As Tracker is gearing up to release its second season, the hit series has seen a significant casting setback. As exclusively reported by TVLine, actor Robin Weigert, who played Teddi Bruin, one of the handlers that assisted Colter Shaw in Season 1, will not return as a series regular for the second season. The departure of one of the show’s main stars certainly leaves a void in the main storyline, but neither CBS nor 20th Television have addressed how they are going to explain the character’s exit.
Fortunately, although Weigert is parting ways with Tracker, Abby McEnany, who plays Teddi’s wife, Velma Bruin, in the show, will still return for the next season to play a very interesting role. As a matter of fact, Elwood Reid, an executive producer of Tracker, told TVLine that Velma will open the second season, “taking on a very interesting role with something that was hinted at by Reenie’s character in the final couple of episodes.” How Reid will justify including Teddi’s wife but not Teddi is a mystery at that point, though it has led some to believe that Teddi will be killed off.
