As Tracker heads into Season 3, fans are bracing for a new chapter marked by big shifts and even bigger challenges. While the departure of beloved characters played by Robin Weigert (Colter’s handler, Velma) and Abby McEnany (the no-nonsense boss, Teddi Bruin) left many viewers disappointed, the spotlight now turns toward the remaining and emerging characters who will carry the emotional weight and narrative complexity of the upcoming season.
Reenie Greene: Colter’s New Anchor?
Reenie, played with quiet strength and grace, steps into a more prominent role following the cast shake-ups. Introduced in earlier episodes as a reliable but understated presence, her chemistry with Colter (Justin Hartley) has quietly grown, hinting at a potential deepening of both emotional and professional bonds.
With the loss of Teddi and Velma—who served as Colter’s main logistical and emotional support—Reenie might become the central figure who grounds Colter’s journey in Season 3. Her backstory, still relatively unexplored, may finally unfold as she becomes more central to the plot.
Bobby Exley: Comic Relief or More?
Colter’s tech-savvy friend Bobby (played by Eric Graise) has served mostly as comic relief and a behind-the-scenes wizard, helping Colter navigate tricky terrains using digital tools and sharp wit. But Season 3 could be a turning point for Bobby’s character development.
Fans have long speculated that Bobby may carry a deeper, more dramatic arc than previously shown. Season 3 may finally give him that spotlight—potentially testing his loyalty or putting him in danger. As the team shrinks, Bobby’s resourcefulness could become even more crucial.
Colter Shaw: A Man More Alone Than Ever
Justin Hartley’s portrayal of Colter Shaw has always walked a delicate line between rugged independence and aching solitude. Now, with the departure of his two closest allies, Season 3 may confront Colter with the emotional consequences of a life spent chasing justice without roots.
Viewers should expect a more vulnerable side to Colter—one where the constant hunt for missing people and run-ins with danger force him to reassess his own sense of home, loyalty, and trust. Will new allies emerge, or will Colter retreat further into himself?
New Characters on the Horizon?
With major gaps left by Abby McEnany and Robin Weigert, CBS may introduce new recurring or guest characters to help reshape the tone and scope of the series. The challenge will be integrating these newcomers without alienating a fanbase already rattled by the shake-up.
Rumors suggest that Jensen Ackles will return for at least a guest arc in Season 3, reprising his role as Colter’s brother Russell Shaw. His complex relationship with Colter—and the secrets still haunting their shared past—could open powerful storylines about family betrayal, trust, and legacy.
Final Thoughts: Reinvention or Risk?
Tracker Season 3 is shaping up to be a season of reinvention. The show will have to prove it can survive—and thrive—without two of its most dynamic personalities. With strong performances from the remaining cast, and the possibility of new additions, Tracker has the potential to evolve in emotionally powerful ways.
Whether you’re tuning in for the thrill of the chase or the characters behind the cases, Tracker promises a deeply personal ride ahead.
