She has her legal duties and client relations to manage, but as always, she also helps the best in keeping Colter’s life in check. In the premiere episode, she’s faced with the newest case when a client’s family goes missing, and her instincts make her an important part of the case. Reenie’s constant presence and her no-nonsense attitude continue to drive Colter forward through every storm.


Chris Lee as Randy

Chris Lee as Randy, Colter’s go-to tech guy. Randy has a good amount of humor, and he perhaps has the best set of brains on the team. In Tracker Season 3 Episode 1, Randy is more involved than ever and he handles all of the digital looking and background checks.

His skills prove to be extremely important when the team faces encrypted messages and mysterious threats. Randy might be the funny guy on the outside, but on the inside, he's the guy who looks at all of the techy clues and helps move the cases forward.


Jensen Ackles as Russell Shaw

Jensen Ackles finally returns to Tracker Season 3 Episode 1 as Russell Shaw, Colter’s brother, who brings both comfort and conflict to the episode. The Shaw brothers have a past that is quite complex, but when they're forced to work together, their chemistry oozes out of the screen.

Russell’s no-nonsense attitude and sharp instincts make him the perfect partner for his brother’s field skills.


Kai Lennox as Raymond Ockman

Kai Lennox joins Tracker Season 3 Episode 1 as Raymond Ockman, a high school teacher who hides something much darker on the inside.

When Colter and Russell cross paths with him, Raymond’s fear soon hints at his connection to an underground group called “The Process.”

His character plays an important part in the episode’s central mystery, showing how normal people can get caught up in extraordinary danger.


Brandon Keener as Cal Rodgers

Brandon Keener is Cal Rodgers, the desperate father seen in Tracker Season 3 Episode 1. When his wife and daughter vanish, Cal turns to Reenie and Colter for help, setting off the events for the premiere.

His fear, frustration, and hope make his storyline extremely emotional. Keener’s performance adds a sense of realness to the episode with a father’s determination to reunite with his family.


Tracker Season 3 Episode 1 brings back the perfect balance of mystery, family, and raw emotion while adding new twists and faces that keep things fresh. Justin Hartley’s Colter Shaw remains the anchor, but it’s the ensemble around him that makes the show pulse with energy.

With returning favorites and a few guest stars, this premiere episode proves that Tracker still knows exactly how to pull us back in.
