Apple today released its latest original series, The Shrink Next Door, streaming now on Apple TV+. The dark comedy drama limited series features Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd. Based on a true story, Rudd plays a psychiatrist who oversteps boundaries to exploit and manipulate his wealthy patient.
The Shrink Next Door is based on a true story about how Marty Markowitz is controlled and abused over decades of manipulation by therapist Ike Herschkopf.
Ike convinces Marty to cut off relationships with his family and effectively bestow all of his personal possessions over to him. His sprawling mansion may be where Marty lives, but it becomes Ike’s home. The story was previously showcased in a popular podcast series of the same name.
The television adaptation stars Will Ferrell as Marty, Paul Rudd as Ike and Kathryn Hahn as Marty’s sister, Phyllis.
