While Tracker fans eagerly await the arrival of Season 2, many are wondering what the show’s beloved cast members are doing during the off-season. From traveling adventures to new film projects, this downtime has been anything but quiet for Colter Shaw and the rest of the team. Here’s a closer look at how the stars of Tracker are spending their break—and why it’s making fans love them even more.
Justin Hartley (Colter Shaw): Mixing Family Time with a Side of Hollywood
Justin Hartley, the ruggedly charismatic lead who plays Colter Shaw, has been savoring every moment off-set. After the intense shoot for Season 1, Hartley jetted off with wife Sofia Pernas for a much-needed vacation. The two were spotted in Italy enjoying gelato, sun-drenched coastal towns, and what fans have dubbed “the soft launch of their rom-com era.”
In addition to soaking in some R&R, Hartley hasn’t slowed down professionally. He’s been working on producing a new thriller with NBC, which he’ll also co-star in. On Instagram, he teased fans with behind-the-scenes shots of the project, leaving many wondering if we’ll see a darker side of Hartley beyond Colter’s survivalist instincts.
Fiona Rene (Reenie Greene): A Creative Powerhouse On and Off Screen
Fiona Rene, who plays tech whiz Reenie Greene, has been using her break to explore her other passion: storytelling. She’s directing a short film that tackles identity and healing—two themes close to her heart.
Fans have praised Rene not just for her acting, but for her activism and authenticity. She recently hosted a creative workshop in Los Angeles for women of color in entertainment and shared how Tracker has empowered her voice in more ways than one.
Between writing, directing, and uplifting others, Fiona’s off-season is as inspiring as her on-screen persona.
Abby McEnany (Velma Bruin): A Step Back, But Still Shining Bright
While it’s been officially announced that Abby McEnany won’t return as a series regular for Season 2, she’s been keeping busy in her signature style—fun, quirky, and refreshingly low-key.
McEnany has been performing stand-up again, returning to her comedic roots in Chicago’s legendary improv scene. She’s also been developing a podcast with longtime friend and Work in Progress co-creator Tim Mason. It’s tentatively titled Laugh Through It—a hybrid of comedy and personal stories that’s set to debut later this year.
Though fans will miss Velma, they’ll be glad to know Abby isn’t stepping away from storytelling altogether.
Eric Graise (Bobby Exley): Going Global and Giving Back
Eric Graise, who brought depth and charm to tracker Bobby Exley, has been enjoying a global adventure—literally. Since wrapping Season 1, he’s traveled to Tokyo, Cape Town, and London, documenting his experiences with fans online.
But it’s not all sightseeing and sushi. Graise recently partnered with a disability rights organization to host youth workshops around inclusivity in media. His passion for representation—especially for actors with disabilities—continues to resonate with Tracker fans who admire both his talent and advocacy.
He’s also hinted at a new music project in the works. Could Bobby Exley be dropping beats before he tracks down fugitives again? Stay tuned.
Robin Weigert (Teddi Bruin): Quiet Retreats and Powerful Projects
Veteran actress Robin Weigert, who plays the steely and enigmatic Teddi Bruin, has taken a different approach to her off-season: solitude and storytelling. Weigert retreated to a cabin in the Pacific Northwest to finish writing her first novel, a psychological drama based loosely on her experiences navigating Hollywood.
In addition, she’s attached to a new limited series about a 1970s cult in California—one that’s said to have the gritty, introspective tone of True Detective. It’s still in development, but her return to prestige television may give us another brilliant Weigert performance before she returns to Tracker.
What This Means for Season 2
While the Tracker cast is branching out, fans can rest assured that these ventures only enrich the world they bring to life on screen. Each actor is sharpening their creative tools—whether through travel, activism, writing, or laughter—and bringing those lived experiences back to their characters.
Season 2 promises higher stakes, deeper emotional arcs, and even more unpredictable adventures. But until then, watching the cast thrive in the wild terrain of real life is its own kind of entertainment.
Conclusion: A Break Worth Watching
As the cameras pause and production for Tracker Season 2 gears up, the cast has taken their own paths—each uniquely compelling, creative, and worth following. Whether it’s Justin Hartley charming fans from Italy, or Fiona Rene lifting up underrepresented voices, this cast is as dynamic off-screen as they are on.
So while the wait for Season 2 might feel long, fans can take comfort in knowing their favorite trackers are still blazing new trails—and leaving plenty of breadcrumbs along the way.
