Will Trent Season 4: What we now know and who survives and who dies

According to a recent report, the network behind the show, ABC, and the show’s producers seem to have settled the question. Neither Amanda nor Ormewood dies, at least not yet.

Both characters appear in early Will Trent Season 4 production footage.

The show’s creators confirmed that the premiere resumes roughly five months after Season 3’s finale. Both Amanda and Ormewood are shown recovering, though the trauma and visible effects of what they went through will remain part of the story.

Why this “no-death” decision matters

If only one character had been killed, it would have been the first major death of a core cast member in Will Trent.

Cutting out a major character might’ve brought drama, but it could also have unsettled the balance of the core team. Amanda and Ormewood both play big roles in the GBI squad, and losing either would shift the group’s dynamic heavily.

The writers likely realized that with other big changes ahead, including some major personal storylines. The show already had enough going on. Killing someone off might push things into overly messy territory.

What to expect going into Will Trent Season 4

Amanda and Ormewood return. But don’t expect them to be untouched. Their near-death experiences will probably shape their character arcs. Maybe one will be haunted by what happened. Maybe both will struggle with trust, trauma, or guilt.

The writers seem to want to hold off on any major cast shake-ups, at least for now. The emotional stakes are still high, but stability might let the show explore deeper character stories.

Viewers may get to see internal fallout- relationships, loyalties, and new conflicts could arise as characters deal with the aftermath.

What this means for fans and the show’s future

This decision suggests confidence from the creators that they don’t need a big death to keep the tension. Sometimes, survival, plus scars, creates more interesting drama than a sudden exit.

For longtime fans, there’s relief. Losing a core character can feel like betrayal. But keeping them alive keeps the series grounded and connected to what made it work.

For new viewers, Will Trent Season 4 might show a team that’s battered but not broken: a group forced to rebuild trust, deal with consequences, and keep doing their dangerous, high-stakes job.
