Why Jensen Ackles’ black ops show is the best Tracker spinoff possibility
Russell Shaw can build on the Shaw family mystery with an action premise
A Tracker Spinoff with Jensen Ackles at its center could expand on Russell’s work with the Horizon Group while building the mystery of the Shaw family. So far, Russell has been vague about what his work for the Horizon Group looks like. A series focused on Russell could expand on the details of his career In a procedural format that has a blend of serialized elements, like Hartley’s show. The Ackles spinoff could follow Russell on his missions worldwide, placing him in various social and cultural environments. That’s why Tracker Showrunners say is an asset to Colter but also applies to Russell.
Of course, if Tracker Showrunners decide to expand the franchise with a Black Ops spinoff focused on the Shaw family mystery led by Ackles, Hartley would have to guest star similarly as Ackles makes appearances on Tracker In seasons 1 and 2. Introducing more of Russell’s government connections and secret missions would be different from Colter’s work, without straying from the mystery of Ashton Shaw that drives the series. In fact, Russell proves that he can add to it. The most important risk of a Tracker Spinoff with ankles at the helm is that it can overshadow Trackers story as it unfolds.
