Get ready for some exciting new developments in the world of Tracker! But here's where it gets even more intriguing... The hit CBS series, based on Jeffery Deaver’s bestselling novel The Never Game, is about to introduce two fresh faces that will undoubtedly shake things up. Kathleen Robertson (Swimming with Sharks) and Mark Engelhardt (American Horror Story: Asylum) are joining the cast in recurring roles, adding layers of complexity to an already gripping narrative. And this is the part most people miss—their characters aren’t just passing through; they’re here to challenge the status quo and keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
For those who haven’t tuned in yet, Tracker follows Justin Hartley as Colter Shaw, a rugged survivalist and reward seeker with unparalleled tracking skills. Colter’s journey is as much about solving mysteries as it is about confronting his own fractured family history. Here’s the kicker: after last season’s jaw-dropping finale, Colter is forced to reckon with shocking truths about his past, all while juggling high-stakes cases. With the help of his trusted team, including Fiona Rene’s Reenie, he must navigate this emotional minefield while staying focused on his mission.
Now, let’s talk about the newcomers. Kathleen Robertson steps into the role of Maxine, a high-powered attorney who enlists Reenie for what seems like routine legal work. But here’s where it gets controversial—Maxine’s intentions might not be as straightforward as they appear. Could she be playing a double game? Meanwhile, Mark Engelhardt portrays Emile Lang, a character defined by his cold, methodical nature and unique moral compass. These two additions promise to bring fresh dynamics and unexpected twists to the show.
In this Sunday’s episode, the stakes are higher than ever. When Colter’s old friend Keaton asks for help finding his former partner, they stumble upon a chilling trail of bodies and a conspiracy that goes deeper than anyone imagined. And this is the part most people miss—how far will Colter go to uncover the truth, and what will it cost him?
Behind the scenes, Hartley isn’t just the star—he’s also an executive producer, alongside Ken Olin, Elwood Reid, Connie Dolphin, Sharon Lee Watson, and Alex Katsnelson. With 20th Television at the helm, the show continues to deliver top-tier storytelling.
Robertson’s resume is just as impressive. She recently wrote, produced, and starred in the Roku/Lionsgate reboot of Swimming with Sharks, a sharp critique and celebration of Hollywood’s inner workings. She also wrapped a recurring role in Amazon’s Reacher and has appeared in The Expanse, Murder in the First, and Bates Motel. Represented by Trademark Talent, Innovative Artists, attorney Jamie Feldman, and Play Management in Canada, she’s a force to be reckoned with.
Engelhardt, on the other hand, is no stranger to recurring roles in hit shows. From American Horror Story: Asylum to General Hospital, he’s proven his versatility. His guest appearances on CSI: Vegas, Code Black, and others further highlight his range. He’s repped by Hg5 Entertainment and Metropolitan Talent Agency.
Here’s a thought-provoking question for you: As Tracker continues to explore Colter’s personal demons and the moral ambiguities of its new characters, do you think the show is leaning too heavily into drama, or is it striking the perfect balance?
