Why you won’t see a new episode of ‘Will Trent’ this week.

It’s a bye week for some of your favorite ABC procedurals, and Will Trent is no exception.

On Tuesday, April 23, instead of a new episode of the riveting detective show, the network will air a rerun in its usual 8/7c timeslot.

At that time, fans can revisit March 26’s Season 2 Episode 4, “It’s Easier to Handcuff a Human Being,” which centers on Will (Ramón Rodríguez) and Faith’s (Iantha Richardson) investigation of the “Boo Hag,” an apparent supernatural suspect in a multiple homicide case involving camping teens.

It’s the second consecutive week Will Trent has been on a break; last week, on April 16, ABC reaired March 5’s Season 2 Episode 3, “You Don’t Have to Understand,” which centered on the investigation of a suspicious pastor and an attempt to save a pregnant woman from a killer.

Fans will finally get a new episode of Will Trent on Tuesday, April 30, titled “Have You Never Been to a Wedding?” The preview (embedded above) indicates that Will and Faith will get very gussied up for a fancy nuptial celebration that goes completely off the rails once it’s held up by masked gunmen dressed as caterers. With Will caught by these assailants, it looks like Faith’ll be the one to have to save the day. The only problem is that she thought the event would be all about “peace” and insisted they go unarmed. Whoops!

Ahead of its most recent episode, “We Are Family,” Will Trent was renewed for a third season at ABC after boasting strong ratings in its ongoing second season.

Also airing reruns this week on ABC are The View and The Rookie, while The Good Doctor is preempted by a new special edition of 20/20, and 9-1-1 is preempted by the 2024 NFL Draft.
