Inspired by true events, “The Shrink Next Door” details the bizarre
relationship between psychiatrist to the stars Dr. Isaac “Ike” Herschkopf
(played by Paul Rudd) and his longtime patient Martin “Marty” Markowitz
(played by Will Ferrell). 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 series also
stars Kathryn Hahn as Phyllis, Marty’s younger sister, and Casey Wilson as
Bonnie, the wife of Dr. Herschkopf.
