Shrinking Season 3 Story Details
More “Jimming” is in store
Season 3 may find Jimmy causing more trouble with his “Jimming,” and he may offer more poor advice to a client who could get himself in hot water.
Although the exact details of the plot of Shrinking Season 3 won’t be out for some time, It is expected that the same basic framework will be in place from previous seasons. Jim’s quest to overcome his grief is far from over, and he will likely continue to use his unorthodox methods to treat patients while also trying to heal himself. This could put a further strain on his relationships, especially on his daughter Alice, who is also dealing with her own grief.
It’s unclear if the Grace subplot will be wrapped up in season 2, and Jimmy could still be involved in her crime, as it was his suggestion that she just “booped” her victim off a cliff. On the other hand, Season 3 may find Jimmy causing more trouble with his “Jimmying,” and he may offer more poor advice to a client who could get himself in hot water. Whatever happens in Shrinking Season 3 should be just as funny as it is compelling.
