It’s going to be a big night for fans of Wendy Crewson. The actress will star in two major season finales, which will air on Sunday, May 11. She stars on CBS’ hit show Tracker and Great American Family’s When Hope Calls. Wendy Crewson is no stranger to stealing the spotlight, but this time, she’s doubled down. With back-to-back powerhouse performances in the finales of Tracker and When Hope Calls, Crewson proves she’s not just a legend — she’s a force of nature. Let’s unpack this unforgettable weekend, explore what made her performances stand out, and why audiences everywhere are buzzing about Wendy Crewson.
Family Reunion On Tracker Season 2 Finale
Tracker fans are desperate to learn more about the death of Colter Shaw’s (Justin Hartley) father’s death. The character has gone through a lot this season. Not only has he been focused on this case, but he’s also juggling other cases. The Season 2 finale could answer fans’ burning questions. The episode is titled “Echo Ridge,” which references Colter’s hometown.
According to the official synopsis, “Colter returns to Echo Ridge to investigate a diner owner’s disappearance to uncover a decades-old kidnapping and a shocking family secret.” It’s possible that there will be a Shaw family reunion. In Crewson’s interview with Digital Journal, she teased what’s to come in the Season 2 finale. Crewson plays Colter’s mother, Mary Dove Shaw. “Wait until y’all see the finale. We just shot it in Vancouver; it is great! Buckle up,” she said before adding, “It is so great working with Justin Harley and Ken Olin; they are both fantastic.” Joining When Hope Calls Season 2
Crewson will also star in the Season 2 finale of When Hope Calls. The When Calls the Heart spinoff returned this month on the Great American Family. In the drama, Crewson plays Tessa Stewart. During the interview, she admitted that she loves playing a “mean” woman. “She is grumpy and doesn’t have to wear a dress,” Crewson joked.
The actress also shared her thoughts on the Season 2 finale. “I hope viewers feel a sense of community as we did up there. It was a real family, and I hope they get that same sense from it,” Crewson explained. But then she joked, “I did this mainly for the wardrobe.”
Crewson had “fun” filming with the cast. She felt comfortable returning to the set after the show’s hiatus. “We’ve been doing it for some years now, and it feels like you are doing summer theater with your best friends. You are up there in North Bay, and it’s always a beautiful set with great clothes, and everyone is sweet,” she gushed.
She hopes that Great American Family will renew When Hope Calls for Season 3. The spinoff could provide more storylines for its additional characters. “I am thrilled that Great American Family picked up this show,” Crewson said. It’s a good show, and it needed a home. This series is different enough to stand on its own.”
The Tracker Season 2 finale, “Echo Ridge,” airs on CBS Sunday, May 11, at 8 p.m. New episodes will stream the following day on Paramount+. Meanwhile, When Hope Calls Season 2 will also air at 8 p.m. on Great American Family and are available to stream on. Wendy Crewson didn’t just appear in two finales — she owned them. Her dual performances in Tracker and When Hope Calls showcase everything we love about great acting: honesty, depth, and emotional resonance. If you’re not watching Wendy Crewson right now, you’re missing out on one of TV’s finest. These two finales weren’t just episodes — they were masterclasses. And Wendy? She was the star of the show.
