Following a successful freshman season run, Will Trent season 2 sees the smart and offbeat special agent back to crack some of the toughest cases in Georgia. 

Based on Karin Slaughter's New York Times bestselling Will Trent series, the show has been nothing short of a hit for ABC, even becoming the number one new drama on the network. While following The Rookie on TV has definitely helped in its ratings, the captivating storylines and plot twists of Will Trent season 1  on its own have made it stand out among police procedurals. 

Here's everything we know about Will Trent season 2.  

Next episode of Will Trent season 2 

Will Trent is extending its hiatus another week. A new episode doesn't air until April 30. With that being said, now is a great time to catch up with anything you've missed this season over on Hulu.

Will Trent is an ABC original series and new episodes air live on the network in the US. For those that have cut ties with traditional cable/satellite television, ABC is available to stream on live TV streaming services such as Fubo TV, Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV. Season 2 episodes are expected to make their way to the UK via Disney Plus, but we do not have a timetable as to when that could be. 

In case you're someone who prefers to watch content on-demand, episodes become available to stream the day after they air on Hulu.  

We're still waiting to hear when season 2 premieres in the UK.
