The complexities of the Shaw family’s history take center stage in the upcoming season of “Tracker.” The showrunner, Elwood Reid, recently shared insights about the potential return of Jensen Ackles and Melissa Roxburgh in their respective roles as Russell and Dory. Fans are eager to see how these characters will contribute to the unfolding narrative.
Will Ackles and Roxburgh Reprise Their Roles in Tracker Season 3?
As “Tracker” Season 3 unfolds, the question of whether Jensen Ackles and Melissa Roxburgh will return is on many viewers’ minds. Following the show’s fall finale, Reid addressed this uncertainty in an interview with TV Insider. According to Reid, scheduling remains a significant challenge for both actors, given their commitments to other projects.
The Challenges of Scheduling
- Jensen Ackles is currently involved in “The Boys” spinoff, “Vought Rising.”
- Melissa Roxburgh stars in “The Hunting Party,” with Season 2 set to premiere on January 8.
Reid expressed his desire to include both actors whenever possible, noting, “If Jensen has a hole in his schedule at the end of the year, I’d like to book him in.” However, he emphasized the importance of maintaining the show’s focus on the main character, Colter.
Storyline Focus
Reid articulated his goal to ensure that the storylines remain centered around Colter, played by Justin Hartley. The show must succeed as a standalone narrative, even when guest characters are introduced. “It has to work completely as a Colter case,” Reid asserted, highlighting the need for solid storytelling.
The Shaw Family’s Past
The saga of the Shaw family is rich with intrigue, particularly regarding their parents’ tumultuous history. The season has already revealed tensions surrounding their father’s death. In a pivotal two-part episode, Colter shared insights into the night their father died, shedding light on complex family dynamics.
As fans anticipate future episodes, the return of Ackles and Roxburgh as Russell and Dory could lead to explosive moments. Their presence would undoubtedly enrich the narrative as viewers seek answers about the Shaw family’s past.
What Lies Ahead
The midseason return of “Tracker” is set for Sunday, March 1, at 8/7c on CBS. Fans hope to see their beloved characters return and explore deeper familial connections. As Reid continues to navigate scheduling intricacies, viewers remain optimistic for further developments in this gripping saga.
