Will Trent Season 3 Breaks The Fourth Wall By Casting Popular Star As Herself
Will Trent season 3 is going to break the fourth wall by casting a popular reality star as herself in a guest role, signifying what’s next for the crime TV show. Will Trent season 2 ended on a major cliffhanger, with Will (Ramón Rodríguez) arresting Angie (Erika Christensen) after learning she covered up that Crystal (Chapel Oaks) had killed Lenny (French Stewart) back in season 1. He later left Atlanta to clear his head, signaling a major shift in dynamics for season 3 now that he’s stuck to his morals at the cost of someone he cared about.
Now, Variety has confirmed that reality TV star Ariana Madix has been cast as herself in Will Trent season 3. The Vanderpump Rules star and Love Island USA host will appear in one episode as a guest star, where she’ll be in Atlanta for work. She is also helping out in an intervention for a friend, hiring Detective Michael Ormewood (Jake McLaughlin) to work security during said intervention. It’s currently unclear how big her role will be in the episode, and what it will entail from there.
What Ariana Madix’s Guest Appearance Means For Will Trent Season 3
The Reality Star’s Appearance Could Signal An Important Episode
This isn’t the first time the reality star has acted on TV, having also made a guest appearance in the comedy The Other Two and as Melanie in Anger Management. Other acting credits include a store employee in Dads and an appearance in the Lifetime TV movie Buying Back My Daughter as Officer Karen. It’s currently unclear if Madix’s involvement in the ABC procedural will see her interact with every character in Will Trent, or if she’ll only have a small role with Ormewood at the center.
Will Trent season 3 is already anticipated to be a dramatic turn for the show, as Angie’s arrest will alter the dynamics for everyone involved in the series. This means many established characters could find themselves at odds with the special agent, no longer trusting him after how easily he had someone close to him arrested. While it’s unclear how this could tie into Madix’s guest appearance, her intervention with a friend could become a much larger, sprawling case that begins at Ormewood’s involvement.

It Could Lead To An Interesting Storyline
While it’s unclear just how involved Madix will be in her episode of Will Trent, she could become a central character in a case that brings the team back together following the main character leaving. It could also be what spurs him into returning, as the intervention becomes something bigger that takes a whole episode and requires his involvement to truly get resolved. No matter how the reality star gets involved, it seems like a key part of the show’s case lineup into the next season.
