Will Trent Season 4 Promises Emotional Fallout, Dark Humor, and Big Character Turns
If you’ve been waiting for news about Will Trent , the wait is almost over, and Season 4 is shaping up to be one of the most emotionally layered chapters of the series so far. The ABC crime drama returns on January 6, and according to the show’s creative team, things are about to get a little messy — in the best possible way.
This season, Will Trent himself is being pushed into unfamiliar territory. It’s been teased that Will will start to come undone, not just in dramatic ways, but also in moments that are surprisingly funny. As therapy continues and long-buried emotions are allowed to surface, it’s being shown that Will can no longer outrun his past by staying busy. Feelings he’s avoided for years are being stirred up, and while some of that plays out with humor and whimsy, darker behavioral shifts are also expected. This emotional unraveling is being described as one of the most exciting aspects of the season.

Meanwhile, the fallout from last season’s cliffhanger is being addressed head-on. Amanda’s shooting was not brushed aside. It has been confirmed that she survives, but the recovery is not easy, and the toll on her is both physical and professional. For a character who has always been defined by control and strength, vulnerability is now being forced into the open. Her authority is being questioned, her position is being eyed by others, and the pressure to prove herself all over again is being felt deeply.
Michael Ormewood is also facing life-altering challenges. His brain tumor and the reality of surgery and treatment are explored with honesty, showing how someone who defines himself by strength copes with sudden fragility. The ripple effects of being wounded in the line of duty are being examined through both Ormewood and Amanda, giving the season real emotional weight.
Angie Polaski’s journey takes a different but equally powerful turn. Her pregnancy is not sidelining her; instead, it’s pushing her into unexpected growth. She’s continuing to work, adapting physically and emotionally, and discovering a new confidence she never imagined for herself. Her relationship with Dr. Seth deepens as they move closer to the baby’s arrival, bringing warmth to an otherwise intense season.
Fans will also see more of Franklin, who has been elevated to a bigger role, adding humor and a fresh dynamic to investigations. And yes, Betty the chihuahua is getting her biggest spotlight yet, with glimpses into her “inner life” that reinforce her role as the emotional anchor of the show.
All signs point to Season 4 balancing high-stakes crime, emotional fallout, and just enough humor to keep Will Trent feeling sharp, human, and deeply engaging.
