As one of Netflix's best new shows to binge-watch during the first week of November 2026, this binge-worthy series was just added to the world's largest streaming platform on Tuesday, November 3, and is expected to make a big splash on global viewership charts, especially in the United States. If you're looking for a new crime series to dive into right now, it doesn't get much better than this.

Netflix just added all 59 episodes and four seasons of Will Trent, one of ABC's most popular police procedural crime drama series. With its well-known cast and strong source material, Will Trent delivers some of the best and most interesting crime mystery stories currently on network TV and is well worth watching this week now that it's officially on Netflix. Will Trent earned a strong 74% Rotten Tomatoes audience score and averaged more than 4.6 million weekly viewers during its season 4 run earlier this year, becoming one of ABC's most popular primetime shows. What's more, Will Trent season 5 is currently in development and will premiere sometime in early 2027.

Netflix Now Has All 59 Episodes Of Will Trent – What It's About

This week officially marks the beginning of a new era for Will Trent now that all four existing seasons are available to stream on Netflix, starting today. Will Trent is based on the popular book series of the same name written by Karin Slaughter, which consists of twelve main novels and counting. The new Netflix series follows its titular protagonist, Will Trent, played by Ramón Rodríguez, best known for his previous roles in blockbuster movies such as Need for Speed, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and Battle Los Angeles. Rodríguez is joined by Erika Christensen (Traffic), Iantha Richardson (This Is Us), and Jake McLaughlin (Warrior) to round out a stellar ensemble cast.

Just like the books, Will Trent on ABC and Netflix centers on a special agent who works for the Georgia Bureau of Investigations and has the highest rate of solved crimes among his peers. Will has the distinct advantage in his field of having grown up within Atlanta's foster care system after having been abandoned at birth, a personal tragedy that he was able to incorporate into his professional life that makes him especially skilled and instinctual when it comes to solving various crimes, including high-profile murders, kidnappings, and human trafficking, and even hunting down elusive serial killers.

Will Trent Delivers Peak Crime Mystery By Making Things Personal

Will Trent on ABC and Netflix separates itself from other traditional police procedural series such as Criminal Minds and NCIS by remaining grounded in the emotional elements of Will's character while also maintaining a serious crime drama tone. This approach is one of the key ways that makes Will feel relatable and charismatic without ever becoming overly serious or dark, as is often the case with other crime drama series of its kind. Will is not only one of the smartest people in the room no matter where he goes, but he is also emotionally intelligent and aware due to his troubled past, which can make him more guarded and perceptive than the average special agent.

Will's specific challenges that he was forced to overcome from his tumultuous upbringing also provide a great sense of pride and determination within his character, always willing to go the extra mile rather than arrive at the easiest resolution on a case-by-case basis. Being a special agent is much more significant and meaningful to Will than most of the crime-solving characters viewers are used to seeing on TV because of this rare quality that makes every crime personal, no matter the stakes. Will Trent is certainly not the grittiest or most realistic crime drama available to binge on Netflix, but it does offer one of the most brilliantly unconventional variations of the long-running genre and is one of the most heartfelt iterations of a crime drama now on Netflix.
