Will Trent Season 3: Where Did Will Go After the Shocking Finale?
Will Trent co-director Daniel Thomsen talks about where Will went after his big decisions in the season 2 finale. Will Trent season 2 ended with the titular character arresting Angie after learning she had tampered with evidence and made false statements to prevent Crystal from participating in the murder of Lenny Broussard. After handcuffing his longtime girlfriend, Will left for an unknown location. This left the other characters wondering where he went, only to learn that he had his dog Betty with him.
Speaking to TVLine, Thomsen hinted at where Will might have gone after the Will Trent season 2 finale. While the co-director didn’t give a definitive answer about his whereabouts—that’s still undecided—he did say that going to Puerto Rico to meet Antonio is still a possibility. Check out what Thomsen had to say below: I mean, we definitely have a choice. No decision has been made yet, but if you were to rank the places Will would want to go, this would definitely be one of them.
Will was never told where he was going at the end of season 2, only that he needed to get out of Atlanta until he could come to his senses about what he had done. The agent has been going through some tough times lately, with Will Trent season 2 revealing his backstory and why he felt responsible for his mother’s death. Angie’s false testimony seems to have been the final straw for him, leading him to decide to take her before fleeing town. This shows his dark mental state, which may have influenced where he ended up.
Puerto Rico seems like the most likely place Will could go, especially since he’s grown close to Antonio since the pair found each other in season 2. He may want to see a friend after everything that’s happened, maybe even get some advice on what to do next. However, it’s also possible that he wants to be alone, after pushing Angie away with his big decision. While talking to someone might be helpful, self-reflection might be what he needs more after what he’s done.
Wherever Will ends up, it’s sure to have a big impact on his mental state in Will Trent season 3. Since he’ll definitely be back by the time the events of next season begin, his whereabouts could be a major mystery for the series to explore in the future. Regardless of where he ends up, though, it will give him time to think about his actions, to contemplate what kind of GBI agent he wants to be in the future.
