ABC’s quirky police procedural Will Trent has already impressed in its first two seasons thus far, and it has already been renewed for season 3. Based on the best-selling books by Karin Slaughter, Will Trent follows the titular Georgia Bureau of Investigations Special Agent who is known, and envied, for his impossibly high case clearance rate. After exposing corruption within the Atlanta Police Department, Will not only has to solve cases but has to further root out the bad elements in local law enforcement.

Scoring high marks with critics right off the bat, Will Trent separates itself from the usual police procedural by investing so much in the characters and their complicated relationships. Shows like Will Trent are rare, and it brilliantly used its premiere season to build upon the fascinating story threads that were introduced early on. Season 2 is where ABC’s latest hit will find its footing, and the success of the sophomore outing has helped earn an early season 3 renewal.
