Ahead of Tracker Season 3, it was revealed that the CBS drama would be losing half of its main cast.
Aside from lead Justin Hartley, as Colter Shaw, and his sidekick, Reenie, played by Fiona Rene, there are no other regular cast members following the exit of Eric Graise, who played tech whiz Bobby, and Abby McEnany, who starred as Velma.
Jensen Ackles will return to reprise his guest star role as Colter’s brother Russell Shaw.
A reason was not given initially for the two character exits, though EP Elwood Reid later addressed the absence ahead of the premiere episode, explaining that the decision was made to “consolidate and build out Reenie’s office a bit more.”
Legacies star Chris Lee, who signed on as a fill-in for Bobby during his hiatus on Tracker Season 2, and whose character, Randy, became an instant favorite amongst the fandom, returned to assist Reenie in her office set-up, though Reid emphasized that he was not replacing either Velma or Bobby.
