‘Trying’ Season 4 Trailer — Rafe Spall Faces Parenting Challenges

After three seasons building up to their establishment of an ideal nuclear family, Nikki (Esther Smith) and Jason (Rafe Spall) finally have all they ever wanted in Apple TV+’s hit comedy series Trying. The show from writer, creator, and executive producer Andy Wolton has thus far tracked their efforts to have kids by any means necessary, eventually resorting to the adoption process and the myriad of challenges that come with it. Now that they’ve resolved everything and Tyler and Princess are in their custody, they’re ready for the true tests and complicated questions that come with raising adopted children. A new trailer shows the family facing new obstacles together six years later as the kids enter a new phase of their lives.

In Season 4, the family is mostly set up for the foreseeable future with a roof over their heads, a tight support network, and no stress about potentially being separated ever again. However, everyone is still facing their own issues. The trailer shows that Nikki and Jason rarely get time without the kids and parenting isn’t getting any easier with age. Tyler has difficulties as an unpopular kid at school, but his dad is there to support him by starting a youth soccer team full of other misfits from around the neighborhood. Trickiest of all for Nikki and Jason is Princess, who’s now a teenager and has questions for her birth mother, who left her when she was five years old. She’s determined to find answers, even if she has to start digging and traveling on her own to rekindle that connection.

Throughout everything, the parents are more than ready to pick up their kids when they’re down and talk to them about whatever troubles them. This life is what they’ve always wanted throughout the series, and now they get the chance to tackle it warts and all. While the heartwarming series will be tackling plenty more serious subjects this time around, it’s never forgotten to have a few laughs along the way. Humor about the awkwardness and chaos of parenting and adulting still plays into the trailer and is a big part of why Trying has remained a success on Apple TV+.
