ABC’s police procedural drama Will Trent has officially been renewed for a third season. Starring Ramón Rodríguez in the title role, the adaptation of Karin Slaughter’s book series follows a gifted and dyslexic investigator who uses his skills to ensure no one else has to go through the same harsh upbringing he did in Atlanta’s flawed foster care system. Following the success of season 1, ABC renewed the show for season 2, which has now run for five episodes.
Now, according to Variety, Will Trent season 3 has been officially confirmed. The confirmation comes after the show began to receive more positive reviews and viewership than its first season. ABC also recently confirmed that the show aired its highest-rated episode ever, with over 9 million multi-platform viewers in seven days.
Since Will Trent first aired on ABC in early 2023, the show has quickly won over critics and audiences alike, who have praised the show for the many dark and sometimes complex themes it explores. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, Will Trent season 1 boasts an 89% approval rating, and given the show’s solid numbers, it’s highly likely that Will Trent will return for season 3. Since the crime drama has only been on the air for a few seasons, it’s likely that the main cast from seasons 1 and 2 will all return for season 3… Police procedural shows of this type often excel with compelling enough plot arcs and well-developed characters that audiences will grow to love over time. For this reason, since the crime drama has only been on the air for a few seasons, it is very likely that the main cast from seasons 1 and 2 will all return for season 3, unless there are any unexpected changes in the ongoing Will Trent season 2. As for the plot of Will Trent season 3, it is difficult to predict what will happen in the upcoming season since the ongoing season has only 5 episodes. The shocking ending of Will Trent season 2 episode 1 suggests that the show may have more unexpected twists, which makes it even harder to predict. Regardless, the main character continues to learn about his family history while still dealing with past trauma in the current season, and it is very likely that these developments will continue in the upcoming season.
