‘Will Trent’ Creators Break Down That Shocking Finale Cliffhanger, Tease Season 4


'Will Trent' creators Liz Heldens and Daniel Thomsen on the Season 3 finale cliffhanger: Will Amanda and Ormewood survive? What about Angie's pregnancy?

After Will’s dog sitter Nico (Cora Lu Tran) began to fall ill at a hospital, Will and Caleb went to investigate the encampment of a deceased homeless man, and they discovered that plastic takeout containers in the area had been deliberately contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, a toxic bacteria that attacks the central nervous system. Ormewood (Jake McLaughlin), Faith (Iantha Richardson) and Franklin (Kevin Daniels) were tasked with escorting the first batch of CDC-approved antitoxin from a warehouse to the hospital, but a corrupt cop, who was part of the Founder’s Front, led them directly into an ambush in an area without a GPS or radio signal. As they prepare to reopen the writers’ room for Season 4, which will premiere in early 2026, Heldens and Thomsen break down those two emotional cliffhangers, what Angie’s pregnancy with Dr. Seth McDale (Scott Foley) will mean for her future with Will — and why they have chosen to introduce a brand new character as Will’s father but not a pivotal one from executive producer Karin Slaughter’s novels.
