Now that the season two finale has turned everything upside down, Will Trentit’s time to take a look at what will happen in Season 3, which returns later this year.

Although there are still relatively few details about how the story will continue after such a heartbreaking sequence of events in the abbreviated second season, we can already reveal a few details.

When will Will Trent Premiere of the 3rd season?

ABC announced that Will Trent Season 3 will arrive in fall 2024 as part of the midseason releases. This means that while fans don’t have an exact release date yet, they can expect a return later this year. Additionally, co-creators Liz Heldens and Daniel T. Thomsen told TV Insider that they will return to their writers’ room in June.

How many episodes are there in Will Trent Season 3?

Show bosses also said the series will have almost twice as many episodes as the strike-affected second season.

Thomson explained: “Well, I think the superficial difference is that we have 18 episodes this season instead of 10 in Season 2. And I’m excited for us to be able to play on a bigger chessboard next season. The whole idea for Season 2 was to create these really tightly plotted story arcs that tie together the activities of our main characters. And I think it’s fun to create some mini-arcs and take your time with things.”

What will Will Trent What is season 3 about?

If you want to watch the finale of the second season of Will Trent“Have you seen the vision?”, skip to the next subsection, because spoiler in advance!

In the season 2 finale, Will Trent (Ramón Rodríguez) discovers that it wasn’t Angie (Erika Christensen) who killed Lenny, but that she was covering for Crystal, who later became a serial killer. Her lies led to even more people dying (even though they were all decidedly bad child molesters) and she broke the law. As a result, he had Angie arrested at the end of the episode, undoing all the progress the two had made over the course of the season as a couple and as best friends throughout their lives. So what happens next?

“It’s kind of nice to throw all the pieces up in the air and find out where they’re going to land,” Heldens said of this devastating development. “We’re excited to find out what it looks like for her as he’s forced to reflect on a chapter of his life without Angie,” Thomsen added.

Her character, Marion Alba, is described as a “charismatic, confident assistant district attorney, new to Atlanta” who meets Will and is “surprised” that they have to work together to solve gang crimes. (Could this be a new romance for Will after the Angie shock?!)

What else can we look forward to in Will Trent Season 3?

While Season 3 is obviously still in the early stages of development, the cast has already expressed some things they would like to see in the next season.

Sonja Sohn, for example, told TV Insider: “I would love to see Amanda’s personal relationships explored further. I would love to know who Amanda’s ex might have been – Evelyn’s brother – and who she might be interested in in the future. I feel like everyone is in a romantic relationship right now except Amanda, so I would love to see some romantic interest develop in her and how that affects her, her tough exterior. I think when someone is given attention or their feelings, when there is love in their life, they are different. And I would love to see what happens to Amanda in a situation like that.”

Jake McLaughlin added that he hopes to see more action scenes for his character Michael Ormewood, explaining: “I like action. That’s what I like. I had a good fight scene that aired last week that I had a lot of fun choreographing. It’s a lot of fun. So that’s always – that’s more of a ticket for me. I like action, just ramping up the intensity of it all. I like keeping it moving.”
