Jason and Nikki are navigating the teenage years in Season 4 of the hit Apple TV+ series. Trying.

“Trying” is Apple’s heartwarming critically acclaimed comedy starring BAFTA Award-nominee Esther Smith and SAG Award-nominee Rafe Spall. In this exciting new season, we fast-forward six years, discovering that Nikki (Smith) and Jason (Spall) are experienced adopters having built a lovely little nuclear family, enriched by an extraordinary support network.
