Will Trent is based on the novel series by Karin Slaughter and follows the titular character, portrayed by Ramón Rodríguez, who was abandoned as a child and grew up in the Atlanta foster care system.

Additional cast includes Iantha Richardson, Jake McLaughlin, and Sonja Sohn. Recurring cast members include Jennifer Morrison, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Greg Germann, and LisaGay Hamilton.
Cast as a guest star, Fear the Walking Dead's Elfman appeared in the fifth episode of the season as the new director of the (GBI), Edie Reynolds, who is described as "a formidable, take-charge, no-nonsense, decisive, by-the-book leader without being unfeeling."

Will Trent airs new episodes on Tuesdays on ABC at 8 p.m. ET and the next day on Hulu.
