Tracker’s downsized workforce shall be getting nearer, although, which is an thrilling change for the collection.

Colter’s last two teammates standing in Tracker season 3 shall be Reenie (Fiona Rene) and Randy (Chris Lee). Whereas Reenie has been Colter’s on-call lawyer for the reason that pilot episode, Randy made his debut in season 2 as a type of technical assist.

Whereas talking with TV Insider, showrunner Elwood Reid revealed that one of many objectives for season 3 is to “construct the world” of the characters, which suggests each Reenie and Randy shall be explored a bit extra this season. They will even be sharing workplace area.

Tracker followers will keep in mind that Reenie determined to open her personal regulation workplace in Denver, Colorado, final season, leaving the agency she labored for behind. Randy shall be making the transfer to her workplace to work along with her, in a way of talking.

The plan is for him to present her workplace a “digital well being verify,” however he sticks round and shares the area.

Due to the character of Colter Shaw’s job in Tracker, most of his interactions together with his supporting gamers are by cellphone. Whereas he can name up Reenie for authorized recommendation or to dig into somebody’s prison historical past, he may name Randy to get him to hack into somebody’s units. The 2 have totally different talent units and don’t work collectively.

In actual fact, they haven’t labored with each other since Randy made his Tracker debut in season 2. Whereas Velma helped Reenie out in her workplace when Velma and her spouse have been going by means of a tough patch, the one different Group Colter member to cease by her new workplace to date is Colter himself.

Reenie and Randy have each (individually) been out within the discipline to assist Colter observe down lacking folks, however they’ve by no means shared a workspace. Their dynamic shall be an fascinating one to discover, particularly since Randy helped so as to add a little bit levity to in any other case severe storylines final season.

Reenie went by means of a traumatic occasion on the end of Tracker season 2, being kidnapped, so Randy shall be a great individual to have in her private area whereas she is recovering from that trauma. There shall be a fragile stability there.

Likewise, Randy has solely interacted with Colter and his personal cousin on the lacking individuals circumstances Colter has taken on since he appeared within the present. Simply how he’ll work with a non-family member in the identical workplace is an unknown proper now.

Reid’s assertion that the 2 Tracker characters sharing an workplace “blooms right into a deeper relationship” is an effective signal for the present. The collection has struggled to essentially flesh out its supporting solid and their relationships with each other up to now as a result of a lot of the main focus needs to be on Colter Shaw because the titular tracker.

By permitting Randy and Reenie to really share the display, now we have the proper alternative to get to know them higher and for the present to get a recent dynamic. That recent dynamic is required when the present is dropping half of its important solid as Tracker season 3 opens.

It additionally helps that the 2 characters sharing area are additionally the 2 most probably to name Colter out on maintaining issues from them or closing himself off from them. Teaming them up won’t simply flesh out Reenie and Randy’s personalities and backstories for the viewers, however Colter’s as nicely.

Three seasons into the present, teaming Randy and Reenie up may simply be what stops the procedural from getting stale.

Tracker season 3 premieres on CBS on October 19 at 8:00 PM.
