“Season 3 begins off with the place we went on the finish of Season 2. We simply know he disappeared. We don’t know the place he went. We don’t know what he did. And we study that he went to … rural Tennessee with him and Betty, and he form of tried to begin over,” Rodriguez teased. “We get to instantly see it’s been some time. He doesn’t look the identical, he’s not in his swimsuit, he’s not clear shaven… and so he’s taking a while to form of mirror and get away and begin over and, I believe, actually ask questions if his life that he was pursuing within the GBI was proper, and is that this what he needs to be doing? And so it was lots of self-reflection. He needed to have that stroll.”
Certainly, the brand new trailer for the season reveals Will in way more informal gear than we’re used to seeing him traipse round in — till Amanda Wagner (Sonja Sohn) is available in and calls for he return to the Georgia Bureau of Investigations, the place he belongs.
“It isn’t till Amanda comes again in and tells him about this case that’s taking place that entails somebody from Will’s previous that lures him again in. He reluctantly goes again,” Rodriguez defined. “All the things he’s left behind, his relationship with Religion [Iantha Richardson] is absolutely in horrible form as a result of he didn’t let her know something. We see that him and Angie [Erika Christensen] aren’t even [talking]. She’s now not APD. And we see the second when he walks again residence for the primary time, and he walks in his home, and Nico’s upset at him, and we see that eating desk that represented every thing that was about his potential future with Angie, and that that’s now not the case anymore. So we’re form of choosing him up after the wake of his choice to go away, and lots of these relationships we get to discover all through the season and the way they probably get it again.”
His relationship with Angie, who has not solely been his major love curiosity within the collection but additionally his oldest good friend, goes to be significantly strained by his choice to show her in to the police for overlaying for Crystal’s homicide of her abuser.
“It’s actually, actually tough within the first a number of episodes, and as soon as Will and Angie lastly do get to be head to head, it’s not a simple factor. They each have their causes for being upset at one another, and Will has his causes of why he did what he did, and so it’s actually difficult, and hopefully audiences will likely be completely satisfied,” Rodriguez mentioned.
