‘Will Trent’ Season 4 Premiere Preview

No one, including Betty, believes Will when he claims he’s feeling “great” in the trailer for ABC’s Will Trent season four. Will can say he’s fine all he wants, but that doesn’t make it the truth. Season four, episode one, which moves the action forward five months, will air on Tuesday, January 6, 2026 at 8pm ET/PT.

“… Speaking of Sharks” Plot: Five months after the attack on the GBI, a figure from Will’s past escapes prison, forcing him to defy orders and launch a search that rips open old wounds and threatens to destroy everything he’s fought to rebuild.

Ramón Rodríguez stars as the titular character, Erika Christensen plays Angie Polaski, Iantha Richardson is Faith Mitchell, and Jake McLaughlin is Michael Ormewood. Kevin Daniels is Franklin Wilks, Sonja Sohn plays Amanda Wagner, and Bluebell returns as Betty.
