ABC’sWill Trentis taking a break, meaning the network won’t release a new episode of season 3 on Tuesday, March 4, during its normal timeslot. However,fans don’t have to wait too long for the next episode.Will Trentand its main characters— Will Trent, Faith Mitchell, Angie Polaski, Michael Ormewood, and Amanda Wagner — will return to the small screen soon, with new cases, fresh drama, and more surprising twists as the police procedural TV series heads into the back half of season 3.
DuringWill Trentseason 3’s first eight episodes, Amanda promised to look after Sunny, Rafael Wexford’s (a gang leader who also happens to be Will’s childhood friend) daughter, to protect her from her father’s enemies. Additionally, Faith and her mother made amends after the older woman was kidnapped, and Faith moved in with Ormewood.
InWill Trentseason 3, episode 8, Will and Faith investigated a child trafficking case close to home for Ramón Rodríguez’s character. Elsewhere, Ormewood worked as personal security for Ariana Madix (whom he shared palpable chemistry with) to make extra money to afford his custody battle with his soon-to-be ex-wife over their two children.Will Trentseason 3 also debuted Angie’s love interest, Scott Foley’s Dr. Seth McDale. So, heading into the season’s second half,the most important development to remember is that Will and Angie are moving on from each other(Will with Gina Rodriguez’s Marion Alba and Angie with Seth).
Why There Is No New Will Trent Season 3 Tonight (August 01, 2025)
The ABC Series Is Going On A Short Hiatus
Unfortunately,Will Trentseason 3isn’t new tonight, March 4. As many network TV shows do, the ABC crime drama is taking a short hiatus in the middle of its third season.The most likely explanations forWill Trent’s break are to allow production to catch up with season 3’s release scheduleor to ensure that the episodes are spread out between January and the end of May (when most network TV series end). If there were no breaks,Will Trentseason 3 (which contains 18 episodes) would air its finale during the first week of May 2025.

The other good news is thatWill Trentseason 3, episode 10, “Regarding the Death of Whitney McAdams,” premieres one week after episode 9.As a result, the two-week hiatus between episodes 8 and 9 could be the only break the series takes all season.
