Justin Hartley and Sofia Pernas have hinted at their return to ‘Tracker’
Justin Hartley and Sofia Pernas reunited on screen for an episode of CBS’ Tracker — and that’s just the beginning.
Tracker, which premiered in February 2024, centers on a survivalist named Colter (Hartley) who travels the country helping people and law enforcement solve various mysteries. As the series unfolds, viewers will learn more about how Colter’s past shapes his present life as a lone wolf who prefers to isolate himself from others.
The adaptation of Jeffery Deaver’s novel The Never Game allowed Hartley to star and executive produce the show alongside This Is Us producer and director Ken Olin.
Pernas first appeared in March 2024 as Billie, Colter’s ex-girlfriend who previously conned him out of a reward.
Every Time Justin Hartley and Wife Sofia Pernas Share the Screen “I love this role. I love everything about it. I’ve always loved playing strong women, and I think those roles find me, to be honest,” Pernas told People at the time. “I’ve never played a cheerleader. I don’t know why. I really wanted to play it, but I didn’t think I could play it.”
Pernas continued to share how she worked with Hartley on their characters’ relationship.
“We didn’t really have a script for kissing,” she explained to Entertainment Tonight that same month. “We did some test moments where I was like, are they kissing at this moment? It’s just because there’s so much history, so much tension, and there’s some life-threatening event that happened right before, so it was all pressure.”
Colter and Billie’s reunion exuded chemistry, but the fictional couple ultimately failed to make it work. However, Pernas doesn’t rule out the possibility that Colter and Billie could cross paths again in the future.
“I think she’s depressed because she’s hurt, and I think if she had dinner with him, she would have to address the pink elephant in the room inside herself and be like, ‘Oh my gosh, I really like this guy,'” Pernas noted to People. “I think she’s someone who probably doesn’t deal with her emotions as easily as she deals with other things.”

“Yes, Sofia is in episode 6. She’s a blast from the past. Colter had a relationship with her, and they used to run a bounty business together. And then she sold him down the river. It didn’t work out,” Hartley detailed to The Hollywood Reporter in February 2024. “There was a rift in their relationship, and she came back into his life for some reason, and they were forced to work together in a way to achieve a common goal.”
Hartley hinted that Billie would be more than just a regular guest star, adding, “When you get to episode six, you see this is way out of Colter’s comfort zone. There’s obviously an attraction there, but there’s something that’s very sad about it.”
