Talk about a dream trio: Kathryn Hahn (Transparent) is joining Paul Rudd and Will Ferrell in The Shrink Next Door, an Apple TV+ limited series headlined and executive-produced by Rudd and Ferrell.

Based on the 2019 Wondery and Bloomberg Media podcast, the dark comedy explores the bizarre dynamic between charming psychiatrist to the stars Dr. Isaac “Ike” Herschkopf (Rudd) and his longtime patient Martin “Marty” Markowitz (Ferrell). Ike slowly takes over Marty’s life, even moving into Marty’s home and taking over his family business, as the seemingly normal doctor-patient relationship becomes one fueled by manipulation, power grabs and dysfunction. Hahn will play the sister of Ferrell’s character.

The casting also marks a reunion for Hahn and Rudd, who co-starred on Parks and Recreation.
