Upcoming Projects for the Stars of CBS’s Hit Series
While fans eagerly await Season 3 of Tracker, expected to return in fall 2025, the main cast isn’t taking any time off. In fact, the stars of CBS’s breakout procedural drama are already lining up exciting new roles, projects, and creative ventures. Here’s what the key cast members of Tracker are up to as they head into one of the most anticipated TV seasons of the year.
Justin Hartley (Colter Shaw)
From Nomadic Tracker to Hollywood Power Player
Justin Hartley remains the heart of Tracker and will return in Season 3 not only as the lead character Colter Shaw but also as an executive producer. Beyond the show:
-
He’s starring in the action-comedy film Bride Hard alongside Rebel Wilson, set to release later this year. Hartley plays a charming secret agent turned wedding guest in a chaotic rescue mission.
-
He’s expressed interest in directing an episode of Tracker in Season 3, especially one focusing on side characters like Reenie or Bob Exley.
-
Hartley is also rumored to be developing a new drama with his wife Sofia Pernas, possibly a streaming series with a romantic thriller twist.
Fiona Rene (Reenie Greene)
Onscreen Ally, Offscreen Rising Star
Fiona Rene, who plays Colter’s steady legal advisor Reenie, is expanding her reach:
-
She recently wrapped filming on an indie feature centered on a wrongful conviction case, expected to debut at festivals in early 2025.
-
She’s writing and producing her own limited series based on her life as a queer Asian-American in law school, backed by an up-and-coming production company.
-
She’s expected to have a bigger arc in Tracker Season 3, possibly dealing with legal risk or personal trauma tied to one of Colter’s clients.
Eric Graise (Bobby Exley)
From Missing to Expanding Horizons
Although Bobby Exley was mysteriously absent in the Tracker Season 2 finale, Eric Graise’s real-life career is anything but quiet:
-
He’s been cast in a new streaming thriller series for Paramount+, where he’ll play a tech-savvy hacker turned whistleblower.
-
He’s working on a documentary short that highlights the experiences of actors with disabilities in Hollywood, using his own journey as a focal point.
-
Fans speculate that Bobby may return mid-season in Tracker if contract negotiations resolve.
Abby McEnany (Velma)
A Comedic Force With New Depth
Abby McEnany, who plays Colter’s eccentric booking agent Velma, will reportedly not appear in Season 3 due to scheduling conflicts. But that doesn’t mean she’s slowing down:
-
She’s filming a dramedy series in Chicago titled Second Act, where she plays a washed-up playwright rebuilding her life.
-
She continues her advocacy for LGBTQ+ mental health, appearing in several charity campaigns and panels.
There’s hope Velma could return in Season 4 if the show is renewed again.
Jensen Ackles (Russell Shaw)
A Brother Returns—with a Bang?
Jensen Ackles joined late in Season 2 as Colter’s estranged brother Russell Shaw. While it’s still unclear how large his role will be in Season 3, Ackles has a full plate:
-
He’s continuing work on The Boys, reprising his role as Soldier Boy in Season 4 and possibly Season 5.
-
He’s producing a horror-thriller feature film set in the Colorado mountains, with potential for a theatrical release in 2025.
Ackles has hinted that Tracker Season 3 will “change the Shaw family forever.”
Robin Weigert (Mary Dove Shaw)
The Matriarch with Secrets
Robin Weigert’s brief yet powerful performance as Mary Dove Shaw—Colter and Russell’s mother—left fans demanding more. The good news:
-
She is confirmed for several flashback and present-day episodes in Season 3, likely revealing long-buried secrets about the family’s traumatic past.
-
She’s also working on a play in New York that deals with generational guilt and forgiveness, marking her return to the stage.
Closing Thoughts
The Cast’s Momentum Mirrors the Show’s Success
Tracker is riding high as one of CBS’s most-watched new shows, and its cast is equally in motion—branching into film, directing, writing, and social advocacy. Whether on-screen or behind the scenes, the Tracker cast is proving that their talents extend far beyond the cases Colter Shaw solves each week.
As we wait for new episodes, it’s exciting to know that the show’s stars are building a diverse and dynamic presence across the entertainment world. Season 3 can’t come fast enough.
