Will Trent Season 3 introduces incredible newcomers to its star-studded cast, bringing in Jane the Virgin star Gina Rodriguez and Scandal alum Scott Foley.
The hit ABC series' new season reveals the ramifications of Season 2's cliffhanger ending after the titular special agent decides to go off the grid after arresting the love of his life, Angie, for tampering with evidence.
In the new season, Will returns after Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) deputy director Amanda Wagner brings him back after revealing that the current case they are working on is tied to his past.
Will Trent Season 3 premiered on ABC on January 7.
Will Trent Season 3 Cast: Every Main Actor Who Appears
Ramón Rodríguez - Will Trent
Ramón Rodríguez returns to headline the cast of Will Trent Season 3.
Will is a special agent working for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) who is known for being dyslexic instead of being on the autism spectrum (read more about Will Trent's disabilities).
At the end of Season 2, Will made a game-changing yet heartbreaking move by arresting his on-again/off-again love interest, Angie Polaski, for tampering with evidence and making false statements related to Lenny's case since she protected Crystal.
While he did the right thing, Will is clearly heartbroken. He left everything behind because he couldn't fathom what he had done to Angie.
Still, he returned to the GBI just in time in Season 3's premiere after his past came back to haunt him.
In an interview with TV Insider ahead of Season 3, Rodríguez teased what Will and Angie's reunion will be like in the new episodes, noting that "it's not an easy thing:"
"It’s really, really rough in the first several episodes, and once Will and Angie finally do get to be face to face, it’s not an easy thing. They both have their reasons for being upset at each other, and Will has his reasons of why he did what he did, and so it’s really complicated, and hopefully audiences will be happy."
Rodríguez is best known for his roles in The Affair, The One and Only Ivan, and Need for Speed.

Erika Christensen - Angie Polaski
Erika Christensen returns as Angie Polaski, a detective from the Atlanta Police Department who gets arrested by Will in the Season 2 finale after she lies about the circumstances surrounding the death of her abuser, Lenny.

This comes after some concern from fans that Erika Christensen might be exiting Will Trent after her character was arrested.
Polaski previously appeared in To Have and to Hold, Ten Days in the Valley, and Cheaper by the Dozen.
