Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd to Star in THE SHRINK NEXT DOOR TV Series

Will Ferrell And Paul Rudd To Star In Limited Series The Shrink Next Door

Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd are set to star in and executive produce the new limited series "The Shrink Next Door", which is based on the 2019 Wondery and Bloomberg Media podcast of the same name. Michael Showalter ("Wet Hot American Summer") is set to direct and executive produce alongside writer Georgia Pritchett ("Succession").

Inspired by true events, the dark comedy will follow the bizarre relationship between psychiatrist to the stars Dr. Isaac "Ike" Herschkopf (Rudd) and his longtime patient Martin "Marty" Markowitz (Ferrell). Over the course of their relationship, Ike slowly takes over Marty’s life, even moving into Marty’s home and taking over his family business. The series explores how a seemingly normal doctor-patient dynamic morphs into an unprecedentedly exploitative one filled with manipulation, power grabs, and dysfunction at its finest.

The series will also be executive produced by Jessica Elbaum, Brittney Segal, Jordana Mollick, Hernan Lopez, Marshall Lewy, Joe Nocera, and Francesca Levy.

This will be Ferrell and Rudd's first collaboration since "Anchorman 2" in 2013. The series is in development at Media Rights Capital (MRC) Television with no network or streaming service currently attached.

Ferrell can next be seen in the Netflix comedy "Eurovision" opposite Rachel McAdams, which will be released in May. As for Rudd, he can be seen this year in Sony's reboot "Ghostbusters: Afterlife", which opens in July.
