Jessica Williams talks season 3 of ‘Shrinking’

Jessica Williams sat down for an interview with Deadline where she opened up about season 3 of her series, Shrinking.

About what she thinks attracts people to the series, she explained, “I think one of the things that people really love about the show, or what I get from this show myself, from the second season especially, is that they wish they knew these characters. They wish they knew Derek [Ted McGinley], Brian [Michael Urie], Jimmy, Paul [Harrison Ford], etc., and they wish they could hang out with these people. And I think people are really responding to the found family aspect of the show. Sometimes you just want a cozy show like Cheers, which is one of the greatest shows of all time, where you show up and you know these characters and you fall in love with them.”

She continued, “I think people are responding to the aspect of these people who are neighbors and coworkers, just flowing in and out of each other’s lives, making mistakes, overstepping boundaries, clarifying boundaries, and apologizing to each other. I know behind the scenes, the actors and I all really love and respect each other. This goes to the crew as well. All of the crew, our directors and writers, there’s so much love there. And I hope that comes through on the screen because we’re a real touchy-feeling show. After all, we’re a show that’s about therapy. Also, we’re really in tune with each other.”

“Our casting directors got nominated for casting, and this really is a strong ensemble of a show, and I think there is just such fun chemistry between us that I think people really respond to that, as well. And I know for me to play Gaby, I would not be as good if I didn’t have so many incredible actors and actresses that I got to work with,” Williams concluded.
