Can I watch 'Shrinking' for free?

Has 'Shrinking' been renewed for a second season?
As of January 27, Apple TV has not renewed "Shrinking" for season two just yet. This decision will likely be made once the season one finale has premiered.
Since "Ted Lasso" is expected to end after its third season, Apple TV is likely looking for a similar comedy to fill its place. If "Shrinking" can recapture the heart and popularity of that hit series, then its renewal is very likely.
