Eric Grogeis long Tracker The absence caused a Surprising quantity of backlash -But was the creative team of the show been shocked by the amount of missed bobby?
Before the final of season 2 on Sunday 11 May, executive producer Elwood Reid weighed on Bobby having left for a handful of episodes, exclusively told US Weekly“This is one of those things where the availability of actors is always a problem. There have been shows where people don’t even notice [if a character is missing]. “”
Reid, 58, stressed that Tracker does not work like most programs with an overall casting.
“You don’t do it [always] See Reenie. He speaks to Velma for two seconds. He can speak to Bobby for a phone call. The show works because you are finished Justin [Hartley]“Spaping,” said Reid. “One of the challenges of season 3 will reconfigure the team and understand what this team looks like.”
Tracker fans paid special attention to the character of Eric Grege Bobby – so of course, they noticed when he had disappeared for several episodes for no apparent reason. The successful CBS series, which was presented in first in February 2024, is centered on a survival called Colter (Justin Hartley) which travels the country by helping to solve a variety […]
According to Reid, a priority for the show is to ensure that the tracker does not do so “Falling into complacency.”
“I don’t want the show to be” calling a friend “every week,” added Reid. “I think it ages and that Justin always challenges me on this subject. He is like” do we need to do this? Should I call Bobby all the time? Can I do this? “”
The tracker follows Colter survival (Hartley) while traveling the country to help find missing persons, finding information on criminal cases and more. Each episode shows that Colter obtains the help of his team – the Teddi manager (Robin Weigert), Hacker bobby and reenie lawyer (Fiona René).
Earlier this season, gray, 35 years old, was significantly absent From six episodes. His cousin Randy (Chris Lee) was brought to help Colter before Bobby’s return, which caused the viewers who grew up accustomed to see gray On their screen.
“Randy entered and also gave something to the show that was different. There was real warmth and pleasure when he entered. It was something that I think we are missing in certain episodes. He was immediately fun when he entered,” noted Reid. “With these dynamics – and playing with this team dynamic – that’s all we are going to continue to play in season 3 as the show evolves.”
Reid continued: “We are going to bring back characters from the seasons 1 and 2 – we will see them more and more. There are fun characters who are fun to see in the world of Colter [season to season]. “”
The tracker’s cast has been more successful in their meetings than their fictitious counterparts. Based on Jeffery Deaver’s novel, The Never Game, Tracker is centered on a survival called Colter (Justin Hartley) who travels the country to help people and the police to tackle a variety of mysteries. As the series takes place, viewers learn more about […]
Despite the potential changes, Reid clarified it would not be a “rotating door” team members.
“I think it changes. If I cannot make these characters evolve – Randy or Reenie or Bobby – they are not only people who pick up the phone and say: “Ok, here is the answer. This is when the show on the phone, “he said. “The challenge is when you learned about them, what I thought interesting. It is the challenge of the series is not to fall into a formula.”
Season 3 is not yet in production, But there are already some ideas be thrown around. The good news? Tracker “No Rules”, and that allowed him to grow each time that viewers return to Colter.
“The only rule I really have the show is that every week, Colter will come in a new place and there will be a new case. How he gets these answers and what he uses in the team is all that is to be won,” Taqué. “Meet these [local] Strange characters are something that we will try to do more over the season. Just Colter arrives and interacts with other characters. It is fun to see Justin flex these muscles with very good members of the invited distribution. »»
