‘Polarizing’: Will Trent Season 2 Finale Ending Revealed by Angie Star
Will Trent actor Erika Christensen, who plays Detective Angie Polaski, has teased that the season 2 finale will be divisive for viewers. The series follows Special Agent Will Trent (Ramón Rodríguez), who grew up in Atlanta’s foster care system and boasts the highest clearance rate of any agent in the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Episode 9 of season 2, “Residente o Visitante,” sees Will return from visiting his uncle in Puerto Rico to investigate a series of murders targeting convicted child predators. While Will Trent season 3 has been renewed, the season 2 finale will air on May 21, 2024. Speaking to TV Insider at the Disney Upfronts presentation, Christensen teased that the season 2 finale will be deeply divisive for many viewers. The actor also reflected on the future of the show and how the writers plan to move the story forward after the season 2 finale. Read her full comment below: “Honestly, I think it’s going to be very divisive. I think some people are really going to love it and feel vindicated and feel really good about it. But I think a lot of people are going to be very upset. I hope we find ourselves in a completely new world. But the writers are really good at taking everything that we’ve established so far and really staying true to these characters in this world that’s going to move forward from this ending.”
One of the key plot points could also come from the reveal of Will Trent’s storyline in season 2, as he tries to come to terms with the childhood trauma that he had been repressing.
While it’s unclear how the season 2 finale will end, there are a few key points the show could touch on before moving on to the next season. 3. The discovery of the killer’s identity will be an ongoing investigation for the team. This could be a major reveal in the finale, with the trailer for the episode suggesting that the killer could be a woman. Will and Angie’s relationship status could be another major point of contention that the finale could choose to explore, something that has become more serious this season.
One of the major plot points could also come from the reveal of Will Trent’s backstory in season 2, as he tries to come to terms with the childhood trauma he had been repressing. As a child, Will tried to protect his adoptive mother Anna from his abusive adoptive father Jack, which led to Jack nearly beating Will to death before killing Anna. Dealing with this trauma will certainly have a profound impact on Will and his ability to do his job effectively, which could provide a major plot point for the end of season 2 and the beginning of season 3. It’s unknown whether the season 2 finale will end on a cliffhanger, but the caveat risks turning off viewers when the show returns for season 3. It’s been confirmed that the show won’t be returning until mid-season in 2025, so this could also lead to a loss of viewership if the finale is too controversial. Will Trent is a show that could become a long-term hit for ABC, so the reception to the season 2 finale will be the first indicator of how well the show can do in the future.
