Cobbie Smulders has officially re-joined Shrinking for its upcoming season three.

The actress will be reprising her role as Sofi, the potential love interest of Jason Segel’s Jimmy.

The comedy drama's co-creator Bill Lawrence announced the How I Met Your Mother stars reunion in an interview with the TVLine, revealing that Smulders will be seen as a lot more as she recurs in season three after her appearance in season two episode Changing Patterns.

"The cool thing about the show and we even told all the actors and actresses this when we started is that this is a show about a tiny found family that built a nuclear safety bubble around themselves to get through s‑‑‑, and then people forgive and open up these doors," Lawrence told the outlet.

He continued, "That's why you see someone like Isabella Gomez, who is playing a love interest for Luke Tennie's character [Sean]… You see Michael J. Fox coming in… [and] you see Cobie Smulders come in for Jason as a guy that you know, you talk about moving forward, and whether or not [Jimmy] can find a way to even imagine himself being happy again."

Segel and Smuldurs first starred opposite to each other in nine seasons of the hit rom-com sitcom series, How I Met Your Mother as close friends, meanwhile Shrinking featured them as recently divorced Sofi sold a yellow Mini Cooper to Jimmy for his daughter Alice's (Lukita Maxwell) 18th birthday present.

During the sale, sparks flew between Jimmy and Sofi as they bonded over the loss of their partners.

Shrinking season three is in productions, however, the release date is yet to be announced.
