Based on the search results available, the most significant recent development for Michael J. Fox is his acting return in Apple TV's Shrinking Season 3. According to multiple sources including IMDb and ComicBook, Fox is making his first live-action acting role in five years after stepping back from on-camera work in 2020 due to complications from his Parkinson's disease diagnosis.
The official trailer for Season 3 was released on December 30th, 2025, featuring Fox in a scene with Harrison Ford. In the moment, Fox's character sits beside Ford's character Dr. Paul Rhoades in a medical facility waiting room. When asked what brings him to the doctor, Ford's character responds "Parkinson's," and Fox deadpans that he's just there for a haircut, drawing laughter from both characters.
According to Hello Magazine and other sources, Fox himself initiated this opportunity by personally calling series co-creator Bill Lawrence after learning the show featured a character with Parkinson's disease. Lawrence, who previously worked with Fox on Spin City, immediately embraced the reunion. What was originally planned as a single episode appearance expanded into multiple episodes because Fox enjoyed the experience so much.
Hello Magazine reports that Fox explained the freedom of the role, stating he didn't have to worry about fatigue or other symptoms while filming and could incorporate his real-life challenges into his performance. Bill Lawrence told People that Fox "continues to work harder than anyone I know" and praised him as both a mentor and inspiration.
Fox also voiced Michael J. The Fox in Disney's Zootopia 2 this year and was the subject of the Emmy-winning documentary Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie in 2023.
Shrinking Season 3 premieres globally on Apple TV on January 28, 2026, with a one-hour premiere episode followed by weekly releases through April 8, 2026. The series stars Jason Segel, Harrison Ford, and features guest appearances from Jeff Daniels and other notable actors.
