It’s been two years since the Season 4 finale of one of TV’s most comforting shows aired, leaving fans wondering about the futures of Scott (Darren Boyd) and Nicky (Esther Smith) along with Jason (Rafe Spall)’s family. But guess what? I’m thrilled to say I’m back for more.
The gist of Season 5 is that Nicky (Smith) and Jason (Spall) face some new challenges when Princess (Scarlett Rayner) and Tyler’s (Cooper Turner) mother, Kat (Charlotte Riley), unexpectedly arrives, shaking up their previously calm family life.
I can’t help but wonder about a few things. How many episodes will Season 5 have? When are the new episodes slated for release? Is I’m Trying still going to be available on Apple TV? And, of course, who’s in the cast this season?
So, here’s what to look forward to with the return of this beloved Apple TV show, including the release schedule, premiere dates, and more.
