Great news for fans of Will Trent! Season four is coming to ABC during the first full week of January. The show will be back with new episodes after a nearly eight-month break since the season three finale, and we’ll finally find out what happens with the cliffhangers from the last episode – including the fates of Amanda Wagner and Michael Ormewood.
I’m so excited! ABC just announced that Will Trent season 4 is coming back on Tuesday, January 6th, 2026! It’ll be on at the usual time, 8 pm Eastern, which is great. And even better, High Potential season 2 will be back mid-season, starting at 9 pm Eastern, and then The Rookie season 8 will premiere at 10 pm Eastern right after. It’s going to be a great night for fans!
The Cop Show’s Return Comes Early In 2026

The premiere date for Will Trent season 4 isn’t surprising, as the show has always returned mid-season. Since its beginning, Will Trent has consistently launched new seasons in January or February. ABC had also previously announced the fourth season would arrive sometime in January 2026.
I’ve been following Will Trent since it first hit screens on January 3, 2023, and it’s quickly become a reliable watch. Season two finally arrived on February 20, 2024 – a bit of a wait due to the strikes affecting production – and season three premiered just a few weeks ago on January 7, 2025. Good news for fans: season four is sticking to the show’s usual release schedule, so we can expect it around the same time as previous seasons – nothing to worry about there!
The release date for Season 4 shows the show is following a similar pattern to Season 3. With 18 episodes planned, Season 4 will premiere almost a year after Season 3 did. This means viewers can expect a similar format and schedule between the two seasons.
