Apple TV+ renews acclaimed comedy series ‘Trying’ for fifth season

Apple TV+ renews acclaimed comedy series “Trying” for a fifth season.
Apple TV+ on Tuesday 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.”
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. The series is produced by BBC Studios.
The complete first four seasons of “Trying” are now streaming on Apple TV+. Spall also stars in the upcoming Apple TV+ drama “Smoke.”
Apple TV+ offers premium, compelling drama and comedy series, feature films, groundbreaking documentaries, and kids and family entertainment, and is available to watch across all of a user’s favorite screens. After its launch on November 1, 2019, Apple TV+ became the first all-original streaming service to launch around the world, and has premiered more original hits and received more award recognitions faster than any other streaming service in its debut. To date, Apple Original films, documentaries and series have been honored with 569 wins and 2,607 award nominations and counting, including multi-Emmy Award-winning comedy “Ted Lasso” and historic Oscar Best Picture winner “CODA.”

MacDailyNews Take: As we wrote back in June 2022, “If you like “Ted Lasso,” we highly recommend “Trying,” an extremely likable, nuanced, gem of a series.”
Also of note, Scarlett Rayner is a standout actress.
