Tracker Season 4 Repilots Series as Production Moves to LA
Showrunner Elwood Reid says the CBS drama is being rebuilt "on every level," with Jensen Ackles returning as a guest star.
Tracker season 4 is moving production from Vancouver to Los Angeles, and showrunner Elwood Reid says the creative team is treating the shift as a chance to start over. According to ScreenRant, Reid described the new season as essentially repiloting the series "on every level," including the look of the show.
The relocation is reflected in the story: the season 4 premiere places Colter Shaw in California for a case involving a dangerous smuggling mission out of the port.
Several cast members return for season 4, including Fiona Rene, Chris Lee, Sofia Pernas and Cassady McClincy Zhang. McClincy Zhang has been promoted to series regular.
Jensen Ackles also returns in a guest appearance as Colter's brother Russell.
A shift away from the family storyline
Reid said the first three seasons of Tracker "did the family stuff." In the season 3 ending, Ackles' Russell began working for DARPA to keep a dark family secret from his brother.
