Inspired by true events and based on Joe Nocera’s podcast of the same name, The Shrink Next Door details 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 inserts himself into Marty’s life, even moving into Marty’s Hamptons home and persuading Marty to name him president of the family business. The series explores how a seemingly normal doctor-patient dynamic morphs into an exploitative relationship filled with manipulation, power grabs, and dysfunction at its finest.

The dark comedy miniseries stars Paul Rudd (Ant-Man and Wasp: Quantumania) as Ike and Will Ferrell (Elf) as Marty along with Kathryn Hahn (WandaVision) as Phyllis, and Casey Wilson (Happy Endings) as Bonnie.
