Tracker brought in someone new to fill Velma’s place after season 3 introduced several surprising cast exits.
During the Sunday, November 2, episode of the hit CBS series, Reenie (Fiona Rene) interviewed several candidates to take over for Velma (Abby McEnany) before landing on a student named Mel. The newcomer was a fan of Reenie’s career, expressed interest in her work with Colter (Justin Hartley) and surprised Us with a revelation about her mother’s unsolved murder.
The dynamic continued to play out after Mel was officially hired, which is when she met Randy (Chris Lee). Mel’s addition to the show comes after Tracker wrote off multiple main characters in the season 3 premiere last month.
Reenie acknowledged Velma’s absence, telling Randy in the October episode, “Honestly, I have no idea. She went to go see [her wife] Teddi. She’s trying to save her marriage. I have a whole bunch of resumes to review this week.”
‘Tracker’ Family Guide: Meet Justin Hartley’s Colter, More After Cast Exits
Randy, meanwhile, received a text from cousin Bobby (Eric Graise).
“Thx. Miss u 2. Tell the gang I say hi,” read the message. Randy elaborated on Bobby’s offscreen exit, saying, “He’s killing it. He quit his job officially at the repair shop and now he is some encryption specialist at a new startup.”
Randy continued: “Between the stock options and the salary, he is bringing home the bacon.”
Tracker, which premiered in February 2024, introduced fictional survivalist Colter (Hartley) as he travels the country to help solve various missing persons cases. As Colter has received more and more help, the ensemble cast has grown with their respective characters, includinghandlers Teddi (Robin Weigert) and Velma, hacker Bobby and attorney Reenie.
After joining Tracker in season 1, Weigert’s character was written off in the premiere with her wife, Velma, admitting that they needed some distance. Velma then started working with Reenie and Teddi wasn’t discussed again in season 2.
“[Teddi] is going to be there for a while. She is helping her mom get sorted. I was getting in the way you might say and it really wasn’t good,” Velma said at the beginning of season 2. “So I came back. Don’t you worry because I am keeping busy.”
Season 2 then caused some to be concerned about when Graise was noticeably absent from six episodes. News later broke that Graise and McEnany wouldn’t be coming back — at least for now.
“I do think it’s evolving. If I can’t evolve those characters — Randy or Reenie or Bobby — they’re not just people that just pick up the phone and go, ‘OK, here is the answer.’ That’s when the show is phoning it in,” executive producer Elwood Reid exclusively told Us Weekly in May. “The challenge is when you got to learn about them, which I thought was interesting. That’s the challenge of the show is not having it fall into a formula.”
Which ‘Tracker’ Stars Have Left Justin Hartley’s CBS Show So Far?
Reid noted that they didn’t want Tracker to “fall into complacency.”
“The only rule I really have of the show is each week Colter is going to come to a new place and there’s going to be a new case. How he gets those answers and what he uses on the team, that’s all something that’s up for grabs,” Reid teased. “Meeting these [local] weird characters is something we’re going to try to do more of as the season goes on. Just Colter coming in and interacting with other characters. That’s fun to see Justin flex those muscles with really good guest cast members.”
Ahead of season 3, Reid defended the decision to shake up the show.
“Justin has to carry so much of the show. So I don’t want the other characters that are in the show to just be phone-a-friend where whenever he’s in trouble, he just picks up the phone. The challenge in season 3 has been how do we build actual good story out of [it],” Reid teased.
He continued: “It’s just building out those story lines. The challenge we set up for ourselves this season was to build out those people’s world a little bit. It’s about trying to get a little bit of lightness [into the show] because sometimes Colter is doing some really dark and heavy stuff. It’s life or death.”
Tracker airs on CBS Sundays at 8 p.m. ET before streaming the next day on Paramount+.

