Will Trent has added a Severance star to the season 3 cast in a recurring role that could cross into season 4. Will Trent season 3 is approaching its finale, but that has not stopped the show from introducing new characters and adding seasoned professionals to its cast list. The hit ABC procedural premiered in January 2023, and has so far run three seasons, with Will Trent season 4 getting a renewal in April 2025. And viewers are set to be introduced to a new character, who could shake things up across the show.

Per TVLine, Yul Vazquez will be introduced as Sheriff Caleb, a character who will debut in the penultimate episode of Will Trent season 3. Vazquez previously played Petey on Severance​​​​​​. He's described as a rugged, handsome, fiercely stubborn hometown hero, who looks to protect his community and has little time for outsiders. The character, described as a "newfound enemy" with a "shocking secret," will appear in a recurring role, which has the scope to continue into the show's fourth installment.

What This Means For Will Trent Seasons 3 & 4

Groundwork Can Be Laid Now For An Explosive Season 4

Sheriff Caleb will have his introduction in Will Trent season 3, episode 17, titled 'Why Hello, Sheriff,' and it seems highly likely he is going to play a prominent role in the immediate future of the series. The fact Caleb will enter the scene late in season 3 suggests he is going to feature heavily in season 4 as well, and the final two episodes of season will present an opportunity to lay the groundwork for the installment, as well as establishing his role in the show, and the type of relationship he is set to have with Will and the team.

There is a good bet that Caleb will wind up being a complicated and damaged character with a past, and one who should provide more conflict in Will's professional life.

The fact that the character is teased as having a shocking secret, and that executive producer Liz Heldens answered "maybe," (per TV Line) when asked if Caleb is poised to be a "Big Bad", makes him an intriguing character. With Will Trent season 4 officially renewed, the creative team can properly plan for how next season may look, and Caleb's story is one that looks certain to bleed into season 4, with the character possibly even appearing longer.
