What’s the Show About?

Trying follows Nikki and Jason as they navigate parenthood after adopting their children, Princess and Tyler, having learned they were unlikely to have a biological child. Season 5 has kept the show’s emotional core front and center while stirring in new complications — the previous episode found Nikki and Jason each confronting hard truths, while another character, Vic, buckled under the pressure of his own success. Episode 6 marks the season’s midway turn toward its eventual finale.

Where Can You Watch?

Trying remains exclusive to Apple TV+, which offers a free trial for eligible new subscribers in many regions — a good chance to catch up on all four previous seasons before diving into episode 6. The show is rated TV-14 and filmed largely on location in Camden Town, London, giving the series its distinct British charm reminiscent of classic British sitcom storytelling.
