'Tracker' Casting: Will This Character Return to the TV Show? The Star Is Speaking Out!
Tracker is returning on Sunday night (February 16) on CBS at 8 p.m. ET.
The hit TV series centers around Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley), who travels the country in his old-school RV, helping police and private citizens solve crimes and locate missing persons–until his latest case changes everything.
Fans are wondering about the whereabouts of one actor in the series, who recently wrapped filming on a show on another network.

Melissa Roxburgh would like to reprise her role as Dory, Colter’s sister!
Last year, Justin said not to anticipate her return in the first half of Season 2: “Melissa is busy on her show, The Hunting Party — which, by the way, [is] like right across the street from us. But I feel like she ends [her season] way before we do. So I think if we pick that story back up this year, I think it would be more towards the end of Season 2.”
She finished filming NBC‘s The Hunting Party back in November, which is airing now. As a result, she could potentially return!
Melissa guest starred in the show’s 11th episode last May, right before Jensen Ackles debuted as Colter and Dory’s brother, Russell. While Jensen returned earlier in this season, Melissa hasn’t…yet.
In a new interview with TVLine, she was asked if she’d make a return to Tracker.
“I hope so. It was such a good set and Justin’s obviously wonderful, so I hope Dory makes a reappearance. There’s a lot of different ways they could go with the character,” she said.
“Dory has some secrets,” she went on to say. “She’s not being forthcoming about things, so I want to know what happens there, and I want to know what happened to the Dad… all those answers.”
She also pointed out that she’d like to return at the same time as Jansen.
“One of my first jobs ever was with Jensen, on Supernatural,” she added, “so it’d be a nice ‘full circle’ moment.”
Last year, executive producer Elwood Reid also hinted: “We’ll unpeel some more stuff with [Colter’]s sister” in the second season.
