After a two-year hiatus, the beloved Apple TV+ series Trying is back with its fifth season. The show, known for its heartwarming and relatable portrayal of family life, has been a comfort watch for many. Season 5 picks up where it left off, with the introduction of a new character, Kat (Charlotte Riley), the biological mother of Princess (Scarlett Rayner) and Tyler (Cooper Turner). This development sets the stage for a whirlwind of chaos and emotional turmoil for the settled family of Nikki (Esther Smith) and Jason (Rafe Spall).
One of the most anticipated aspects of the season is the release schedule. With eight episodes, the season will unfold over several weeks, providing viewers with a steady dose of the show's signature humor and heart. The premiere date is set for July 8, with new episodes dropping every Wednesday on Apple TV+. However, for those eager to watch, episodes will start streaming at 9:00 p.m. ET on Tuesdays, just one day before the official premiere.
The cast of Trying Season 5 remains largely the same, with the return of fan-favorite actors like Darren Boyd as Scott, Siân Brooke as Karen, Celia Imrie as Harriet, Phil Davis as Victor, Gbemisola Ikumelo as Chrissy, and Colin Morgan as Kerry. However, the addition of Charlotte Riley as Kat and other new characters promises to bring fresh dynamics and storylines to the show.
For those looking to catch up or relive the earlier seasons, Apple TV+ offers a seven-day free trial for new subscribers. The platform also has a single ad-free streaming plan available for $12.99/month. Amazon Prime members can subscribe to Apple TV directly through Prime Video for a discounted rate of $5.99/month, or opt for a bundle with Peacock for $10/month in savings.
In my opinion, the return of Trying is a welcome addition to the world of television. The show's ability to balance humor and heart while tackling the complexities of family life is truly remarkable. Season 5, with its new characters and storylines, promises to be another delightful and thought-provoking journey. So, mark your calendars, set your reminders, and get ready for another season of laughter, tears, and heartfelt moments with the Trying family.
