Just like for many other trending shows, this May marks the end for Will Trent’s season 2 with more coming in the show’s way in the third season, and so far it seems like the detective’s figure has never looked better on TV.
Season 2 finale proved that Will Trent’s titular character still sticks to his professional values that he’s always considered much more important than anything else, no matter how hard it may hit him when it comes to his personal feelings.
The second season’s ending finds Will Trent in quite an entangled situation. In the most intense scene he finds out that his hop-on/hop-off love interest Angie Polaski is involved in a fraud after giving false testimony to save troubled teenager Crystal from being accused in the murder of Lenny Broussard, Angie’s former foster parent.

ABC has made it a priority this season to turn sophomore series “Will Trent” into an established hit — and so far the strategy seems to be working. The drama’s Season 2 premiere already posted one of the Alphabet net’s most-watched scripted drama episodes among live+same day total viewers in years, at 4.77 million.
Now, after three days of viewing on ABC, Hulu and digital platforms, “Will Trent” has grown by nearly 3 million viewers, to 7.68 million. And its adults 18-49 average is up 142%, from 0.33 to 0.8.
Network execs attribute the growth to an extended plan to expose the show to audiences on multiple platforms and in various time slots. Buoyed by the show’s early signs of success in Season 1, ABC developed an awareness campaign to capitalize on that. This past summer, ABC aired reruns of “Will Trent” Season 1 on Friday nights to court the “20/20” audiences on that night. The...

It's challenging to find that balance when doing a book-to-screen adaptation. While Will Trent Season 1 excelled at it, they've found an even better stride in Season 2.
We barely scratched the surface of getting to know the main characters in Will Trent Season 1.
In contrast, interpersonal connections and messy family dynamics have taken center stage in Will Trent Season 2, interwoven with an unfolding mystery about Will's past.
Delving into these characters' rich histories makes us care about them, and many fans appreciate it if it follows the novels' storylines.
Ever since James Ulster arrived on the scene on Will Trent Season 1 Episode 12, he's been a thorn in the Gbi's side. He's appeared charming while he murdered innocent women or played mind games with Will.
Even though James is a monster, he values family. Would his mind games include murdering an agent so his son would visit him in prison?
That's a tough one.
