Scott Foley may be closing one chapter — and opening a very different one.
After becoming a key presence on Will Trent, Foley is now signaling a shift that has fans buzzing: stepping back from the hit ABC series while setting his sights on a new project outside the Will Trent universe. The move has sparked immediate speculation about what it means for his character — and whether this goodbye is temporary… or final.
Sources close to the production suggest Foley is eager to explore a new creative direction, trading the familiar rhythm of network crime drama for something fresh, riskier, and more personal. While Will Trent continues to move forward, Foley’s attention appears focused on a project that allows him to stretch in ways the show no longer can.
For fans, the transition is bittersweet. His presence will be missed — but the promise of seeing Foley in a completely new role has curiosity running high.
