Will Trent

Will Trent is an American police procedural crime drama television series based on Karin Slaughter's Will Trent series of novels. The series premiered on January 3, 2023, on ABC. In April 2023, the series was renewed for a second season. Premise Will Trent was found abandoned as a child, and had to grow up in the Atlanta foster care system, which has had a lasting effect on him. Despite being dyslexic, he has become a Special Agent in the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI). Trent is highly observant, solving the highest proportion of cases in the GBI, which causes some envy. Trent had been assigned a corruption case involving the Atlanta Police Department, which shares an office building with the GBI. Solving it resulted in the arrest of several APD officers. His boss at the GBI, Amanda Wagner, assigns Faith Mitchell, the disgruntled daughter of an arrested APD officer, temporary GBI status as Trent's partner. He is in an on-again off-again relationship with his childhood friend from the foster care system, APD Homicide Detective Angie Polaski, who is partnered with Detective Michael Ormewood. Trent and Polaski's cases sometimes overlap, bringing the two and their partners into ongoing contact.
