“‘Tracker’ Casts Floriana Lima as Justin Hartley’s New Love Interest Amid Wife Sofia Pernas’ Return”
In season 2 of Tracker, Colter (Justin Hartley) will have a new romance — but not with his wife, Sofia Pernas.
Floriana Lima has been cast as Camille, a person from Colter’s past. According to TVLine, Camille is described as “compelling and haunting,” and has been “Colter’s on-and-off lover for at least the past 10 years.”
“A sister of Camille’s went missing 10 years ago and the case was never solved — which has caused trauma for both Camille and Colter on the anniversary of her sister’s disappearance, but also brought them together, at least for one evening,” the character description shared by the source reads.
Lima’s character was briefly seen in the official season 2 trailer when she kissed Colter. The video also confirms that Sofia Pernas will return as Billie, another woman who has a romantic history with Colter.
In season 1 of the CBS hit, viewers learned that Colter had met Billie, who was also a bounty hunter.
“It’s a really interesting idea. I thought from the beginning that there would be a character like you just mentioned,” Hartley, 47, explained to Deadline in May. “I think it was in the second episode, there was a big reward for a car. There was a line where one of the women said, ‘Rumor has it that Billie is on the case.’ And then Coulter shook his head. If you really pay attention, you’ll see, ‘Oh, he has a rival in Billie.’”
Hartley, who is also an executive producer on the show, laid the groundwork for Pernas’ character before she even appeared.
“My idea was to tease that and deliberately name the character Billie, and then reveal that Billie is Sofia. We didn’t have time to tease as much as I would have liked, but that was the intention,” he continued. “When she came along, I’m honestly not sure if the aspects of the character that she brought were written or not.”
While filming season 2, Hartley opened up about reuniting with Pernas, 35.
“She’s amazing. If I had the choice, I would want to be with her every minute,” he told Us Weekly in July. “What’s great is when you meet someone who means so much to you, that you’re proud to be around and proud of, and just admire, and get to see her work, because she’s such a talented actress. She elevates the scenes, and it makes my job easier, really.” But yeah, it was great working with her.”
