Will Trent (2023)

Special Agent Will Trent was abandoned at birth and endured a harsh coming-of-age in Atlanta's overwhelmed foster care system. Determined to make sure no one feels as he did, he now has the highest clearance rate.

Atlanta is a Character: Will Trent is filmed extensively in Atlanta, Georgia, highlighting the city's culture, architecture, and streets. The production team prioritizes filming in real locations to capture the gritty and dark atmosphere described in Karin Slaughter's books.
Accent Training: Ramón Rodríguez, who plays Will Trent, worked with a dialect coach to master an Atlantan accent. He used André 3000 from Outkast as a reference for speech patterns and sounds common in Atlanta.
Dog Casting: Will Trent's dog, Betty, is played by Bluebell.
From Books to Screen: The show is based on Karin Slaughter's New York Times bestselling Will Trent series, which began nearly two decades before the TV adaptation. The series follows the same format as the books, focusing on Special Agent Will Trent and his unique perspective due to his tough upbringing in Atlanta's foster care system.
Expanding Roles: In season 4, Kevin Daniels (Det. Franklin Wilks) has been promoted to series regular. This allows the show to explore his character beyond being Angie's friend, with Daniels showcasing new sides of Franklin, including a "showstopper of an interrogation".
