Tracker fans have been waiting weeks to see Bobby Exley return to the show. CBS has finally shared when we can expect Eric Graise’s character back on the program and what’s in store for Colter Shaw and the rest of the gang.
If you’ve been on the edge of your seat waiting to see Bobby again, you’re not alone. Eric Graise’s portrayal of the sharp-witted, wheelchair-bound tech genius in Tracker quickly became a fan favorite. His absence in parts of the show didn’t go unnoticed—but don’t worry, we’ve got the scoop on his epic return in Season 2. Let’s dive into everything you need to know about Bobby’s comeback, what it means for the show, and why Tracker Season 2 might just be the best one yet.
When Is Bobby Returning to ‘Tracker’?
According to photos released by CBS, Bobby is set to return to Tracker in season 2, episode 16, titled “The Mercy Seat.” The episode is set to air on CBS on April 13, 2025, at 8 p.m. ET. It will also stream on Paramount+.
The tech wiz was seen in one photo from the upcoming episode sitting at a computer desk while his cousin Randy stood above him. Bobby was seen wearing a black bomber jacket, a red hat and a patterned hoodie in the picture from season 2, episode 16. It’s exciting to see that he and Randy will finally have a scene together after getting to learn more about Randy and his bond with Bobby. “Colter helps an old friend with a search and rescue mission for two missing sisters in the snowy Montana wilderness,” the summary of the episode said. “Meanwhile, Reenie gets a visit from a new client that challenges her morality.” By the looks of the trailer for season 2, episode 16, Colter’s next mission will involve a lot of snow. The survivalist will be suiting up to enter the “Deadzone Wilderness” in what fans can expect to be an exciting episode.
Bobby’s return to Tracker Season 2 is more than just a character comeback—it’s a sign that the show is listening to its fans and evolving. Eric Graise brings authenticity, charm, and brilliance to Bobby, and we can’t wait to see him back in action. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the show, Bobby’s reappearance promises an exciting twist and deeper layers to the Tracker universe. Don’t miss it.
Randy Will Also Appear in Season 2, Episode 16. Randy was seen in the trailer for the upcoming episode talking to somebody on the phone. He had an article pulled up on his computer screen about the “Deadzone Wilderness” and some of the crazy things that have happened there. It seems like Colter is in for a wild ride, combating the wintery weather and more in the upcoming season 2, episode 16. Randy was first brought onto the team in season 2 to fill in for Bobby in episodes 10-15 of Tracker. Randy and Colter previously revealed that Bobby was out of office to deal with family issues. They explained during a phone call that Bobby had to step away from work to attend his friend’s funeral, and his friend was like a brother to him. Colter understood that Bobby needed time to grieve but hoped he would eventually come back to the job soon. Many were excited when they saw that a clip of Bobby was featured in the midseason trailer, hoping the clip was from a new episode. The clip in question was actually from an old episode, but alas, Bobby will officially be returning to the show after his hiatus.
