Christa Miller Unwinds Between Takes

Actress Christa Miller, the familiar face from Scrubs and The Drew Carey Show, gave fans a glimpse of her off-camera antics with a recent Instagram post dedicated to Apple TV+’s hit comedy Shrinking. Trading her onscreen poise for a wink to the camera, Miller offered a reminder that even therapists deserve a moment of levity.

Christa Miller’s Playful Behind-the-scenes Peek

Miller’s share opened with the caption, “You know what they say, all work and no play…😏 #shrinking,” accompanying two candid snaps. In the first image, she leans casually against a cluttered desk—her expression part-smirk, part-invitation—cradling a coffee mug that reads “Best. Therapist. Ever.” The second photo catches her mid-walk through a corridor lined with lighting rigs, script pages tucked under one arm, as if racing toward the next scene while still finding a moment to pause for fun.

Known for her polished performances as Jordan Sullivan on Scrubs and Kelly on The Drew Carey Show, Miller now appears as Liz in Shrinking, a character navigating the complexities of modern therapy alongside Jason Segel’s James and Harrison Ford’s Dr. Paul Rhoades. In both images, she swaps her character’s composed wardrobe for relaxed jeans and a jacket emblazoned with the Apple TV+ logo—an off-duty nod to the series’ streaming home.

Shrinking, co-created by Miller’s husband, Bill Lawrence, has earned praise for blending heartfelt storytelling with sharp comedy. Miller’s playful post arrives as the show’s second season gains traction, reminding viewers that behind every scripted moment lies a cast and crew with genuine camaraderie.

Shrinking Season 3 Tease

This isn’t the first time Miller has let fans in on Shrinking’s set life. Late last year, she marked Throwback Thursday with a black-and-white shot alongside series creator Mike White, captioning it, “#tbt Love this pic with Mike. So excited he came to play with us this season! #shrinking S3 coming!” That tease sent ripples through social media, fueling speculation about a third season even before the second had premiered.

Miller followed up with a group post titled “This should be the gang ✌🏼🍷,” featuring co-stars gathered around a coffee cart between scenes. Her use of hashtags like #AppleTVPlus and #ShotoniPhone underscores the show’s partnership with Apple’s promotional push, while her casual styling choices—sneakers and denim—highlight the contrast between on-screen tension and off-screen relaxation.

Since its launch in January, Shrinking has been celebrated for tackling grief, guilt, and human connection, all through the lens of quirky humor. The series was renewed for Season 2 within weeks of its debut, and Miller’s unmistakable energy has been a key ingredient in the ensemble’s appeal. Now, with Morning routines and therapy sessions temporarily on pause, Miller reminds us that laughter remains the best medicine—even for therapists.

Whether she’s delivering a heartfelt therapy session or catching her co-stars off guard with a playful grin, Christa Miller continues to demonstrate why she’s one of television’s most versatile performers. Her recent Instagram snippets not only satisfy Shrinking fans but also build anticipation for what’s next—on screen and behind the scenes.
