Apple TV revealed that its beloved comedy Trying will return for a fifth season on July 8, following the earlier confirmation of *Ted Lasso* season 4. Both series debuted in 2020, offering comfort viewing during a tumultuous year. The new episodes drop weekly, concluding on August 26, giving subscribers fresh humor throughout the summer.

Season 5 follows London couple Nikki (Esther Smith) and Jason (Rafe Spall) as they confront the sudden arrival of Princess’s biological mother, Kat (Charlotte Riley). Her entrance upends the pair’s fragile equilibrium of infertility struggles, foster care, and adoption plans. Apple describes the storyline as a “whirlwind of chaos” that tests the family’s resolve.

The comedy’s 96% Rotten Tomatoes rating reflects four seasons of critical praise, positioning it alongside titles like *Shrinking* and *Ted Lasso*. New viewers can binge seasons 1‑4 on the platform, while fans appreciate the series’ blend of heartfelt drama and witty banter. Its continued success reinforces Apple TV’s push for quality original sitcoms.

Apple TV costs $12.99 per month, with a discounted tier available through the Apple One bundle. The service’s latest slate—*Ted Lasso* season 4 and *Trying* season 5—demonstrates a strategy to retain subscribers by pairing high‑profile comedies with steady weekly releases. Viewers can start streaming on July 8.
