Tracker Star Fiona Rene Breaks Silence on Reaching Out to Former Costars After the Cast Shakeup

Tracker has been swapping pieces on the board since it premiered, and Fiona Rene just gave a candid update on who she still talks to, what it feels like to be the last original standing (besides Justin Hartley), and how the show is shifting behind the scenes.

So, is everyone still talking?

Short answer: yes. Rene said she recently caught up with Robin Weigert in person — Weigert swung by her place and they had tea. Abby McEnany is back in Chicago, but they still check in; McEnany texted Rene on her birthday. And Eric Graise? He and Rene have been keeping their friendship alive by trash-talking each other over rounds of Overcooked online. As far as post-exit vibes go, that all sounds pretty healthy.

The last OG standing (besides Hartley)

Rene — who plays Reenie — acknowledged she is now the only original cast member left besides star Justin Hartley. She is not moping about it. She called herself blessed to work with a crew that is great at their jobs and said the new costars have been a gift. Also: being called an OG? She thinks that label is fun.

Chris Lee moves up, tips his cap

Recent promotion alert: Chris Lee is now a series regular. He says the shift has been more emotional than logistical — the work was already a grind — and what has helped is camping out with the cast in Vancouver and just continuing the journey. He also shouted out Rene for showing the way in those early days.

Quick status check

• Still in: Justin Hartley and Fiona Rene.
• Newly bumped up: Chris Lee is now a series regular.
• Out: Robin Weigert departed after serving as a series regular in Season 1; Abby McEnany and Eric Graise are also leaving.
• Context: The show launched in 2024 and has been adjusting its lineup ever since.

What the EP says is changing

Executive producer Elwood Reid laid out the plan earlier this year: keep evolving or get stale. He does not want Reenie, Randy, or Bobby showing up just to spit out answers on a phone call. He wants the characters to grow and for the cases to avoid the rinse-and-repeat trap.

"The only rule I really have of the show is each week Colter is going to come to a new place and there is going to be a new case. How he gets those answers and what he uses on the team, that is all something that is up for grabs."

Reid added they will lean into introducing more offbeat locals as the season rolls on — basically tossing Justin Hartley into new dynamics with strong guest stars and letting him play.

How Hartley runs the set

Both Rene and Lee made it clear: Hartley is not just the lead, he is the pace car. Lee called him the best leader he has worked with — on top of everything, invested in the day-to-day, and setting a professional-but-low-maintenance tone. He even likened their scenes together to a buddy setup: big bro/little bro energy, very Rush Hour.

Rene doubled down on his work ethic. Her words: he lives and breathes this show. They joked recently that Hartley used to have a social life — "I used to have a life. I used to have friends." But the serious part is that he reviews scenes at home, shows up prepared, and, as an executive producer, gives thoughtful notes on moments that are not landing. By her account, he is generous with that feedback and hands-on in the right ways.

Tracker airs on CBS Sundays at 9 p.m. ET.
