'Trying' Season 4's Trailer Brings the Family Problems into a New Era

Ted Lasso may have been the British-based series that put Apple TV+ on the map, but Trying, which debuted weeks before the sports juggernaut in May 2020 and spent years being overlooked despite being the more dependably well-done series, will have the last laugh. The family dramedy about a couple who are struggling to conceive may not sound like the stuff of laugh-out-loud comedy, but British comedy knows how to make the most hard and painful parts of life funny, even when they hurt. Moreover, British comedies, understand that sometimes all it takes to be a show with a happy ending is for it not to be a tragedy, as Trying has managed to do every single season, especially with Season 3 when the central couple, Nikki and John, wound up unexpectedly adopting a pair of foster kids they never imagined they'd want.

Trying's almost-perfect happy ending (well, perfect for their family anyway) that closed out Season 3 had viewers wonder where the show could go from there when Apple TV+ promised that Season 4 was greenlit within hours of the finale streaming. It turns out the answer is "To the future!" The series will say goodbye to the younger actors who played adopted kids Princess and Tyler in Season 3 and drive full speed ahead into the second decade of their lives, hitting the middle and high school years full force, with all the teenage hormones and social pecking order issues that are inherent within.

But if Nikki and John thought that the teenage years were going to be tough because their kids were teenagers, they have another twist to deal with. Now that their kids are becoming fully fleshed-out humans, they also want to know about the families that gave them up. Check out the trailer.
