Anchorman stars Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd are reuniting for a new dark comedy series for Apple TV+. Apple has secured the rights to a new show called "The Shrink Next Door," which reunites the two actors for the first time since 2013’s Anchorman 2.
According to Variety, there was a bidding war for The Shrink Next Door, with "multiple platforms" seeking the rights before Apple closed the deal. Sources told the site that negotiations for the series were held virtually instead of in-person due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Shrink Next Door is based on the podcast of the same name that chronicles the real-life story of the relationship between a psychiatrist and his patient. Rudd plays the doctor, Dr. Isaac "Ike" Herschkopf and while Ferrell will star as his patient, Martin "Marty" Markowitz.
