Tracker<\/em><\/a> is constantly undergoing casting changes \u2014 and bringing in epic guest stars \u2014 so would One Chicago\u2019s Jesse Lee Soffer<\/strong><\/a> and Tracy Spiridakos<\/strong><\/a> be open for a cameo?<\/p>\n

\u201cAbsolutely, yeah,\u201d Spiridakos, 38, exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em> on Tuesday, March 3, after being told she\u2019s on Us<\/em>\u2019 dream \u201cwishlist<\/a>\u201d of actors to costar with Tracker lead Justin Hartley<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Soffer, 41, was equally as excited about the idea, telling Us<\/em> he\u2019d \u201cabsolutely\u201d sign up for a guest-starring role if asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cJustin\u2019s a great guy, too. He\u2019s a lovely dude,\u201d Soffer gushed. \u201cThat would be a lot of fun, actually.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\t\t\tWith Tracker losing three main cast members before season 3, there is potential for new \u2014 and even some familiar faces \u2014 to join Justin Hartley\u2018s show. Tracker, which debuted in 2024, introduced Us to survivalist Colter Shaw (Hartley) as he travels the country to help find missing people, track down information on criminal cases [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

While the duo have yet to work out a deal to make an appearance on Tracker<\/em> \u2014 either together or separately \u2014 they are no strangers to working in a high-intensity, jam-packed drama series.<\/p>\n

As fans of Chicago P.D.<\/em><\/a> know, Soffer starred as Detective Jay Halstead<\/a> from the show\u2019s premiere in 2014 to 2022. He went on to play FBI agent Wes Mitchell on FBI: International<\/em> in 2024 before it was canceled the following year<\/a> after four seasons.<\/p>\n

Spiridakos, meanwhile, joined the cast of Chicago P.D.<\/em> during season 4 in 2017 as Hailey Upton. She began as part of Halstead\u2019s Intelligence Unit, run by Sergeant Hank Voight (Jason Beghe<\/strong>). Eventually, Upton and Halstead became more than partners, tying the knot during season 9.<\/p>\n

When Soffer left the show during season 10, Halstead was still married to Upton. After ghosting her for some time, Upton filed for divorce \u2014 which Halstead was not present on camera for \u2014 prior to Spiridakos\u2019 exit from the series in 2024.<\/p>\n

Soffer and Spiridakos, who are dating in real life, reprised their Chicago P.D.<\/em> roles during the three-part One Chicago crossover event on Wednesday, March 4.<\/p>\n

At the end of the episode, they decided to go for drinks, hinting that their love story might not be over yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know if it\u2019s a new beginning, but I think it\u2019s opened the door to have further conversations,\u201d Spiridakos exclusively told Us<\/em> earlier this month<\/a> of Halstead and Upton\u2019s reunion. \u201cThat the end moment between them is like, \u2018OK, I will accept a conversation.\u2019 And that\u2019s about as far as she can go.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actress teased that she and Soffer are more than willing to return to Chicago P.D.<\/em><\/a> for the right story line, with Soffer telling Us<\/em> that it would be \u201cpretty cool\u201d to even do a spinoff about their characters.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, hopefully they will cross over to Tracker<\/em>, which is a show used to personnel changes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The CBS series premiered in February 2024, following Hartley\u2019s Colter Shaw, a survivalist who uses his instincts to track down missing people, solve cases and collect rewards.<\/p>\n

The ensemble cast included handlers Teddi (Robin Weigert<\/strong>) and Velma (Abby McEnany<\/strong>), hacker Bobby (Eric Graise<\/strong>) and attorney Reenie (Fiona Rene<\/strong>). Jensen Ackles<\/strong> was later introduced as Colter\u2019s brother, Russell Shaw.<\/p>\n

Weigert, McEnany and Graise have since been written off the show. Executive producer Elwood Reid<\/strong> exclusively told Us<\/em> in May 2025 that fans shouldn\u2019t worry<\/a> about the switches. (In Graise\u2019s absence, Chris Lee<\/strong> was brought in to play new hacker, Randy.)<\/p>\n

\u201cI do think it\u2019s evolving. If I can\u2019t evolve those characters \u2014 Randy or Reenie or Bobby \u2014 they\u2019re not just people that just pick up the phone and go, \u2018OK, here is the answer.\u2019 That\u2019s when the show is phoning it in,\u201d Reid explained. \u201cThe challenge is when you got to learn about them, which I thought was interesting. That\u2019s the challenge of the show is not having it fall into a formula.\u201d<\/p>\n

That same month, Hartley\u2019s former This Is Us<\/em> costars teased that they might make cameos on Tracker<\/em> in the future \u2014 adding to the hype around the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cJustin is always trying to get me to go to Vancouver,\u201d Sterling K. Brown<\/strong> exclusively told Us<\/em><\/a> in December 2025. \u201cI\u2019ll go in the summer \u2014 not during the winter [months].\u201d<\/p>\n

Mandy Moore<\/strong> added that she would \u201cdo anything\u201d for Hartley, but revealed she had not been officially asked to come on the show.<\/p>\n
