Michael J. Fox is making his return to TV.

The "Family Ties" actor was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1991, when he was 29. He has been open and transparent with the public about his journey navigating his health issues.
"Everyone's taking an abundance of caution with me and warned me to be careful," Fox said in a 2020 "Good Morning America" interview about his memoir, "No Time Like the Future: An Optimist Considers Mortality." "I have to think before I walk; I can't just get up and go because I don't have much control of my momentum and control of my direction."
Apple TV+ announced Fox's return to the acting world in a joint Instagram post with the actor Thursday.
"Big feelings incoming," the caption read.
Fox joins current "Shrinking" stars Harrison Ford and Jason Segel and show co-creator and executive producer Bill Lawrence, with whom Fox worked on "Spin City" in the late '90s and early 2000s.
The cast of "Shrinking" also includes Christa Miller, Jessica Williams, Luke Tennie, Michael Urie, Lukita Maxwell and Ted McGinley. Jeff Daniels was previously announced as a guest star for season 3.
The first two seasons of "Shrinking" are currently available to stream on Apple TV+.
