CBS, Showrunner Elwood Reid, and series star/executive producer Justin Hartley's Tracker kicked off its third season with a two-episode opener that reunited Colter and his brother, Russell , as they looked to shed more light on their family's dark past.
During a post-episode interview with TV Line, Reid dropped some interesting insights into S03E02: 'Leverage,' as well as the possibility of a spinoff series spotlighting Ackles' Russell and his military background. First up, Reid rolled out a reveal about the scene where Colter and Russell fake Russell's death that we're pretty sure will gets fans' attention. 'We shot a whole bit where they argued about how to fake the death,' Reid revealed. 'Russell's the 'I've done this before' guy, while Colter's trying to do everything by the book. It was funny, but we had to cut it for time. The ketchup shot said it all — and it's perfectly on-brand for Russell.' Looks like it's time to get that social media campaign going to get that footage released. As for what the future might hold for Russell Shaw, Reid and Hartley have both made it clear that they would love to have Ackles back as often as possible. But what about a spinoff? 'We're cautious. 'Tracker' is Justin 's show, and we never want to do anything that cheapens it. That said, Russell's military background opens the door to a very different kind of series — one that plays to Jensen's strengths,' Reid explained. As for what Russell had to share near the end of the episode, Reid concedes that they were trying to nudge the hand of fate a bit. 'We didn't even ask for permission,' Reid said. 'We just put it in there. As the kids say, I'm manifesting it. It could be a lot of fun if the timing ever lines up.'
