ABC has officially renewed the procedural crime drama 'Will Trent' for a third season. The show, based on Karin Slaughter's novel series, premiered on January 3, 2023, and has garnered increasing viewership.
The series follows Ramón Rodriguez as Will Trent, a special agent with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation who navigates his past in Atlanta's foster care system to seek justice.

Alongside Rodriguez, the cast includes Erika Christensen, Iantha Richardson, Jake McLaughlin, and Sonja Sohn in key roles. The show is executive produced by Liz Heldens, Dan Thomsen, Karin Slaughter, Oly Obst, Howie Deutch, and Ramón Rodriguez.
The renewal of 'Will Trent' follows ABC's decision to extend 'Grey's Anatomy' for a record 21st season, solidifying its status as the longest-running medical drama on television. Additionally, '9-1-1' has been confirmed for an eighth season after transitioning from Fox to ABC.
