Big Changes Coming to Tracker: Two Fan Favorites Exit the Series

If you’ve been glued to your screen following Colter Shaw’s wild adventures in CBS’ Tracker, you might want to sit down for this. Two key members of the cast — Eric Graise and Abby McEnany — have officially exited the show, and fans are having feelings. Big ones. The Tracker universe is shifting, and whether you're a casual viewer or a die-hard trackerhead, you're probably wondering what this means for the future of the breakout drama.

So let’s break it down. Who left, why it matters, what the show looks like now, and how this changes everything for Season 3. Grab your coffee and your magnifying glass. We’re diving in.

Who Are Eric Graise and Abby McEnany in Tracker?

Before we talk about the shakeup, let’s give some credit where it’s due.

Eric Graise played Bobby Exley, the tech genius and wheelchair-using hacker who essentially kept Colter from wandering off cliffs or getting scammed by fake clients. He added both humor and heart to the show and was a fan favorite for his sharp wit and unwavering loyalty.

Abby McEnany played Velma Bruin, the no-nonsense legal eagle who kept Colter’s chaotic cases within the boundaries of the law. Velma was the definition of tough love, and her deadpan delivery made her scenes some of the best of the series.

So yeah, this is a big deal.

The Shocking Exit: Why Are They Leaving?

CBS struck gold with this procedural drama, and it’s rare to see major cast shakeups when the numbers are that good. So why are Graise and McEnany walking away from a hit?

CBS hasn’t offered a dramatic scandal-filled explanation. No behind-the-scenes feuds or tabloid-worthy tantrums (that we know of). According to reports, their departures are creative decisions, which is Hollywood-speak for “the writers are going in a new direction.” Whether that means budget trimming, character arcs wrapping up, or plans to overhaul the show’s tone — we’ll leave that to your conspiracy theories.

The official word is they won’t be returning for Season 3. Which leaves us with a very different version of Tracker moving forward.

What This Means for Tracker Season 3

With Eric Graise and Abby McEnany gone, the main cast now boils down to just two regulars — Justin Hartley as Colter Shaw and Fiona Rene as Reenie Greene. That’s a lean team, even by procedural standards.

Without Bobby’s tech support and Velma’s legal muscle, Colter might be more of a lone wolf than ever. This could signal a darker, grittier turn for the show. Or maybe CBS wants to shift toward a more action-packed, less ensemble-driven format. Either way, fans should brace for a noticeable tonal shift.

It’s also worth watching to see who fills the void. Will new characters be introduced? Will Reenie take on more of a leading role? Are we headed for a reboot-within-a-series kind of Season 3?

Is This the Beginning of the End?

Not necessarily. Remember, Tracker is still a top-rated series, and Justin Hartley remains a huge draw. The show has strong legs, and CBS isn’t known for giving up on its juggernauts without a fight.

That said, a shrinking cast and a shifting tone can sometimes spell trouble if not handled correctly. Tracker now faces the challenge of keeping its storytelling fresh and its fans invested without two of its most charismatic characters.

This is a pivotal moment for the show. It could evolve into something even better. Or it could fall victim to the dreaded third-season slump. Their absence will be felt, not just in the scripts but in the chemistry that made Tracker more than your average procedural. As Season 3 rolls in, fans should keep an eye out for new characters, storyline shifts, and how the remaining cast steps up. Will Reenie become the new fan favorite? Will Colter finally get a real love interest that sticks around for more than one episode? Will CBS regret cutting two of its sharpest characters? Only time will tell. But for now, pour one out for Bobby and Velma. Tracker just won’t be the same without them.
