When Tracker returns for its third season on October 19, it’ll accomplish that with out half of its sequence regulars, with Abby McEnany and Eric Graise not returning as Colter’s (Justin Hartley) handler Velma and hacker Bobby, respectively. However may we see them once more?
“There’s a risk, however proper now, on this first block, no,” showrunner Elwood Reid tells TV Insider.
As for the way their absences might be defined, he shares, “Proper now, Velma goes off to be with Teddi [Robin Weigert, who exited after Season 1], who we’ve arrange that there have been some issues; that’s arrange within the first episode. And Bobby has taken an attention-grabbing job supply, which we’ll hear about within the first episode.”
Taking a look at this season, Reid explains that one of many objectives is “making an attempt to do is construct out the world of Reenie’s [Fiona Rene] workplace slightly bit higher. And one of many issues that we’re doing is bringing Randy [Chris Lee], who was a very sturdy character from final 12 months, bringing him to Denver to assist out.”
After the occasions of final season, which put Reenie “in a reasonably darkish place — her boyfriend had been shot, her firm had been form of fucked over, she’d had this breach of safety,” Randy is coming in to provide her “a digital well being test detox,” the EP says. “That blooms right into a deeper relationship the place he could also be understanding of her workplace slightly bit serving to.”
There’s additionally how Reenie herself is doing after the occasions of Season 2. “That’s going to turn out to be a storyline,” confirms Reid. “As a result of I’ve these superb actors, I believe the present loses in the event that they’re simply all concerning the case. You need to comply with them dwelling slightly bit. I do know we’ve got Reenie as this type of boss lawyer on a regular basis, however I don’t know if she’s at all times that. I believe there’s this different facet to her, and I significantly suppose that given with what occurred to her final 12 months, it’s solely real looking that that might have some lasting results on her. So that you’ll begin to see us making an attempt to construct out her character slightly bit extra as not simply somebody who waits by the telephone for Colter to name, as a result of that’s not what these individuals are doing.”
