The Shrink Next Door is a dark comedy inspired by true events that detail the bizarre relationship between psychiatrist to the stars Dr. Isaac “Ike” Herschkopf and his longtime patient Martin “Marty” Markowitz. Over the course of their relationship, the all-too-charming Ike slowly takes over Marty’s life, even moving into Marty’s Hamptons home and taking over his family business. The series explores how a seemingly normal doctor-patient dynamic morphs into an unprecedentedly exploitative relationship filled with manipulation, power grabs, and dysfunction at its finest.

Wilson, who is set to star as Dr. Herschkopf’s wife Bonnie, joins a cast that also will include Kathryn Hahn, who has collaborated with Ferrell and Rudd on multiple occasions going all the way back to the 2004 acclaimed comedy Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.

Led by Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues co-stars Paul Rudd and Will Ferrell, the limited series will be directed by Michael Showalter (The Big Sick, The Lovebirds) from a on a script written by Georgia Pritchett (Succession, Veep).
