Fans of CBSâ Tracker may need to prepare themselves for a twist no one saw comingârumors are swirling that season 3 could feature a wedding storyline, one that ties directly into Colter Shawâs (Justin Hartley) complicated personal life.
The Whispers Behind the Scenes
According to an anonymous source close to the production, writers have been âtoying with the ideaâ of a wedding as an emotional anchor in the middle of the season. While Tracker has always focused on high-stakes rescues, missing persons, and action-packed investigations, insiders say season 3 will âlean harder into Colterâs emotional journey,â and nothing captures that better than a weddingâwhether itâs his, or someone close to him.
Whoâs Getting Married?
Speculation points in two directions:
-
Reenie Greene (Fiona Rene) â Colterâs sharp-witted legal aide and longtime ally has been rumored to get more personal storylines this season. Some fans believe Reenie could find herself walking down the aisle, and Colter, ever the reluctant loner, may struggle with what it means to lose his closest confidant to another man.
-
Colter Shaw himself â The juiciest rumor suggests Colter may finally drop his guard and reconnect with an old flame. One casting leak mentioned a âmysterious woman from Colterâs pastâ appearing mid-season. Could this woman return not just for closure, but for a second chance at love? Some fans even theorize that a Tracker wedding could serve as a cliffhanger: does Colter say âI do,â or does duty pull him away before he can?
Russell Shaw: Best Man or Party Crasher?
Adding to the speculation is Jensen Acklesâ Russell Shaw, who is confirmed to appear in the first two episodes of season 3. If Colter does get married, Russellâs involvement could add either heartfelt brotherly supportâor explosive family drama. Some fans joke that Russell giving a chaotic best-man speech might be the most entertaining subplot of the entire series.
Why a Wedding Works for Tracker
From a storytelling perspective, a wedding could be the perfect way to deepen Colterâs character. For two seasons, he has been portrayed as a drifter, a man untethered from roots or relationships. A marriage storyline, whether his or someone elseâs, forces him to confront the very thing he avoids most: permanence, family, and belonging.
The Big Question
Of course, CBS has made no comment, and these rumors remain unconfirmed. But given the showâs growing interest in exploring the Shaw familyâs secrets and Colterâs emotional scars, a wedding twist would be both shocking and narratively satisfying.
If true, season 3 could be remembered not just for its thrilling cases, but for the day Colter Shaw finally stopped runningâand said âI do.â
