Overview
- ABC launched Season 4 on Jan. 6, with new episodes airing Tuesdays and streaming on Hulu the following day.
- The premiere advances continuity with a five-month jump that moves past last season’s cliffhangers without abandoning their consequences.
- The central through-line centers on escaped killer James Ulster, escalating a personal and professional challenge for Will without revealing plot specifics.
- Critics highlight a more character-driven focus as Will works through therapy, rebuilds family ties and wrestles with doubts about the justice system.
- The new run includes 18 episodes; Ramón Rodríguez returns as lead and will direct at least one episode, Kevin Daniels is promoted to series regular, and Gina Rodriguez’s potential return remains unconfirmed.
