Season 2 of Tracker allows Fiona Rene’s Reenie to grow beyond her connection to Justin Hartley’s character Colter.
“Obviously we’re building on Colter’s relationships and what he can do. We’re going to see more of him. But then for Reenie, we’re going to see her identity without Colter,” Rene, 36, told Us Weekly exclusively ahead of the latest episode, which airs Sunday, November 3. Rene is excited to learn more about Reenie, adding, “Before, people were like, ‘Who is she? What’s her relationship with him? Who is she when she’s with him? How can she help him?’ And while all of that is still true, now we’re seeing Reenie. Who is she, what’s her life, what does she care about, and where is she in her life?”
While the first season of Tracker needed to introduce people through their personal relationships with Colter, the CBS hit series is now expanding.
‘Tracker’ Season 2 Trailer Shows Justin Hartley Reuniting with Wife Sofia Pernas “We’ve only seen [Reenie] with him. Now you see her in her own office — which she helped design — and we see her love life and her interests,” Rene teased. “I think we can be really excited to see more of her as a personal relationship instead of just her and him.”
Tracker, which premiered in February, centers on Colter, a survivor who travels the country helping people and law enforcement solve various mysteries. He often gets help from a team across the country that includes his manager Velma (Abby McEnany), a hacker named Bobby (Eric Graise), and Reenie, who has been his lawyer for the past two seasons.
Reenie’s story develops early in season 2 when she opens her own law firm.
“I’m very impressed with Reenie. I’m not Reenie, and I’m trying my best to live up to her. I said WWRD [What would Reenie do],” Rene joked to Us. “Seeing her not only take care of herself, take care of the people she loves, and build a business, and try to have a relationship — that’s what the world expects of a woman. It’s hard to do that, and she’s doing it.”
She continued, “I’d like to see if there are any cracks along the way and how she holds it all together. But I’m really impressed with her. I think with the new agency, it’s given her a new sense of confidence that she doesn’t have to answer to someone about which cases are important and which aren’t. We’ll see more of that in the future.”
The change also allows Reenie to share the screen with Velma more. Rene hopes that as Tracker progresses, there will be more opportunities for everyone in Colter’s life to spend more time together.
Netflix’s ‘Virgin River’ Gets Early Renewal for Season 7 “While Colter was out there alone in the wild, our love for him brought us together and our love for what he did brought us together,” she reflected to Us. “This Tracker idea became Colter’s brainchild and we’re all trying to nurture it. So I think it brings Velma, Bobby and Reenie so much closer together that it would be silly not to see it [more].”
After the success of Tracker on CBS, the series scored itself a longer season with 22 episodes instead of 13. This led to more episodes where Colter reunites with his team – starting with Sunday’s episodes. According to the synopsis, Reenie enlists Colter to solve a case involving a woman who goes missing from a luxury wellness resort.
Rene previewed the episode for Us — and revealed how the case allows Reenie to get more involved, saying, “Reenie likes to surprise herself. In episode four, she gets down on the ground [to help] and she’s like, ‘Oh, okay. I can do this and I can do it in heels.’ It makes her feel confident and good and strong. So I’d love to see her do [more of that].”
Bringing Reenie to life over the past two seasons has Rene rooting for the character’s future.

I want to see who she leans on when she’s in trouble and when she’s not in control,” Rene told Us. “And I want to see her fall down and get back up again. That’s what I want to see from her.”
