The bad news is, we\u2019ll have to wait quite a while for the third season of Will Trent<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The show is set to return midseason, which means fans will have to wait until very<\/em> late 2024 or even early 2025 for more of their favorite special agent and his chihuahua companion.<\/p>\n

But the good news is that that patience is sure be rewarded, thanks to a major addition to what is already one of the most talented and likable casts on TV.<\/p>\n

Deadline<\/a> is reporting today that Gina Rodriguez (no relation to titular star Ramon Rodriguez) will be joining the cast as a series regular.<\/p>\n

Gina previously charmed audiences as the lead in Jane the Virgin<\/a> and the sadly short-lived Not Dead Yet<\/a>, which was canceled in May after two seasons on ABC.<\/p>\n

According to Deadline, Rodriguez will \u201cportray Marion Alba, a charismatic, confident Assistant District Attorney new to Atlanta.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the classic style of lighthearted procedurals, circumstances will force the two to work together despite their initial dislike of one another.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter her first encounter with Will falls flat, the pair is surprised to learn that they must work together to investigate a crime in the world of Atlanta gangs,\u201d the report continues.<\/p>\n

Will, of course, already has a complex relationship with Angie (Erika Christensen), so could the addition of Rodriguez lead to a love triangle situation?<\/p>\n

It might all feel a little too familiar, too trope-y on other shows, but thus far, Will Trent has done a fine job of upending our expectations and offering something different.<\/p>\n

In a TV landscape that\u2019s not exactly overflowing with originality<\/a>, Trent, in its first two seasons has been a welcome breath of fresh air.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s one reason why the news of the show\u2019s extra-long hiatus was greeted with a collective exasperated sigh from viewers.<\/p>\n

But hey \u2014 if showrunners Karin Slaughter, Liz Heldens, and Daniel T. Thompson are gonna use this as an opportunity to further hone the edges of ABC\u2019s sharpest show, we\u2019re fine with it.<\/p>\n

The addition of Gina Rodriguez is an excellent sign \u2014 an indication that both producers and network are going all-in on the task of making Will Trent Season 3<\/a> the show\u2019s strongest outing yet.<\/p>\n

What do you think, TV fanatics?<\/p>\n
