Fans of Will Trent can breathe a sigh of relief: the hit crime drama is officially coming back for a fifth season, but it won't be arriving until 2027. ABC has slotted the show for its midseason lineup that year, meaning viewers will have to wait a bit longer than usual to catch up with the brilliant, quirky GBI agent.
The show, starring Ramón Rodríguez, has become a staple for procedural lovers since its debut in 2023. With its blend of character-driven storytelling and gripping cases, it has carved out a loyal following. The upcoming season has already wrapped filming, so the delay isn't due to production issues—it's just a scheduling decision by the network.
While an exact premiere date hasn't been announced, the pattern from previous seasons suggests a spring or early summer launch is likely. Season 4, for instance, premiered in the first half of the year, so fans can probably expect something similar for Season 5.
Where to Watch Will Trent Now
If you're new to the series or want to rewatch before the new season, you're in luck. All four seasons are currently streaming on Netflix, where they've quickly climbed into the top 10 most-watched titles. That's a testament to the show's growing popularity, especially among fans of legal thrillers like The Lincoln Lawyer.
In the U.S., you can also catch every episode on Hulu, which carries ABC's library. For international viewers, Disney Plus is the go-to destination for all four seasons. There's been talk of a potential merger between Hulu and Disney Plus in the near future, but no official timeline has been given yet.
