The beloved Apple TV+ British comedy series, Trying, is returning this week, and viewers will finally see Nikki and Jason commencing parenthood.
Directed by Jim O'Hanlon and created by Andy Wolton, who also serves as the writer, the series revolves around Nikki and Jason, a couple wishing to become parents and opting for adoption, only to face new challenges and surprises that come with it.
Trying Season 3: Trailer, synopsis, and ensemble cast
The new season of Trying is set to premiere on Friday, July 22 at 3:00 AM ET on Apple TV+. The series' executive producers are Andy Wolton, Jim O'Hanlon, and Josh Cole, along with Chris Sussman and Emma Lawson as producers.
The synopsis for the upcoming season reads:
"After a dramatic end to season two, the third season picks up with Nikki (BAFTA nominee Esther Smith) and Jason (SAG Award-nominee Rafe Spall) waking up as new parents to two children they are still getting to know. Now they just have to keep hold of them, which proves to be trickier than they initially thought. Thrown straight into the parental deep-end, Nikki and Jason’s relationships with each other and with their nearest and dearest are tested as they desperately try to navigate the ups and downs of parenting — while hanging onto their kids, and their sanity."
The official trailer for season 3 dropped last month. It featured the couple diving into their parental responsibilities while also struggling to keep their apartment to give their new kids a stable life.
