Apple TV+ renews 'Trying' comedy for fourth season

Ahead of the season finale of critically-acclaimed "Trying," Apple TV+ has announced that it will return for a fourth run.

Apple TV+ has been heavily promoting "Trying" as the comedy to watch when viewers are looking for something to follow "Ted Lasso." The early Apple TV+ series has not had the impact of that other comedy, but has been critically well-received from the start.

Apple's announcement comes ahead of the show's third-season finale, which streams from Friday September 2, 2022, but otherwise includes little detail. No production or streaming dates have been revealed, for instance, and it's only implied that stars Esther Smith and Rafe Spall will return.

In the series created and written by Andy Wolton, Smith and Spall play a couple who originally struggle to conceive a child, then decide to try adopting. The third season has followed their attempts both to get to know their new children, just as it becomes possible that they may be taken away from them.

"Trying" is made for Apple TV+ by BBC Studios.
