A New Episode of Trying Season 5 Arrives on Apple TV
The latest Trying installment is almost here. Fans of the critically acclaimed comedy series can look forward to a new episode of ‘Trying’ S5 available on Apple TV this week. As the season nears its conclusion, the story takes a turn for the unexpected as the central couple finds themselves far from home.
Created by Andy Wolton, the series continues to follow the journey of Nikki, played by Esther Smith, and Jason, portrayed by Rafe Spall. In the upcoming seventh episode, titled Tuscany, the pair attempts to escape their current domestic pressures by traveling to Italy. However, as is often the case with this series, things do not go according to plan, both at home and abroad. The episode is scheduled to premiere globally on Wednesday, August 19, on Apple TV.
The Journey Continues in Season Five
This fifth season has focused on the complex consequences following the arrival of Kat, the biological mother of Princess and Tyler, at the doorstep of Nikki and Jason. Her presence has introduced a whirlwind of chaos into their otherwise settled family life, providing the emotional stakes that have defined the show since its inception. The series has earned a reputation for being a feel-good, poignant, and addictive comedy, currently holding a 96% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The ensemble cast supporting Smith and Spall includes Darren Boyd, Siân Brooke, Celia Imrie, Phil Davis, Gbemisola Ikumelo, and Colin Morgan. Behind the scenes, the production is executive produced by Josh Cole and Sam Pinnell alongside International Emmy Award winner Chris Sussman, with Smith and Spall also serving as executive producers. The series is produced by BBC Studios.
Why Trying Remains a Must-Watch
What makes this announcement notable is the show’s consistent ability to balance humor with genuine heart. As the series approaches its season five finale on August 26, the stakes for Nikki and Jason have never felt higher. The show has successfully carved out a niche as one of Apple TV’s sweetest treats, offering viewers refreshing, character-driven journeys that are rarely seen elsewhere on television. With the addition of original music from Ivor Novello Award-winning artist Orla Gartland, the series continues to maintain its high production standards.
