Will Trent has cast its Uncle Antonio, revealing which episode of season 2 will show the highly-anticipated character for the first time. Since learning that his only living relative is his mother’s brother, Will has been trying to learn more about who his uncle actually is. In season 2, episode 2, he made a file on the mysterious man, hoping that doing so would give him answers about his past.
Now, TVLine reports that Will Trent season 2 has cast John Ortiz (American Fiction, Promised Land) as Uncle Antonio. He will make his debut in season 2, episode 6, “We Are Family,” which airs on Tuesday, April 9. The episode will heavily involve him meeting Will for the first time as the GBI and APB dig into the death of a judge.
How Antonio Can Help Will Trent Find Answers About His Family
Will’s parentage and uncovering the mysteries of his family have been major parts of the series since the beginning. The overarching narrative of season 1 involved catching James Ulster, a serial killer who murdered his mother, Lucy, when he was younger. Season 2 sees the killer give Antonio’s name to Will, while also claiming to be his real father despite a lack of evidence.
ABC has described Antonio as someone who is similar to Will, indicating the pair will get along well once they grow acquainted with each other. This means that, despite Will Trent season 2’s tragic premiere, there’s a sliver of hope he’ll be able to get answers about his past from his uncle. If he does uncover more truths relating to his family and his parentage, it could reveal whether or not James is really his biological father.
Since season 2 is only going to be 10 episodes, it may not be until Will Trent season 3 that more concrete answers surrounding his family tree come to light. However, Antonio’s first appearance is going to offer the start of digging up that information. Perhaps the episode when the pair finally meet will feature more answers than expected – or raise new questions about the special agent’s past.
