Trying has been renewed for Season 5 and here's everything we know about the show

The comedy series Trying will officially return for a fifth season on Apple TV+. The show, created by Andy Wolton, first premiered in 2020 and quickly earned praise for its honest look at the struggles of adoption.

As the title suggests, the show follows Nikki and Jason, a couple who try hard to conceive children but are only met with heartbreak. Rafe Spall and Esther Smith star as the lead couple, Nikki and Jason, who first struggle with infertility before deciding to adopt.

Now, as Trying gears up for a new season, fans are eager to find out what lies ahead for the couple and their children. Here's a closer look at where the show left off and what you can expect in season five.

Everything you need to know before Trying season 5 comes out

Trying season four made a jump ahead of six years, offering a new perspective on Nikki and Jason’s life as adoptive parents. Their once young children are now older, bringing a new set of challenges and experiences for the family. Princess, now a teenager, begins to ask questions about her birth family, especially her birth mother, and even tries to look for her.

While Nikki and Jason are supportive, they also face the emotional struggle of possibly being pushed aside. Meanwhile, Jason takes a new approach to supporting adopted children by starting a football team for kids like Tyler and his friends, hoping to boost their confidence and social skills.

The season ended on a major emotional cliffhanger as Kat suddenly appeared at Nikki and Jason’s door, just after Princess discovered Kat's pictures on Nikki's mobile. This leaves viewers wondering how her presence will impact the family dynamic and whether Princess will choose to form a relationship with her birth mother.

Although specific plot details have not been revealed, season five of Trying is expected to pick up where season four left off. The story will likely focus on the consequences of Kat’s unexpected arrival. The show may explore the bond between Princess and her birth mother, which might make things harder for her adoptive parents. We are most likely going to see a new side of Princess if she chooses to have a relationship with Kat.

Another plotline to watch out for is Jason’s new career path. Toward the end of season four, he begins training as a social worker. This change could bring a deeper sense of understanding of the adoption process and could introduce new characters and cases related to foster care in the upcoming season.

Rafe Spall and Esther Smith are set to return as Jason and Nikki. Scarlett Rayner and Cooper Turner, who play Princess and Tyler, are also expected to reprise their roles. Charlotte Riley, who portrays Kat, will return, as she will likely have a bigger role in the upcoming season. Andy Wolton, the series creator, will continue to lead the writing and production, with BBC Studios producing the show.

Apple TV+ has not yet announced an exact release date for season five of Trying. However, considering the release pattern of previous seasons, fans may expect the new episodes to arrive sometime in late 2025. Until then, all four existing seasons of Trying are available to stream on Apple TV+.