Britney Spears seemingly deactivated her Instagram account amid a public battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline.
Originally reported on by People on Sunday, November 2, Us Weekly confirmed that the account held by Spears, 43, could no longer be found that day.
Us has reached out to a representative for Spears for comment.
The alleged deactivation comes after a string of controversial claims from Federline regarding Spears’ behavior while raising the pair’s two children, Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19.
Britney Spears and Kevin Federline’s Timeline: From Divorce to Coparenting
The news also comes less than one week after a restaurant manager exclusively told Us that the singer was not acting erratically while out for dinner in Westlake Village, California, one day prior — despite a report from the Daily Mail that claimed otherwise.
Additionally, an Instagram post shared by Spears on October 7 sparked concern after the pop star was seen with “bruises on her arms and bandages wrapped around her hands and wrists,” per People’s report on Sunday.
The outlet noted that Spears’ caption on the video included details of how she had “fallen down stairs” at a friend’s house, and also offered insight into her headspace. “My boys had to leave and go back to Maui. This is the way I express myself and pray through art … father who art in heaven,” the caption reportedly read. “I’m not here for concern or pity, I just want to be a good woman and be better … and I do have wonderful support, so have a brilliant day !!!”
Britney Spears’ Dating History: From Kevin Federline to Sam Asghari
Of the stair incident, Spears wrote, per the outlet, “It was horrible. It snaps out now and then, not sure if it’s broken but for now it’s snapped in !!! Thank u god.”
Spears’ restaurant outing came one day after Federline released his memoir, You Thought You Knew. The book features several damning claims, while the professional dancer’s promotional tour also delved into his allegations.
The Daily Mail had reported that on October 22, Spears and her assistant had dined at the Mexican restaurant before the singer “dangerously” sped back to her home in nearby Thousand Oaks. However, Oliver Wynn, the restaurant’s general manager, exclusively told Us that the recount was not “fair, realistic or true.”
He told Us, “I was there and attended to Britney and her friend. She was super chill and really nice. She was in and out of the restaurant within an hour. She just kind of hung out, grabbed a bite to eat and left.”

Wynn added that Spears sat in the eatery’s lounge and cocktail area where she ordered “a quesadilla and no alcohol,” before detailing that “another guest or fan bought her a glass of wine at the bar and brought it over to her table — she was not intoxicated.”
One day after the restaurant outing, Federline appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored where he claimed that Preston and Jayden have distanced themselves from their mother. “[Britney] saw one of my sons one day this year, and he decided not to go back over there because of what he saw,” he told the host at the time. “The other one, Jayden, who’s my younger son, is 19 now. He’s been over there quite a few times over the past year, and he’s stopped seeing her in the last few months because of the situation.”
Federline’s book also claimed that Spears, who was married to him from 2004 to 2007, did cocaine while she was a breast-feeding mother amid other accusations. Spears slammed the book’s allegations in a statement shared with Us by her rep ahead of the book’s launch on October 14. “With news from Kevin’s book breaking, once again he and others are profiting off her, and sadly it comes after child support has ended with Kevin. All she cares about are her kids, Sean Preston and Jayden James, and their well-being during this sensationalism,” the statement read.

ABUJA, Nigeria — U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday said he’s ordered the Pentagon to begin planning for potential military action in Nigeria as he stepped up his allegations that the government is failing to rein in the persecution of Christians in the West African country.
The president also warned that he “will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria.”
“If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing,’ to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities,” Trump posted on social media. “I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians!”
The warning came after Nigeria’s President Bola Ahmed Tinubu earlier on Saturday pushed back on Trump announcing a day earlier that he was designating the West African country “a country of particular concern” for allegedly failing to rein in the persecution of Christians.
In a social media statement on Saturday, Tinubu said that the characterization of Nigeria as a religiously intolerant country does not reflect the national reality.
“Religious freedom and tolerance have been a core tenet of our collective identity and shall always remain so,” Tinubu said. “Nigeria opposes religious persecution and does not encourage it. Nigeria is a country with constitutional guarantees to protect citizens of all faiths.”
Trump on Friday said “Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria” and “radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter.”
Trump’s comment came weeks after U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz urged Congress to designate Africa’s most populous country as a violator of religious freedom with claims of “Christian mass murder.”
Nigeria’s population of 220 million is split almost equally between Christians and Muslims. The country has long faced insecurity from various fronts including the Boko Haram extremist group, which seeks to establish its radical interpretation of Islamic law and has also targeted Muslims it deems not Muslim enough.
Attacks in Nigeria have varying motives. There are religiously motivated ones targeting both Christians and Muslims, clashes between farmers and herders over dwindling resources, communal rivalries, secessionist groups and ethnic clashes.
While Christians are among those targeted, analysts say the majority of victims of armed groups are Muslims in Nigeria’s Muslim-majority north, where most attacks occur.
Kimiebi Ebienfa, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, reiterated the commitment of Nigeria to protect citizens of all religions.
“The Federal Government of Nigeria will continue to defend all citizens, irrespective of race, creed, or religion,” Ebienfa said in a statement on Saturday. “Like America, Nigeria has no option but to celebrate the diversity that is our greatest strength.”
Nigeria was placed on the country of particular concern list by the U.S. for the first time in 2020 over what the State Department called “systematic violations of religious freedom.” The designation, which did not single out attacks on Christians, was lifted in 2023 in what observers saw as a way to improve ties between the countries ahead of then-Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s visit.
