Anchorman stars Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd are reuniting for a new dark comedy series for Apple TV+. Apple has secured the rights to a new show called "The Shrink Next Door," which reunites the two actors for the first time since 2013's Anchorman 2.

　　According to Variety, there was a bidding war for The Shrink Next Door, with "multiple platforms" seeking the rights before Apple closed the deal. Sources told the site that negotiations for the series were held virtually instead of in-person due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

　　The Shrink Next Door is based on the podcast of the same name that chronicles the real-life story of the relationship between a psychiatrist and his patient. Rudd plays the doctor, Dr. Isaac "Ike" Herschkopf and while Ferrell will star as his patient, Martin "Marty" Markowitz.

　　"The Shrink Next Door is the story of one therapist's psychological manipulation as he crossed lines and defrauded his patients--and he's still out there," reads a line from the podcast's description.

　　There will be eight episodes in The Shrink Next Door, which is a limited series. The show is produced by Civic Center Media and MRC Television, which is also made Netflix's House of Cards. Michael Showalter (The Big Sick) is directing The Shrink Next Door, and Georgia Pritchett (Veep, Succession) is writing it.

　　Apple has not yet announced a release date for The Shrink Next Door.
