Also \u2013 make sure to check out our <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/drama\/kathryn-hahn-shrink-next-door-big-rt-interview\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Big RT Interview<\/a> with The Shrink Next Door and WandaVision star Kathryn Hahn.<\/p> <h2>Will The Shrink Next Door return for season 2?<\/h2>\n<p>Apple TV+ has not yet announced whether The Shrink Next Door will be back for a second season, but we\u2019d be very surprised if the drama were to come back considering it has always been branded as a miniseries.<\/p>\n<p>Based on Joe Nocera\u2019s Bloomberg podcast of the same name, The Shrink Next Door tells the real story of Isaac Herschkopf, a New York psychiatrist who embedded himself into the life of his patient Martin Markowitz over the course of 30 years.<\/p>\n<p>Since the series covers the same period of the podcast, up to Markowitz making a complaint against Herschkopf to the New York Department of Health in 2012, there wouldn\u2019t really be anywhere for a second season to go, especially since Markowitz and Herschkopf no longer speak, Herschkopf\u2019s medical licence has been taken away from him and Markowitz has closed down his family business.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s possible that The Shrink Next Door season two could explore the other stories of Herschkopf\u2019s patients that featured only briefly in the first season \u2013 for instance, that of Miriam, who was played by Sarayu Blue and appears to be a fictional character based on Herschkopf\u2019s other real-life patients.<\/p>\n<p>In the podcast, Nocera hears from Herschkopf\u2019s other patients Judith and Emily (who are both given pseudonyms) and their relationships with the psychiatrist. A second season could look at these in more detail.<\/p>\n<p>However, it\u2019s most likely that if The Shrink Next Door were to be given a second season, it would focus on a completely new story entirely, much like the drama Dirty John, which is also based on a podcast.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Shrink Next Door season 2 predicted release date?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div
