Melissa Roxburgh is ready for a Shaw family reunion in CBS’s hit series Tracker.
The actress, who gained fame for her role in Manifest, appeared as a guest star on an episode of Season 1 of Tracker last May. In this episode, she portrayed Dory Shaw, the younger sister of the main character Colter Shaw, played by Justin Hartley.
Dory and Colter were depicted reuniting at the University of Wyoming, where Dory holds a position as a professor. Coincidentally, this was the same university where Colter was investigating the disappearance of a student. Their distant relationship became evident during their initial conversation, as Dory criticized her brother for avoiding her calls. Nevertheless, they gradually connected over shared family secrets.
Now that we’re halfway through Tracker Season 2, Roxburgh agreed that it might be time for Colter and Dory to have a reunion.
During an interview with DECIDER to promote her new NBC show The Hunting Party, the actress mentioned the possibility of returning to the show. She expressed uncertainty about the timeline and storyline for her character’s return but indicated that there are discussions about her reprising her role in the future.
Dory set the stage for a third Shaw sibling when she urged Colter to reach out to him in Season 1, Episode 11. At the time, Colter said he had “nothing to say” to his older brother Russell Shaw (Jensen Ackles), who ultimately made his debut in the following episode and returned to the show for Season 2, Episode 2.
While Colter has reunited with both of his siblings on separate occasions, fans have yet to see all three of them in the same room together. But Roxburgh is holding out hope that it will happen someday!
“I think that’d be so fun because actually one of my first roles was on Supernatural working with Jensen,” she said, referring to her work on two episodes of the long-running WB series. “So now that it’s been some time passed, I think it’d be fun to work together again.”
In the meantime, Roxburgh is staying booked and busy with her new crime procedural show The Hunting Party, which follows her character, FBI agent Rebecca “Bex” Henderson, as she hunts down the world’s worst serial killers after they’ve escaped from a top-secret prison.
The Hunting Party premieres Monday, Feb. 3 at 10/9c on NBC, while new episodes of Tracker air Sunday nights at 9/8c on CBS.
