This blog post explores all you need to know about The Shrink Next Door on Apple TV+, including some great behind-the-scenes content from our own Ashley DeLeon who visited the set for this exclusive interview with Dr. Phil himself!
What is the release date of The Shrink Next Door?
Apple announced that the new show “The Shrink Next Door” will start streaming on Friday, November 12, 2021. They said that it was only a few years since the podcast came out. The podcast is very interesting. Hollywood wanted to make a movie about it so they got the stars. The stars spoke about why they decided to do this movie.
Ferrell said, “What intrigued me the most was that you hear what happened to Marty in broad strokes and your first reaction is, ‘That would never happen to me.’ When you start, you see the death by a thousand cuts. It’s like “Oh no, I now see how that could happen to me.” Then I want to play the role. “Playing these characters was hard. They were real people, but they were also interesting people and an interesting story. I had to play a different kind of character.”
What is the plot of The Shrink Next Door?
This TV show is about a therapist who lives next door to his patient. He tells the story of how they become friends and then the patient starts living with him. The problem is that this relationship becomes very intense and bad for both people. Ike is a therapist who works with many famous people. But Ike’s relationship with Marty changes as Ike starts coming to all of his appointments and takes over his life.
We think the series is based on a true story. They know this because it is about someone who is in real life, and they were interviewed for the podcast. We also talked to the person in real life (Marty) to hear about his experiences.
When we sat down with him, he was an open book. We had access to him whenever we wanted to call him up again or send him an email. He never asked us to do anything different for his story. He answered any questions we had for him, and we can’t wait to see how “The Shrink Next Door” plays out. It premieres on November 12th on AppleTV+.
Who will be starring in it?
The two actors, Will Ferrell, and Paul Rudd have been attached to this project since the beginning. They are going to play Doctor Herschkopf, who is a shrink, and Marty Markowitz.
Ferrell and Rudd told EW that when they decided to build the movie, it was a natural decision who would play what part. Ferrell said, “I don’t think we ever really talked about this much.” I just pictured Paul as Ike and vice versa.
In 2020, it was announced that Kathryn Hahn would be in the movie, “Anchorman: The Legend Continues.” She plays Phyllis. Marty’s sister. She is suspicious of her brother’s life because she thinks he has a problem with alcohol. In the movie, there will be two characters played by Casey Wilson and Sarayu Blue. Casey acts as Ike’s wife. And then Sarayu is another of Ike’s patients named Miriam.
What is the information related to it?
Another popular podcast is getting a TV show. It is about a celebrity therapist who tries to be friends with his patient. The show has 10 episodes and it will start this year.
A year after the podcast was released, Deadline said that Apple TV+ had the rights to the story and planned to make it into an eight-episode series. The stars of the show will be Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd. The series is directed by Michael Showalter. He has directed movies like “Doris” and “Sick.” Georgia Pritchett wrote episodes of “Veep” and “Succession.” A new show is coming on TV. People like it and want to watch it.
