Big Changes for Will and Angie in ‘Will Trent’ Season 3

Here’s everything you need to know about Season 3 of the crime drama centering on Special Agent Will Trent.

Supersleuth Will Trent (Ramón Rodriguez) returns for a third season of crime solving on the hit ABC series based on Karin Slaughter’s New York Times bestselling book series. Will, who was abandoned at birth and endured a harsh coming-of-age in Atlanta’s overwhelmed foster care system, has turned his dyslexia into a superpower as he developed an inordinate ability to read crimes scenes, resulting in the highest clearance rate in the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI).

His personal life is not as on track and as Season 3 premieres, he will have to deal with the aftermath of having arrested his girlfriend and former foster care survivor Angie Polaski (Erika Christensen) in the Season 2 finale, but there’s a potential new love interest in town for Will when Gina Rodriguez joins the cast.

Ramón Rodriguez as Will Trent

Will, whose trademark is 3-piece suits, is assigned some of the GBI’s most difficult cases because he can read a crime scene like no one else, a skill he has learned to help cope with his dyslexia after being abandoned at birth and raised in the harshness of Atlanta’s foster care system.

Erika Christensen as Angie Polaski

Like Will, Angie was raised in the foster care system and like him, she is in law enforcement, but she’s a member of the Atlanta Police Department. Angie is also her own worst enemy when it comes to her personal life.

Ormewood is a veteran detective and Angie’s partner on the APD Homicide division. He is the father of two and is facing serious problems with his marriage.
