Will Trent Meets His Uncle (and Betty Makes a New Friend) in Sneak Peek

Will Trent fans, get ready for a special moment as Will finally meets his long-lost uncle in Season 2, Episode 6 of the ABC drama, airing Tuesday at 8/7c. This episode introduces Antonio Miranda, played by John Ortiz (American Fiction), who is the brother of Will’s late mother, Lucy Morales. Described as “warm and charismatic,” Antonio’s arrival promises to stir things up in Will’s world.

In an exclusive sneak peek, we see Will and his loyal dog, Betty, waiting anxiously for Antonio’s arrival. Moments later, Antonio arrives, bringing along his own dog, Portia, who quickly bonds with Betty. Both Will and Antonio are a bit nervous—Antonio feels underdressed when he sees Will in his classic three-piece suit, and Will is focused on making a good impression by treating Antonio to the best shrimp tacos in town. However, the initial tension quickly fades as the two share a heartfelt embrace.

Executive producer Liz Heldens previously teased Antonio’s arrival, noting that it’s exciting to see Will interact with a male role model for a change. With Will usually surrounded by strong female characters like Angie, Faith, and Amanda, Antonio’s presence will provide a new, refreshing dynamic and allow Will to explore a different kind of relationship in his life.
