Sat Dec 07 18:50:00 UTC 2024: ## Will Trent Returns to ABC in Season 3 with a Time Jump and New Faces
**New York, NY** – ABC’s crime procedural, *Will Trent*, is set to return for its third season on January 7th, with a significant time jump and several exciting developments. The season premiere will pick up seven months after the events of the season finale, finding the titular character, played by Ramón Rodríguez, having left town and sporting a noticeably different look – unshaven and ditching his usual three-piece suits.
The new season opens with two off-duty cops injured, leading the GBI to hunt for Will, who is revealed to be undercover, involved in a case that delves into his past. Meanwhile, Angie (Erika Christensen), despite her previous arrest for tampering with evidence, is back on the job.
Season 3 will introduce new series regular Gina Rodriguez (*Jane the Virgin*) as Assistant District Attorney Marion Alba, and Scott Foley (*Scandal*) as Angie’s new romantic interest, Dr. Seth McDale. Ramón Rodríguez directed the first half of the two-part premiere.
Fans are already speculating about the direction of the season, particularly regarding the absence of a character featured prominently in the books the show is based on. While the show has diverged from its source material, viewers remain eager to see how the story unfolds. The teaser trailer hints at a compelling and action-packed season ahead.
