Season 3's "Will Trent" ended with several major cliffhangers that would form the core of Season 4's story.

One of them was the fate of Amanda Wagner, who was shot in the chest during a shootout with members of the Founders Front.

She was rushed to the hospital in critical condition and unconscious at the end of the season, leaving her fate uncertain, with Will Trent by her side.

Michael Ormewood also ended season 3 with a seizure on his kitchen floor, having previously been unable to schedule a CT scan at the VA.

He was revealed to have a brain tumor, adding to the list of uncertainties.

Meanwhile, Angie Polaski learned she was pregnant with Seth McDale's baby, not Will's.

She decided to keep the baby, and Will was present when Angie heard the baby's heartbeat, but then left when Seth arrived, realizing Angie was starting a new life without him.

The biggest revelation was Will finally learning that his biological father was Sheriff Caleb Roussard.

Caleb, unaware of Will's mother's pregnancy, invited Will to dinner with his family, which Will accepted.

This opens up the potential for a father-son relationship to develop in Season 4.

Season 3 also centers on the bioterrorism attack by the Founders Front group in Atlanta, which involved the entire GBI team.

Season 4 of "Will Trent" is scheduled to premiere on Tuesday, January 6, 2026, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

Viewers in the United States can watch the first episode, titled "...Speaking of Sharks," live.

For viewers who prefer streaming, the season four premiere will be available on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, on Hulu.

The fourth season will consist of 18 episodes, promising a long and immersive storyline for loyal fans.

"Will Trent" is an American police procedural drama series developed by Liz Heldens and Daniel T. Thomsen, based on the popular novel series by Karin Slaughter.

The series centers on Will Trent, a GBI special agent played by Ramón Rodríguez.

He is known for his uncanny ability to solve complex crimes, even when faced with his dyslexia.

Will Trent's character comes from a challenging background, having been abandoned at birth and spent his teenage years in Atlanta's harsh foster care system.

The fourth season of "Will Trent" will see the return of Ramón Rodríguez as Will Trent, the main character at the heart of the series.

However, the fate of several other characters remains a major question after the suspenseful ending of season three.

Erika Christensen is expected to reprise her role as Angie Polaski, although her decision to keep her baby in season 3 left her uncertain.

Iantha Richardson will also return as Faith Mitchell, Will's loyal co-worker, and they will likely continue working together in season 4.

Meanwhile, the fates of Sonja Sohn as Amanda Wagner, Will and Faith's boss, and Jake McLaughlin as Michael Ormewood, Angie's co-worker, remain uncertain following the near-death incident at the end of season 3.

The presence of these key actors is crucial to continuing the complex narrative and the established relationships between the characters.
