Trying shares heartwarming season 4 trailer with Rafe Spall and Esther Smith
The new run will jump forward six years.
Rafe Spall and Esther Smith are returning for a fourth season of Apple TV+ comedy Trying next month – and a heartwarming trailer for the new run has just been released.
The season will jump forward six years from the previous outing, with Jason (Spall) and Nikki (Smith) now experienced adoptive parents, but as Nikki teases in a voice-over at the start of the trailer, "parenting hasn't got any easier" for the couple.
The 90-second clip previews some of these parenting struggles – from the kids walking in on them in bed to Jason's difficulties coaching a kids' football team – while also hinting at a major storyline that sees their teenage daughter Princess (Scarlett Rayner) looking to connect with her birth mother.
"My mum left when I was five, I just want to find her," we hear her telling Nikki's sister Karen (Sian Brooke). "After all this time, I have things I need to ask her."

Later, we hear Jason telling Nikki: "Look, life might not always be an even playing field, but we can get through anything together if we just keep talking."
"Oh, if Karen calls, I'm not speaking to her, and neither are you," Nikki says in response, to which he jokingly says, "That's the spirit - yeah, exactly."
