Who’s in the Will Trent cast for Season 4?
Ramón Rodriguez as Will Trent
Will, whose trademark is 3-piece suits, continues to be assigned some of the GBI’s most difficult cases because he can read a crime scene like no one else, a skill he has learned to help cope with his dyslexia after being abandoned at birth and raised in the harshness of Atlanta’s foster care system. But Will has loosened up a bit since we first saw him in Season 1. He now owns his dyslexia and has programs to help him with workarounds.
Erika Christensen as Angie Polaski
Like Will, Angie was raised in the foster care system and like him, she is in law enforcement, but she’s a member of the Atlanta Police Department. Angie is also her own worst enemy when it comes to her personal life. In Season 4, she is pregnant with her first child.
Iantha Richardson as Faith Mitchell
Faith is a former member of the Atlanta Police Department, who was brought over to the GBI by her godmother Amanda Wagner to work with Will. She and Will got off to a rocky start, but they have found a groove that enables them to have one of the highest solve rates.
Sonja Sohn as Amanda Wagner
Amanda is Will’s boss at the GBI and the police officer who saved his life when he was discarded as a baby. Now that Will knows that it was Amanda who saved him, he has come to think of her as family even though they still keep up a business relationship. Sohn’s return for Season 4 isn’t guaranteed as she was shot and fighting for her life in the Season 3 finale, but it’s hard to imagine the GBI without Amanda. Expect her to be back.
Jake McLaughlin as Michael Ormewood
Ormewood is a veteran detective and Angie’s partner on the APD Homicide division. He is the father of two, who has been diagnosed with a brain tumor, which may be responsible for his collapse at the end of Season 3.
Bluebell as Betty
Betty is the Chihuahua that Will adopted in the pilot episode because he couldn’t abandon her as he had been abandoned as a baby. Betty has become a member of Will’s family.

It is unknown at this time if Gina Rodriguez will return to her role as DA Marion Alba, who was also a love interest of Will.
