Trying Season Five Given the Green Light
Today, Apple TV+ announced a fifth season renewal for acclaimed comedy series Trying, starring BAFTA Award nominee Esther Smith and SAG Award nominee Rafe Spall.
Season five finds Nikki (Smith) and Jason (Spall) dealing with the consequences of Princess and Tyler’s biological mother, Kat (Charlotte Riley), turning up at their doorstep, and the whirlwind of chaos she brings into their settled family life.
Since its global debut, Trying has been hailed as a “feel-good,” “poignant,” and “addictive” comedy that is “one of Apple TV+’s sweetest treats.”
The series has achieved a 95% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, as fans applaud “standout performers,” “brilliant details,” and the “heartwarming, critically acclaimed” series that “provides refreshing journeys we don’t often see on television.”
In addition to Esther Smith and Rafe Spall, the ensemble cast includes BAFTA Award winner Darren Boyd as Scott, Siân Brooke as Karen, Scarlett Rayner as Princess, and Cooper Turner as Tyler.
Trying is created, written, and executive produced by Andy Wolton, and executive produced by BAFTA Award nominees Josh Cole and Sam Pinnell alongside Chris Sussman. BBC Studios produces the series.
The complete first four seasons of Trying are now streaming on Apple TV+. Spall also stars in the upcoming Apple TV+ drama Smoke.
In the fourth season, which debuted on May 22, 2024, we fast-forward six years to discover that Nikki (Smith) and Jason (Spall) are experienced adopters. They have built a lovely little nuclear family enriched by an extraordinary support network.
However, as their teenage daughter, Princess (Scarlett Rayner), starts to yearn for a connection with her birth mother, Nikki and Jason find themselves confronted with the ultimate test of their parenting skills.
