ABC is keeping Gina Rodriguez on the schedule. The actress’ Not Dead Yet single-camera comedy series was cancelled earlier this year, but she continues to serve as co-host of the Lucky 13 game show this summer. Now, Rodriguez is joining the cast of the ABC’s Will Trent as a series regular. She will appear in season three of the drama, per Deadline.
Ramón Rodríguez, Erika Christensen, Iantha Richardson, Jake McLaughlin, and Sonja Sohn star in the ABC drama. The Will Trent series follows Special Agent Will Trent (Rodríguez) of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI), who uses his unique perspective to solve cases.
The following was revealed about Rodriguez’s upcoming role on the series:
Rodriguez will portray Marion Alba, a charismatic, confident Assistant District Attorney new to Atlanta. After her first encounter with Will falls flat, the pair is surprised to learn that they must work together to investigate a crime in the world of Atlanta gangs.
The midseason premiere date for season three of Will Trent will be announced later.
