Overview
Andy Wolton brings a sharp, cynical edge to the parenting genre with Trying, a comedy series that aired on Apple TV from May 2020 through August 2026. The show stars Rafe Spall and Esther Smith as Jason and Nikki, a couple desperate for a child but blocked by the rigid bureaucracy of the adoption system. Alongside them, Scarlett Rayner plays the sharp-tongued social worker Princess, while Cooper Turner joins as their friend Tyler. Over five seasons and forty episodes, the series balances the frustration of the process with genuine moments of joy and heartbreak.
