Will Trent – ABC’s royal crime drama – is entering the pre-production stage for season 4 with much speculation about the cast. After a dramatic season 3 with twists that left viewers “frozen”, information about 2 stars potentially leaving, along with a series of familiar faces likely to return, is causing a whirlwind of discussion among the fan community.
Two main actors may leave ‘Will Trent’ season 4
After season 3 ended, many fans noticed signs that Erika Christensen (as Angie Polaski) and Sonja Sohn (as Amanda Wagner) may not continue to accompany the project long-term.
Erika Christensen has repeatedly shared about her personal plans and the possibility of temporarily reducing her filming schedule to prioritize her family. Meanwhile, Sonja Sohn has repeatedly hinted that Amanda Wagner has returned for a full character arc, especially after the tragic events that occurred at the end of season 3.
While there has been no official announcement from ABC, some inside sources have revealed that the producers are considering adjusting the cast, aiming to open up a new direction, focusing more on the younger characters or expanding the world of “Will Trent”.
The mirrors are definitely or almost definitely returning
However, fans can rest assured that Ramón Rodríguez (Will Trent) is still the soul of the show and will definitely return. He once affirmed in a recent interview:
“I still have a lot to explore with Will, especially what he will go through after the shock at the end of season 3.”
Additionally, Iantha Richardson (Faith Mitchell) and Jake McLaughlin (Michael Ormewood) are almost certain to continue appearing, as both characters have important storylines that are still unfinished.
In addition, Erika Christensen also supports the possibility of expanding the appearance in a few episodes to complete the Angie Polaski action process further, if the result is really disjointed.
Why does ‘Will Trent’ need a “remake” of the cast?
Part of the appeal of Will Trent comes from the ability to develop deep, multi-dimensional characters. Using some new objects and presenting more convex faces can help the show avoid wear and tear, while not creating a cheat to build up unexpected details.
ABC is moving towards the goal of keeping the audience in the middle while expanding a new fantasy block. The cast is updated, the young additions are added, and new relationships are built, promising to help “Will Trent” maintain its appeal as it enters its fourth season.
Big questions await answers
Is Amanda Wagner really doomed to fail in the Season 3 finale?
What will happen to Angie Polaski and her baby?
Will Faith Mitchell take over as leader of any team?
Who will replace her if a regular character leaves?
All possible answers will become increasingly apparent as ABC announces the final cast list in the coming months.
