If you’re not watching Shrinking, I genuinely don’t know what you’re doing with your Wednesday evenings. This show has Harrison Ford being funny on purpose — and somehow it’s also one of the most emotionally intelligent things on TV. Here’s how to watch Season 3 in the UAE.

Where to Watch Shrinking Season 3

Here’s the full breakdown:

If you bought a new Apple device recently — iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV 4K — check your account for an unclaimed 3-month free Apple TV+ offer. It’s the kind of thing that quietly expires while you’re still debating whether to use it.

Is Shrinking Season 3 Free to Watch?

Shrinking Season 3 is not free, but Apple TV+ offers a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. With five episodes already out and six more to go, you could time a trial to catch a decent chunk of the season.

There’s no free-with-ads tier on Apple TV+ — it’s one flat price, no ads, full library access. Honestly, for a service that also has Ted Lasso, Severance, and The Morning Show, the value proposition is pretty solid.

Can I Watch Shrinking Season 3 in the UAE?

Yes. Shrinking Season 3 is fully available on Apple TV+ in the UAE with no geo-restrictions. Episodes premiere globally on Wednesdays, which means they typically land early Wednesday morning UAE time (around 6 AM GST). Arabic subtitles are available from day one.

Apple TV+ works on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV 4K, Samsung/LG/Sony smart TVs, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, and any browser at tv.apple.com. No VPN needed.

What Is Shrinking Season 3 About?

Shrinking Season 3 follows therapist Jimmy Laird (Jason Segel) as he confronts the consequences of his rule-breaking approach to therapy, while navigating his daughter leaving for college and the possibility of new love.

Season 1 was about grief. Season 2 was about forgiveness. Season 3’s theme is “moving forward” — which sounds simple until you realize that means every character has to actually deal with the mess they’ve been avoiding. Jimmy’s radical honesty with his patients has created ripple effects that are now coming home to roost.

The big additions this season are Michael J. Fox as Gerry, a fellow Parkinson’s patient who bonds with Paul (Harrison Ford) at a neurology clinic, and Jeff Daniels as Jimmy’s estranged father Randy. Fox’s casting is particularly meaningful — this marks his first acting role since 2020, and his scenes with Ford are apparently some of the best the show has ever done. Candice Bergen also shows up, because apparently this season decided to collect legends.

The show holds a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes for Season 2 and has already been renewed for Season 4, so Apple clearly knows what it has here.

Shrinking Season 3 Episode Schedule

Shrinking Season 3 has 11 episodes, releasing weekly on Wednesdays on Apple TV+ from January 28 to April 8, 2026. The premiere was a special one-hour episode.

We’re nearly at the halfway mark. If you’re jumping in fresh, five episodes is a very manageable catch-up — especially since the premiere is a double-length episode that sets the entire season’s emotional stakes.

Do I Need to Watch Shrinking Seasons 1 and 2 First?

Yes, you really should watch Seasons 1 and 2 before starting Season 3. Unlike some shows where each season is semi-standalone, Shrinking builds deeply on character arcs and relationships from previous seasons. Jimmy’s grief, Paul’s Parkinson’s diagnosis, the Louis storyline — all of it carries forward and directly drives the Season 3 plot.

The good news: Seasons 1 and 2 are 22 episodes total, each around 30 minutes. You could realistically catch up in a long weekend. Both seasons are on Apple TV+, no extra cost. And honestly, if you’re going to fall in love with this show — and you will — you want the full experience.
