Tracker Season 3 Premiere Addresses Bobby and Velma’s Departures

The Season 3 premiere of CBS’s ‘Tracker,’ aired on October 19, 2025, addresses the absence of two key characters, Bobby (Eric Graise) and Velma (Abby McEnany), who are no longer series regulars. The episode opens with Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley) entangled in a bar brawl, prompted by revelations about his father’s death from the Season 2 finale. His brother Russ (Jensen Ackles) helps resolve the situation and connects with Reenie (Fiona Rene), who assigns them a new case involving a missing ex-wife and daughter. Reenie, now managing operations, works with Randy (Chris De’Sean Lee), Bobby’s cousin, who reveals Bobby has taken a high-paying job as an encryption specialist at a startup, leaving his repair shop role behind. Velma, meanwhile, is absent, focusing on her marriage with Teddi, who had left in Season 2 to visit her mother. Reenie hints at Velma’s potential return but notes her current focus on family. The episode sets up a complex case initially mistaken for a crypto scheme, pulling Colter and Russ into a larger mystery. New episodes air Sundays at 8 p.m. ET/PT, continuing to explore Colter’s personal and professional challenges.
