Regarding the success of the show, Hartley, 47, said that it's a relief. When you create something with your own taste profile and put it out there with all your heart, you hope that other people will find it appealing. Thus, it's been incredibly great, as quoted in a report by The New York Post.

Although Colter works alone, he is supported by a distant team that consists of his tech guy Bobby (Eric Graise), Teddi (Robin Weigert), Velma (Abby McEnany), and Reenie (Fiona Rene). He and his brother Russell Shaw's (Jensen Ackles) relationship is complex.

Even though the role hadn't been cast yet, we always planned for Russell Shaw to appear on the show. Hartley said that Jensen was trying to watch the game, but there were too many 'Tracker' commercials for him to handle. He just texted him to get his ugly mug off his screen.
