Based on the acclaimed Wondery and Bloomberg Media podcast and inspired by true events, <em>The Shrink Next Door<\/em> is a dark comedy following the bizarre relationship between psychiatrist to the stars Dr. Isaac \u201cIke\u201d Herschkopf (Rudd) and his longtime patient Martin \u201cMarty\u201d Markowitz (Ferrell).<\/p>\n<p>Over the course of their relationship, the all-too-charming Ike slowly takes over Marty\u2019s life, even moving into Marty\u2019s home and taking over his family business. The series explores how a seemingly normal doctor-patient dynamic morphs into an unprecedentedly exploitative one filled with manipulation, power grabs and dysfunction at its finest.<\/p>\n<p>Ferrell, Jessica Elbaum and Brittney Segal will executive produce for Gloria Sanchez Productions. Rudd and Pritchett will also serve as executive producers. Showalter and Jordana Mollick will executive produce on behalf of Semi-Formal Productions. Hernan Lopez and Marshall Lewy for Wondery and Jared Sandberg, Katie Boyce and Francesca Levy for Bloomberg Media will serve as executive producers, with Joe Nocera as co-executive producer. <em>The Shrink Next Door<\/em> is a Civic Center Media project in association with MRC Television.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MRC Television is set to produce and develop the limited television series The Shrink Next Door, starring Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1049,"featured_media":9817,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[2371,2372],"class_list":["post-9815","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-mrc-television","tag-the-shrink-next-door"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>MRC Television to Develop New Will Ferrell &amp;
