Who is the actor in the shrink next door?
Paul Rudd and Will Ferrell are set to star in this series based on Wondery’s podcast The Shrink Next Door, a quirky story about a man controlled and manipulated by his therapist. The podcast was written and narrated by journalist Joe Nocera who bought a house in the Hamptons and was invited to a lavish party hosted by celebrity therapist Isaac ‘Ike’ Herschkopf (Rudd). It wasn’t until the following summer that Nocera discovered the house wasn’t owned by Ike at all but by Marty Markowitz (Ferrell), (Nocera had thought he was the gardener) who’d recently thrown Ike out of his home. It was the start of a weird and compelling story which went back decades. Studio Media Rights Capital is developing the project and Michael Showalter who made The Big Sick is currently attached to direct. There’s potential here for a show that’s shocking and surprising but tonally lighter than some on this list.
