Apple TV’s best comedy premieres its fifth season today

Apple TV premieres today the fifth season of Trying, one of the warmest and most optimistic comedies in Apple TV+’s lineup. Since its debut in 2020, the series starring Esther Smith and Rafe Spall has won over those of us who were looking for light, funny stories. After a year of waiting since the end of the fourth season, we can now enjoy the first episode of this new run, available starting today in the Apple TV app.

What to expect from the new season of Trying

The fifth season drops us straight into Nikki and Jason’s lives as they try to keep their family calm after the arrival of Kat, Princess and Tyler’s biological mother, which sparks a chain of events that changes everything. The visit, unexpected even if teased at the end of last season, threatens the balance the couple had built, and brings moments that are as chaotic as they are touching.

With the premiere of the first episode today, July 8, a new episode will drop every Wednesday until August 26, when the season will come to an end. For now we don’t know what’s next for the series, as this fifth season has neither been announced as the end nor has the series been renewed for another season.

While we wait for news from Camden Town, on Apple TV you can also watch hits like Severance, Silo, The Morning Show, Pluribus, or Shrinking, so we’ve got plenty to watch. Beyond that, Trying returns in fine form, ready to keep being the kind of comedy that delivers humor and warmth.
