With Tracker rapidly climbing the ranks as one of CBS's most successful recent dramas, talk of a spinoff seems not only possible but inevitable. While Tracker thrives on its gripping cases and rugged central character, the season 2 premiere introduced a compelling new storyline that could serve as the foundation for the franchise’s first standalone series — and it all centers on Reenie Greene.
A Fresh Direction: From Tracking Clues to Courtrooms
The main narrative of Tracker follows Colter Shaw, a lone-wolf survivalist and expert tracker played by Justin Hartley. Hired by individuals and law enforcement alike, Colter roams the country solving high-stakes mysteries with the help of his close-knit team: Teddi and Velma Bruin, Bobby Exley, and Reenie Greene. While the show revolves around Colter’s intense missions, it’s the evolving dynamics within his team that give the series emotional depth — and Reenie’s arc, in particular, has started to outgrow its original framework.
In the season 1 finale, Reenie made a bold move: she quit her job. Season 2 opens with her taking the first steps toward launching her own law firm, and this development doesn’t feel like a throwaway subplot — it feels like the beginning of something much bigger. Paired with Velma, who joins her in this new chapter, Reenie is poised to take on her own cases, build her own legacy, and maybe, just maybe, lead her own show.
Why Reenie’s Law Firm Is a Spinoff Waiting to Happen
Reenie Greene, played by Fiona Rene, has been one of Tracker’s most grounded and multifaceted characters. While her romantic tension with Colter adds intrigue, it’s her legal prowess and relentless pursuit of justice that make her a standout. Now that she’s striking out on her own, the story practically writes itself: a tenacious attorney forging a new path, tackling emotionally charged and high-stakes legal battles while navigating the challenges of running a firm from the ground up.
What makes this potential spinoff even more appealing is the partnership between Reenie and Velma. Velma, known for her quirky charm and fierce loyalty, complements Reenie’s sharp intellect and no-nonsense demeanor. Their chemistry in the season 2 premiere was electric, offering a dynamic that could carry an entire show. Together, they bring humor, grit, and a fresh perspective that would differentiate the spinoff from the original series.
A New World With Familiar Threads
Launching a spinoff based on Reenie’s law firm doesn’t mean severing ties with Tracker. In fact, a smartly crafted spinoff could remain firmly embedded in the same universe. Colter Shaw could pop in as a client, or the firm could take on cases that intersect with his investigations. These occasional crossovers would keep the continuity intact while allowing each show to develop its own tone and focus.
Moreover, a legal drama built around Reenie could explore a different side of justice — one not governed by the wilds of nature and survival tactics, but by the complexities of the courtroom, moral dilemmas, and social issues. It would be a natural extension of the Tracker brand while broadening its thematic scope.
Capitalizing on Momentum and Demand
Given the overwhelming positive response to Tracker, CBS would be wise to strike while the iron is hot. The audience is already invested in these characters, and Reenie’s transition into an entrepreneurial attorney provides a narrative bridge into new territory. Viewers who love the character-driven aspects of Tracker would likely follow Reenie’s journey with enthusiasm, while fans of legal dramas would be drawn to the new format.
Even though CBS has yet to confirm any plans for a spinoff, the groundwork has clearly been laid. Reenie’s storyline in season 2 doesn’t feel incidental — it feels intentional. It opens up a world of new characters, conflicts, and opportunities, all while keeping one foot in the Tracker universe.
A Franchise in the Making
From the very beginning, Tracker has balanced action with emotional storytelling. Now, with the introduction of Reenie’s new chapter, the series has an opportunity to expand into a broader franchise. Reenie Greene is more than a supporting character — she’s a leading lady in the making. With her intelligence, integrity, and newfound independence, she’s ready to anchor her own series.
Whether she’s arguing in court, mentoring young attorneys, or navigating the blurred lines between personal loyalty and professional duty, Reenie’s story has all the ingredients of a compelling legal drama. If CBS is looking for the next big thing to build on Tracker’s momentum, they need to look no further than the new law firm already taking root.
