What is Trying about?

The sitcom follows couple Jason and Nikki who were trying for a baby for years without success.

Eventually, they made the decision to adopt, but their outlandish friends and weird family threatened to put off the adoption agency and derail their plans.

At the end of season two, the pair were finally able to adopt two children, Princess and Tyler, and looked forward to starting their new life as a family.

The official Apple TV+ says: “After a dramatic end to season two, the eight-episode third season of Trying picks up with Nikki and Jason waking up as new parents to two children they are still getting to know.

“Now they just have to keep hold of them, which proves to be trickier than they initially thought.

“Thrown straight into the parental deep end, Nikki and Jason’s relationships with each other and with their nearest and dearest are tested as they desperately try to navigate the ups and downs of parenting — while hanging onto their kids, and their sanity.”
