“#How Paul Rudd & Will Ferrell Prepared for Apple’s ‘The Shrink Next Door’”
Will Ferrell stars as anxiety-plagued textile boss Martin “Marty” Markowitz, whose sister, Phyllis (Kathryn Hahn), first encourages him to see psychiatrist Isaac “Ike” Herschkopf (Paul Rudd) in the ’80s.

Over the years, manipulative Ike infiltrates Marty’s company and bank account, and fractures his relationship with suspicious Phyllis. Still, the line between victim and villain isn’t black and white.
“Marty and Ike need each other in this weird way,” says exec producer and director Michael Showalter (The Big Sick), who, along with Rudd and Ferrell, spent time with the real Markowitz in New York’s Hamptons, where much of the story unfolds.
“The show is funny, but it’s also about people who are struggling and have a lot of pain — including Ike — and deal with it in different ways.”
