Whereas talking with TV Line, showrunner Elwood Reid reveals {that a} spinoff will not be within the present’s greatest curiosity and so it will not be occurring simply but. Reid’s objection relies on his evaluation {that a} spinoff produced too early may doubtlessly hurt each collection. His feedback learn:
“
It’s so humorous as a result of all my mates are like, ‘You’ve obtained to start out excited about spinning it off.’ Second seasons are very laborious. I’ve seen this with reveals, the place they spin them off too early, then each reveals undergo. The present is so singular with Justin [at its center] that it’s actually necessary we hold increasing the world, increasing the circumstances and [expanding] what Tracker can do. In contrast to quite a lot of reveals — in contrast to a cop present in New York or Chicago, the place they’re all the time coping with a murder — I can go into any world. I can go into inventory automobile racing, I can go into Nashville, I can go into any world I would like.”
Reid’s objections to a derivative at the moment are shared by co-showrunner, Ken Olin. There exists vital potential with maybe a deep dive into the early years of Colter’s mother and father’ dealings with the federal government, a first-rate instance. With Supernatural‘s Jensen Ackles on board as Colter’s brother, Russell Shaw, and Blood and Treasure‘s Sofia Pernas visitor starring as rewardist, Billie Matalon, Tracker will not be missing in potential spinoff leads. Nonetheless, Olin means that given time, Tracker may very effectively be able to increase with a derivative.
“
Elwood and I, we’re fairly happy, too, by doing this [one show]. It’s a bizarre present to spin-off. But additionally, like, issues don’t break by simply anymore…. I imply, look, Dick Wolf has been very profitable and all that, however these [shows] are additionally how outdated now?”
The Solid For Season 2 Will Be Barely Completely different
Whereas speak of potential spinoffs is thrilling, particularly when Tracker is taken into account, nothing will kick off anytime quickly.

She’s obtained that large life change and, in a means, she groups up with Velma and also you’ll see quite a lot of the 2 of them working collectively, which is a extremely fascinating dynamic.”
