When ABC announced that Will Trent season 3 would be held for the midseason, it came with the news that it would have 18 episodes. That would mean minimal breaks.
I always said that looking at an early January start would mean that there would need to be at least one one-week break. That would be the only way to get 18 episodes to run to the middle of May, which is traditionally when the finales air.
Well, here we are. There’s a break coming up, and here’s everything you need to know.
Will Trent will air a rerun on Tuesday, March 4.
The first Tuesday in March will not see a new episode of Will Trent air. In fact, the majority of shows are taking a night off that night. We can thank politics for this.
The Big 4 networks will air news specials for the Presidential Address to the Joint Session of Congress. That starts at 9 p.m., and while it could allow for 8 p.m. shows to air, not all networks are going to both. ABC won’t want to air a new episode of Will Trent and then have it an episode off compared to The Rookie. It works best with those two shows running back-to-back.
So, ABC is airing a rerun of Will Trent on Tuesday, March 4. We are heading back to a powerful episode that focused on Faith. It’s all about the fifth hour of this season, which saw Evelyn Mitchell caught up in a situation. Faith had to figure out what happened to her mom before it was too late, bringing up a lot of memories from the past and some complicated feelings for both women.
When will Will Trent return with new episodes?
In some good news, the break isn’t that long. ABC made it clear that the series would return on Tuesday, March 11. It’s just a one-week break, as I expected when it came to the premiere date for the season.
Will and Faith will need to tackle a high-profile murder. A famous rapper has been killed, and it means a lot of secrets to uncover to get to the bottom of the situation. Meanwhile, Angie and Ormewood are heading to a swinger’s club for their investigation.
