Apple TV+ 《Trying》 Season 5 Official Trailer

Trying season 5 begins when Kat, the biological mother of Princess and Tyler, appears at Nikki and Jason’s doorstep. The eight-episode season premiered globally on Apple TV on July 8, 2026.

《Trying》 Season 5 brings an unexpected change to the family Nikki and Jason have built with Princess and Tyler. When the children’s birth mother, Kat, appears at the door, their seemingly settled daily life must find new rules for this relationship. The eight-episode season premiered worldwide on Apple TV on July 8, 2026, with one episode released each week through August 26.

The key point shown in the official trailer is that Kat’s appearance does not end as a simple visit. For Princess and Tyler, it means having someone who connects them to their roots; for Nikki and Jason, it means reconsidering the balance of the relationship they have maintained as parents. Season 5 explores the coexistence of different roles and emotions within one family through the rhythm of comedy.

Esther Smith and Rafe Spall return as Nikki and Jason, while Scarlett Rayner and Cooper Turner play Princess and Tyler. Charlotte Riley plays Kat, and Darren Boyd, Sian Brooke, Celia Imrie, Phil Davis, Gbemisola Ikumelo, and Colin Morgan also join the ensemble.

Andy Wolton serves as the series’ creator, writer, and executive producer, and it is produced by BBC Studios. The early-season episode ‘Rollercoaster’ begins with Kat’s arrival threatening Nikki and Jason’s family dynamic, while also following the aftermath of Nikki’s lie.
