The popular CBS drama Tracker will be down a crucial team member when it returns this fall. TVLine is this evening reporting that Robin Weigert, who portrayed Teddi Bruin in the show’s first season, will not return as a series regular for Season 2. The news is sure to have fans speculating about how the series will handle her character’s departure, as both CBS and 20th Television have remained tight-lipped, declining to comment on the situation, as per the report. Weigert’s character, Teddi, played a significant role in the first season as one of the handlers aiding Colter Shaw, portrayed by This Is Us alum Justin Hartley.
Teddi, alongside her wife Velma (Abby McEnany), provided crucial support to Colter from afar as he used his expert tracking skills to solve various cases across the country. Losing a key member of his team will undoubtedly create some new challenges for Colter in the upcoming season as he tracks down more bounties.
The good news for fans of the series, however, is that they have now learned that Velma will be back and, in mroe exciting news, potentially stepping into a more prominent role. Speaking to TVLine, showrunner Elwood Reid teased that Velma would be “taking on a very interesting role with something that was hinted at with Reenie’s character in the final couple episodes” of Season 1, which suggested that Velma’s character arc may be expanding, offering viewers a deeper dive into her story and possibly filling the void left by Teddi’s exit.
