Tom Howe at Deadline's Sound & Screen TelevisionJC Olivera The last time Tom Howe spoke with Deadline about his musical compositions for the Apple TV+ comedy series Shrinking, the composer expressed the hope he would be able to further unpack the opening theme song, “Frightening Fishes” in a Season 2. Howe worked closely with Miller — who also serves as a music supervisor on the show with Tony Von Pervieux — to set up a final, emotional scene between Brett Goldstein’s Louis, the man who killed Jimmy’s wife and Alice’s mom in a car accident, and Jimmy on Thanksgiving. There was going to be a song at the end, so I sort of knew where I had to arrive, and I went back from there, actually, to when he was in the coffee shop when he’s told he can’t go to Thanksgiving, and that’s what makes him decide to go to the station,” Howe said.
