WhenWill Trentseason 4 premieres,it would be for the best if the show doesn’t replace Angie in Will’s life,although the thought is enticing. The series has often revolved around Will and Angie’s relationship. Through its ups and downs, it remains the beating heart of the show. But it seems like the romantic part of their dynamic is permanently over.
Will and Angie have had an on-and-off relationship since they were teenagers. Despite their various breakups, they always believed they would end up together someday, perhaps once they had healed from their previous traumas. AfterWill Trentseason 2’s ending, though, that dream became all but unattainable, meaningWill and Angie must find other people to achieve their happily ever after.
Will Has To Move On From Angie Following The Season 3 Finale
Angie Is Having A Baby With Seth
In the wake oftheWill Trentseason 3 finale, Angie is in a great place. She learned that she was pregnant in the season’s penultimate episode. And even though she was terrified of being a mother at first (and probably still is),Angie is now over the moon to be having a baby with her boyfriend, Seth.
However, while Angie and Seth were gushing over their baby’s ultrasound, Will looked on in despair.
After believing she had a miscarriage and taking on terrorists, Angie decided to keep the baby, andtheWill Trentseason 3 finale ended with her and Seth basking in their newfound happiness.However, while Angie and Seth were gushing over their baby’s ultrasound, Will looked on in despair. He thought that would be him with Angie, not Seth.
Will has to come to terms with Angie starting a family with a man who isn’t him,and that’s obviously breaking his heart. Anyone could tell that he was completely devastated. As such, Will now needs to officially move on from his relationship with Angie, but that doesn’t mean he should replace herwhenWill Trentseason 4 comes around.
Will Trent Needs To Stay Single To Properly Heal
Will Has Never Stayed Single For 1 Whole Season

Will needs time to heal before jumping into another serious relationship.Once he accepts the reality of him andAngie not ending up together inWill Trent, then he can look ahead to his future, while Angie carves out her own with Seth. Will and Angie deserve happiness, and that won’t happen if they’re together. They’re just too toxic for each other.
Will also shouldn’t start looking for his Angie replacement right away because he just found his biological father, Sheriff Caleb Roussard, atthe end ofWill Trentseason 3. Theupcoming episodes should focus on building the relationship between Will and Caleb.Exploring their dynamic would be much more interesting than Will getting a new love interest.
ABC Can Introduce Will Trent’s True Endgame From The Books In Season 5
Sara Linton Is Coming 1 Way Or Another
Yes, many fans are anxiously awaiting Sara Linton’s arrival in the ABC show. However, for all the reasons mentioned above, the writers should wait until season 5 to introduce her. For those who don’t know, Sara is one ofWill’s major love interests in theWill Trentbook series. Aside from Angie,Sara is Will’s most memorable significant other in the novels.
Will isn’t ready for a steady, new girlfriend, and his relationship with Sara is simply too precious to get wrong.
Sara is a doctor with a traumatic past, just like Will (well, the traumatic past part). However, in spite of their baggage,Will and Sara’s relationship is regarded as one of the healthiest in Karin Slaughter’s book series.I won’t spoil too much about Sara’s story, but it’s seemingly only a matter of time beforeWill Trent(the TV show) adapts it.
Will Trentintroducing Sara into Will’s life is inevitable. That doesn’t mean it has to happen in season 4, though. The ABC police procedural is thriving, and it would be quite shocking if its success were to turn around anytime soon. Consequently,Will Trentwill likely still be around for a fifth season,and that’s when the writers can bring in Sara.
Will Trentseason 4 premieres in early 2026 on ABC. It will consist of 18 episodes, all of which are expected to air weekly with minimal interruptions barring any special presentations, like presidential addresses (according toTVLine).
Sara’s arrival in season 4 would be too soon, given how the season 3 finale played out. Will isn’t ready for a steady, new girlfriend, and his relationship with Sara is simply too precious to get wrong. MaybeWill Trentseason 4can tease Sara’s eventual appearance, or she can arrive in the finale, but anything other than that would be foolish.
