Today, ABC released the official Will Trent trailer on social media, providing a first look at the upcoming crime procedural series. The trailer depicts a typical day in the life of a not-so-average crime scene investigator.

Will Trent Synopsis

The new series follows Will Trent, which should be clear based on the title. Will works with the Georgia Bureau of Investigations as a special agent. He grows up in the harsh realities of the world after being abandoned at birth. He understands what life can do to people, but rather than a life of crime, he is dedicated to making the world a better place.

He struggles to become a special agent after going through the foster care system in Atlanta. He actually has the highest clearance rate in the GBI, which is in part a result of his distinctive worldview. He doesn't want anyone else to experience the same kind of abandonment that he had.

Will will be involved in a case that appears to be a routine homicide later in the season. But new information emerges that changes the course of the investigation.

What To Expect From Will Trent

Will Trent, which stars Ramón Rodriguez as the titular character, also stars Erika Christensen as Trent's love interest, Angie Polaski, with whom he grew up in foster care. Jake McLaughlin from Quantico also appears as seasoned detective Michael Ormewood. Both characters appeared in the books, and Jennifer Morrison makes her television return in the series as Abigail Campano, the murder victim's mother. Each episode will last one hour.

The Will Trent trailer gives viewers a perfect look at the film's lead character, who starts each day by saving an abandoned dog rather than turning it into a shelter. The fashion-savvy crime scene prodigy is then asked to look into the killing of a teenage girl. Deputy director Amanda Wagner pairs him up with newcomer Faith Mitchell (Iantha Richardson) (Sonja Sohn).

Trent does not have a perfect reputation; the words "traitor," "snitch," and "rat" were spray-painted on his automobile, showing that he has some detractors. When an investigator remarks to Trent, "look at you with your three-piece suit, like every day's your wedding day." it serves as further evidence of his lonesome nature.

Despite his brilliance, not everyone seems to be a great fan.

Will Trent Release Date

The Will Trent series consists of 10 novels, beginning with Triptych in 2006. The show clearly has a lot of content to cover and follows a timetable similar to the novels. To keep Karin Slaughter fans on edge, the series is expected to have a decent bit of humor and action, as well as mystery and suspense.
