Now that the Season 2 finale has flipped everything on its head on Will Trent, it’s time to look forward what will happen in Season 3, which is coming back later this year.
Though details are still somewhat slim about how the story will continue after such a heartbreaking sequence of events in the abbreviated second season, we do have a few details to share already.
When will Will Trent Season 3 premiere?
ABC announced that Will Trent Season 3 will be part of its midseason releases during the fall of 2024. This means that while it does not have an exact release date just yet, fans can expect it to return later this year. Plus, co-creators Liz Heldens and Daniel T. Thomsen told TV Insider they’ll be returning to their writers’ room this June.
How many episodes will be in Will Trent Season 3?
The show bosses also explained that the series will feature almost twice as many episodes as the strike-affected Season 2.
Thomson explained, “Well I think that what’s going to be different on a very surface level is we have 18 episodes this season instead of 10 in Season 2. And so what I’m looking forward to is that’s going to let us kind of play on a bigger chessboard next season. The whole idea for Season 2 was to make these really tightly plotted arcs, weaving together what our main characters were doing. And I think it is fun to kind of do some mini-arcs and take time with things.”
What will Will Trent Season 3 be about?
Will Needs A New Love Interest After Angie’s Arrest
ABC hasn’t confirmed Marion’s relationship with Will in Will Trent season 3, aside from teasing their first meeting. However, I believe she will be Will’s love interest (if Ramón Rodríguez and Gina Rodriguez have chemistry). Cricket is dead, and Angie is in jail. He will finally have to move on from Angie and accept that they aren’t meant to be together, and that’s when Marion enters the picture.
ABC has delayed the Will Trent season 3 premiere to early 2025 (an exact release date has not been announced as of the writing of this article).
Will and Marion might not become a couple at first, as he will undoubtedly still be reeling from Angie’s arrest. But I believe it’s only a matter of time before they start dating. Ultimately, the hope is that Will and Marion have great chemistry, Marion doesn’t die, and she will be Will’s new love interest in Will Trent season 3.
