‘Shrinking’ Co-Creator Bill Lawrence Breaks Down Season 2 Ending, Thanksgiving Montage And Season 3 Theme


'Shrinking' co-creator Bill Lawrence breaks down the ending of Season 2 as well as the theme for Season 3.

Though Jimmy (Jason Segel) and company celebrated Thanksgiving in the Season 2 finale, titled “The Last Thanksgiving,” many of the last moments for the comedy ensemble can be seen as Christmas gifts — with Gaby (Jessica Williams) reuniting with both Derrick #2 (Damon Wayans Jr.) AND her mom (Vernée Watson), Brian (Michael Urie) and Charlie (Devin Kawaoka) getting a call from Ava (Claudia Sulewski) about adopting her baby and Jimmy getting a special rock from Liz (Christa Miller). DEADLINE: I spoke with Christa [Miller] a couple weeks ago about the music, and she had mentioned to me that there was a song that the writers kept singing on set and that she really wanted to be in the finale. LAWRENCE: She’s the physical representation, personification of what moving forward means to him, and the way I’ve always done TV shows is it’s fun to have people that we love anyways on and whether that’s Ted McGinley or Cobie or Damon Wayans [Jr.] or Wendie Malick, if they’re really good, I immediately start torturing them and begging them to do more.
