After the events of season 4, Trying follows Nikki and Jason as they navigate life as adoptive parents. The series dives into family dynamics, schooling worries, and the adjustments that come when the kids grow up and start finding their own footing.
Last season jumped six years into the future, bringing Nikki and Jason to the helm of a more settled family, with their teenage daughter Princess grappling with the longing to find her biological mother. That family dynamic stays at the core of the series, which treats its themes with a warm, everyday-comedy sensibility. Readers can find our article on season 4 of Trying on Apple TV.
Trying could appeal to viewers seeking a British comedy centered on a couple, parenting, and an adoptive family. Season 5 is mainly aimed at those who have followed Nikki and Jason from the start, even though the show’s accessible tone makes the relational dynamics between the characters quick to grasp.
