Apple TV Season 5 of Trying; Netflix Announces Dad's House
Apple TV unveiled a first look at the fifth season of acclaimed comedy series Trying, starring and executive produced by BAFTA Award nominee Esther Smith and Actor Award nominee Rafe Spall. The eight-episode comedy will make its global return to Apple TV with its first episode on Wednesday, July 8 followed by one episode weekly through Wednesday, August 26.
Season five finds Nikki (Smith) and Jason (Spall) dealing with the consequences of Princess (Scarlett Rayner) and Tyler’s (Cooper Turner) biological mother Kat (Charlotte Riley) turning up at their doorstep, and the whirlwind of chaos she brings into their settled family life.
The ensemble cast also includes BAFTA Award winner Darren Boyd (Down Cemetery Road), BAFTA Award nominee Siân Brooke (Blue Lights), Actor Award nominee Celia Imrie (The Thursday Murder Club), BAFTA Award nominee Phil Davis (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince), BAFTA Award winner Gbemisola Ikumelo (Black Ops) and Actor Award nominee Colin Morgan (Belfast).
Netflix announced an all-new adult animated comedy series, Dad's House. In small-town suburban Australia, thirteen year old child of divorce, Sean, spends every second weekend with his laidback, but well meaning dad, Ian. Cramming quality dad-time into a single weekend is already a tall order - but Ian has a remarkable gift for making it so much harder than it needs to be.
Showrunners/EPs: Michael Cusack (Smiling Friends, YOLO), Dario Russo (Danger 5, Italian Spiderman, The Fox), David Ashby (Danger 5, Italian Spiderman).
Voice Cast: Michael Cusack, Dario Russo, David Ashby and Felicity Ward (The Office, Wakefield, The Inbetweeners 2).
Dad's House joins a robust slate of adult animated comedies including upcoming series Mating Season, DANG!, Alley Cats and Haunted Hotel season 2; the critically acclaimed Long Story Short, which has been renewed for a second season; and fan favorites Big Mouth and BoJack Horseman.
