Apple TV+ just gave car lovers a little bonus alongside the Season 3 hype for Shrinking, and it’s the kind of cameo that instantly steals the spotlight. In the separate clip tied to the full Series 3 trailer, Harrison Ford’s Paul is behind the wheel of a Porsche 911 at the Porsche Experience Center with Jason Segel’s Jimmy riding shotgun, and the whole thing plays like Paul woke up with something to prove. The car is being driven with way more enthusiasm than anyone expects from a therapy-focused comedy, with Paul tossing the 911 around like he’s chasing lap times instead of life lessons. Jimmy’s passenger-seat reactions sell it perfectly, because he’s equal parts terrified and impressed as the 911 does what 911s do best: turn “just a quick drive” into an event.
The joke that lands hardest is the trailer’s wink that Paul “clearly watched the F1 movie,” and honestly, it fits the vibe. It’s that specific post-movie confidence where you suddenly feel qualified to drive like a pro, even if you’re definitely not wearing a helmet and definitely not on a closed set. The fun part is how believable it feels in a Porsche setting, because the Experience Center is basically designed to encourage exactly this kind of overconfident grin. If this is the tone Shrinking is bringing into Season 3, it’s a nice reminder that the show’s heart and humor can share the screen with a little tire squeal and flat-six chaos, with the season premiering January 28 on Apple TV+.
