Will Trent executive producers Daniel Thomsen and Liz Heldens address Mark-Paul Gosselaar's future on the show. The crime series follows the cases of Wilbur "Will" Trent (Ramón Rodríguez), a special agent at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Trent is a very gifted and perceptive special agent, but he still finds himself struggling with the trauma of his childhood growing up in foster care. The only people who really understand his history are his girlfriend Angie Polaski (Erika Christensen) and his frenemy Paul Campano (Gosselaar), who grew up alongside him in foster care.
