One of the most underappreciated TV shows on Apple TV Plus is returning for its third outing this week, and it's almost time to watch Trying season 3. While Ted Lasso might pinch all the headlines, wannabe parents Nikki (Esther Smith) and Jason (Rafe Spall) give him a run for his money in the endearing department without a question.
The first season of the show saw the 30-somethings make their way through the rigorous adoption approval process. While Trying’s sophomore season saw Nikki and Jason struggle to match with a child to complete their family. However, the finale of season two saw them finally bring their foster child, Princess, home only for them to discover her younger brother also needed a family to take him in.
Trying season 3 will see the duo attempt to adjust to life as first-time foster parents to not one but two young children, and based on the trailer it looks like the hapless pair will be getting into their usual scrapes and misadventures. This season won’t be without drama however because just as Nikki and Jason have got everything they’ve ever wanted it could all be torn away from them.
It won’t just be Nikki and Jason trying to adjust to such huge life changes this season either, the show’s equally charming supporting cast will be along for the ride. Best friends Erica (Ophelia Lovibond) and Freddy (Oliver Chris) are confirmed to be returning, as well as Nikki’s sister Karen (Sian Brooke) and her eccentric husband (Darren Boyd).
Trying is one of Apple TV Plus’ best shows, and its return comes not a moment too soon. Read on for everything you need to know about how to watch Trying season 3 online.

Trying season 3 trailer
Last month Apple gave us our first look at Trying season 3 via a two-minute trailer. This sneak peek sets up what will likely be the biggest storylines of the season: Nikki and Jason have just 12 weeks to prove they are capable of providing a home for two children. A matter that will only be complicated by the fact their landlord plans to sell their home, potentially leaving them without suitable accommodation for Princess and her brother. The trailer also suggests that Trying’s gentle tone and light, but enjoyable, humor will persist in its third season which is a very good thing in our books.

How to watch Trying season 3 from anywhere
If you're stuck abroad — in one of the few countries where Apple TV Plus is not available — you will likely run into geo-fenced restrictions on the platforms and services you can use. But with the help of a virtual private network (VPN), you can watch Trying season 3 and all the other shows you want on the services you already pay for no matter where you are.
Based on our testing, the best VPN is ExpressVPN, which is easy to use and delivers fast internet speeds, making it simple to set up for streaming in no time at all.
