Will Trent Co-Showrunners on Season 2 Finale and What's Next for Will and Sara

A Heartbreaking End and a Glimpse of What's to Come

Will Trent season 2 ended on a heartbreaking note, with Georgie's emotional departure from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

But even as fans mourned the loss of one beloved character, they eagerly anticipated the return of another: Dr. Sara Linton. Will she make an appearance in season 3?

Sara Linton's Role in the Books and the Show

For fans of Karin Slaughter's Will Trent book series, Sara Linton is a familiar and beloved character. Introduced in 2001's Blindsighted, she later crossed over into Slaughter's Grant County series.

In the show, Sara's absence has been felt by both Will and the audience. Her intelligence, empathy, and unwavering support for Will have been sorely missed.

Co-Showrunners on Sara's Future

In a recent interview, Will Trent co-showrunners EJ Bonni and Nansie Murray addressed the burning question of Sara's return. While they remained coy about specific details, they hinted at the possibility of a future appearance.

"We're always thinking about Sara," said Bonni. "She's a vital part of Will's life and the world of Will Trent. We would love to find a way to bring her into the show in a meaningful way."

Grant County Spin-Off or Prequel?

Murray added that they are also considering the possibility of a Grant County spin-off or prequel series that would focus on Sara's character.

"Sara is such a rich and compelling character," said Murray. "She has her own unique story to tell, and we think it would be fascinating to explore that further."

A Thrilling Future for Will and Sara

Whether Sara appears in season 3 of Will Trent or in her own spin-off series, one thing is clear: the future is bright for both Will and Sara.

Fans can expect more heart-pounding suspense, gripping storylines, and the complex and emotional relationship between Will and Sara.
