Tracker is returning for its third season this October as a part of the 2025 TV schedule, and I am pumped for brand spanking new episodes. Thus far, the sequence has helped CBS dominate ratings-wise, and I am desperate to see if its viewers grows amid the 2025-26 season. That apart, Season 2 ended with Justin Hartley’s Colter Shaw discovering his mom had a hand in his father’s loss of life, and there is not any telling the place the story will go from there. Sadly, that plot should unfold with out two sequence regulars, who’re exiting the present (and I am irritated).
Which Tracker Stars Are Leaving The Present?
TVLine reviews that the aforementioned CBS drama is dropping each Abby McEnany and Eric Graise forward of Season 3. McEnany and Graise have been on the present since Season 1, portraying Colter’s handler Velma Bruin and grasp hacker Bobby Exley, respectively. Their exits comply with that of Robin Weigert, who departed Tracker as Teddi Bruin previous to Season 2.
McEnany and Graise’s exits depart Justin Hartley and Fiona Rene because the final two remaining sequence regulars. Additionally, from a story standpoint, Colter is now with out a everlasting handler and hacker. At this level, it could solely be speculated as as to if a brand new character might be launched to function Colter’s handler shifting ahead. After all, the character definitely wants assist with background analysis whereas he’s on the highway.
As for a hacker, The Originals alum Chris Lane was introduced on in the course of the second season as Randy, Bobby’s cousin, who is also a hacker. So my instant idea is that Randy might find yourself filling his cousin’s function.
There might certainly be easy fixes to compensate for each Bobby and Velma’s absences. Nevertheless, that does not make me any much less miffed that these strikes fall in step with comparable developments which have plagued different community reveals as of late.
I’m Irritated By These Tracker Departures And Others
Clearly, it’s commonplace for a present to lose a forged member or two over the course of its run, and it’s undoubtedly disappointing that Tracker is dropping not one however two sequence regulars after beforehand dropping one. Let’s face it, forged modifications occur, whether or not as a result of an actor needs to maneuver on, the story requires an exit, the funds dictates cuts or every other variety of causes.
Nevertheless, these newest exits come at a really fascinating time, the place it seems like a substantial variety of community TV reveals are dropping forged members and bringing new ones on. Fairly frankly, I’m simply bored with it.
In latest weeks, Chicago Hearth, Chicago P.D., Legislation & Order: SVU, Legislation & Order, FBI, 9-1-1, Elsbeth and Hearth Nation have misplaced not less than one actor forward of their upcoming seasons. For instance, Chicago Hearth misplaced its third forged member forward of Season 14. Once more, it’s regular for this to occur, but it surely’s definitely extra irritating realizing that so many nice reveals are dropping wonderful actors across the identical span of time. What’s extra is that mentioned characters play various roles of significance to their respective reveals, and there’s no approach of realizing if they’re going to be written out successfully.
It is unhappy saying goodbye to a beloved character on a present, but it surely’s much more solemn when it happens on a present a number of occasions. When it rains it pours, although, I am unsure I can take one other certainly one of my favourite reveals dropping one more forged member. After all, that is simply what occurs within the TV enterprise, I suppose and, with regards to Tracker, I am staying optimistic that the sequence will stay strong even with out two of its OG stars.
Tracker Season 3 premieres on CBS on Sunday, October 19 at 8 p.m. ET. Followers can put together for the upcoming episodes by streaming the primary two seasons with a Paramount+ subscription.
