While Tracker thrives on suspense, its cast shares a warmth that rivals any on-screen family. That bond recently took center stage when Justin Hartley and the crew secretly planned an elaborate birthday celebration for co-star Robin Weigert (Velma).
The Secret Operation
Sources reveal that the surprise took weeks of planning. During a late-night shoot in Vancouver, producers halted filming under the guise of a technical delay. As Weigert reviewed her lines, Hartley appeared with a custom cake shaped like Colter’s iconic motorcycle while a live jazz band—her favorite—began to play.
“Robin was completely floored,” recalls a camera operator. “She thought we were resetting the lights, and suddenly she was in the middle of a party.”
Heartfelt Speeches
Hartley reportedly gave a short, emotional speech about Weigert’s impact on the show: “Velma is our compass, and Robin is ours in real life. This set wouldn’t be the same without her laughter.” Cast members shared candid photos on private social accounts, and fans are already begging CBS to release official behind-the-scenes footage.
