Joining the night will be new crime drama “Will Trent,” starring Ramón Rodríguez in the title role and based on Karin Slaughter’s wildly popular bestselling book series.
Multiple Emmy® Award-winning comedy “Abbott Elementary,” starring and executive produced by Quinta Brunson, resumes class WEDNESDAY, JAN. 4.
