Summary
It seems as though Justin Hartley’s Colter Shaw doesn’t have much time for romance inTracker, and whileI would love to see the protagonist start dating one character in particular,it makes sense why they can’t be together (yet). The CBS action drama TV series, created by Ben H. Winters, is based on Jeffery Deaver’s 2019 bookThe Never Game(which was followed by three more novels).Trackercenters around Colter, a survivalist and (as the show’s name suggests) tracker who travels around the country, picking up jobs from law enforcement or private citizens to find missing people.
Trackerhad an outstanding first season on CBS — the action drama became the network’s most watched show in its freshman season, dethroningNCIS,which has been on the air for more than 20 years.
Aside from Hartley,the cast of CBS’sTrackerincludes Robin Weigert as Teddi Bruin, Abby McEnany as Velma Bruin, Eric Graise as Bobby Exley, and Fiona Rene as Reenie Greene. Over the course ofTrackerseason 1’s 13 episodes, the characters frequently worked together to assist Colter in his various jobs. But in between all the work,sparks flew between Colter and Reenie,who have a romantic past as they slept together once. Nevertheless, we might be waiting a long time for Colter and Reenie to get together in the CBS action drama series.
Justin Hartley Is Right About A Colter & Reenie Romance In Tracker Season 2
Colter Isn’t Ready For A Relationship
DuringTracker’s panel at San Diego Comic Con 2024, star and executive producerJustin Hartley addressed the possibility of Colter and Reenieacting on their obvious feelings for one another anytime soon. Unfortunately,the actor wasn’t too optimistic about the couple’s chances.PerPeople,Hartley said:
“I think all of the things about [Colter] that are heroic and brave become reckless and selfish [if he and Reenie become a couple]. It’s like, I’m going to leave my house and go through all this stuff and put myself in danger, and you’re back here worried about me. I just don’t think that’s a good look.”
It seems as though Hartley is determined to have Colter remain single for the time being. Even though the romantic in me (and someone who is rooting for Colter and Reenie) finds that frustrating, it ultimately makes sense for his character.Colter is a lone-wolf whose job keeps him occupied almost 24/7.As Hartley said, his time spent traveling and on the road wouldn’t be fair to his partner. Plus, Colter isn’t exactly a character whose heart is the most open to love. So, whenTrackerseason 2 releases, viewers should expect Colter to be (and stay) single.
Why I’ve Been Waiting For Colter & Reenie To Get Together
Colter & Reenie Have A Lot Of Chemistry In Tracker
Reenie, a lawyer who frequently helps Colter get out of sticky situations, was seeminglyintroduced during theTrackerpilot episode to be Colter’s love interest.There was easy, humorous banter between the two characters. Plus, they have a romantic past — Colter and Reenie previously slept together, but Colter left for a job before Reenie woke up, which understandably frustrated her. Colter’s actions prove Justin Hartley’s thoughts about his character remaining single, but, one can’t help but root for Colter and Reenie.
Trackerhas only released 13 episodes, though, so, there is still a lot of time for progress to be made in Colter and Reenie’s relationship.
So, it appeared as ifthe writers were laying the groundwork for Colter and Reenie to eventually get togetherin the CBS action drama TV series. Consequently, I have been waiting for something to happen between the two characters.Trackerhas only released 13 episodes, though, so, there is still a lot of time for progress to be made in Colter and Reenie’s relationship. But it might be a while as they likely won’t get togetherinTrackerseason 2 after the season 1 finaleand Hartley’s comments.
I’m Officially Convinced Jensen Ackles’ Russell Shaw Is Innocent In Tracker For This Key Reason
One key detail from Tracker season 1 has me convinced that Russell Shaw, portrayed by Jensen Ackles, is innocent of killing their father, Ashton Shaw.
The Tracker Star’s Comments Don’t Rule Out A Relationship In Later Seasons
Colter & Reenie Could Have A Slow-Burn Relationship
Even though Justin Hartley made it clear that Colter would be single for the foreseeable future, that doesn’t mean he won’t ever find someone (like Reenie) that he wants to be with romantically. A major component of all TV shows is character development, especially concerning protagonists, and Colter shouldn’t be any different.Colter will likely continue to grow as the episodes and seasons go on,preparing him for a potential long-term relationship. Perhaps Colter and Reenie won’t get together whenTrackerseason 2 premieres, but the possibility of a romance between the two remains.
