Parenthood is no easy feat. We’ve seen the different challenges that the main characters face in ABC comedy Modern Family, we’ve seen young parents Josh and Emily struggle to raise their six-year-old child in HBO Max’s Close Enough, and we’ve seen what can happen to a couple when they have kids in CTV’s Children Ruin Everything. Now, Nikki and Jason have proven that the journey to parenthood can be just as difficult as actual parenting in the Apple TV+ comedy show Trying.
Trying follows the lives of Nikki and Jason, a couple who just want a baby. But, they struggle with conceiving a child and when their chances with IVF become too slim for a high cost, they decide to explore adoption. But with a new journey to parenthood comes new challenges and the couple finds themselves in various challenges while also trying to get ready to face the adoption panel. With their disorderly lives, their crazy friends, and their dysfunctional families, will the couple be able to convince the adoption panel that they’re fit to be parents?
Trying was created and written by Andy Wolton and directed by Jim O’Hanlon. Andy Wolton and Jim O’Hanlon are also executive producers of the show alongside Josh Cole. Trying is produced by Chris Sussman and Emma Lawson. The first season of Trying premiered on May 1, 2020, while the second season premiered on May 21, 2021.

What Is Trying Season 3 About?
The official synopsis for Trying Season 3 as it reads on Apple TV+ says:
After a dramatic end to season two, the eight-episode third season of “Trying” 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.
