So, here’s why Weigert is absent from Tracker Season 2.
Why Robin Weigert’s Teddi Bruin leave Tracker before Season 2?
Neither showrunners nor Weigert has given an official reason for her exit from Tracker before Season 2.
TV Line has officially confirmed that Weigert’s Teddi Bruin, who is a regular cast member will no longer return in Tracker Season 2. However, the outlet didn’t report any specific reason for her abrupt departure. It’s known that Teddi Bruin’s wife Velma, played by Abby Ecnany is set to return. Additionally, she will be taking “a very interesting role” in the upcoming season.
Generally, a regular member departs a beloved series for several factors, which can be personal or professional. For instance, at times, there are reasons concerning scheduling issues, creative differences, internal conflicts, payment issues, and more, which could lead to a potential exit. However, in Weigert’s case, the reason is yet to be disclosed.
Tracker Season 2 premiered on October 2024 and surprised viewers with the beloved character Teddi Bruin’s absence. However, soon her absence was notably addressed by her partner, Velma. Although the episode didn’t reveal much details on Bruin’s departure, it provided a concise answer for viewers.
Colter calls Velma and asks for Bruin. At that time, Velma explains that her wife is out of town, helping her mother get “sorted.” After this, Colter reminds Velma that she was supposed to juggle between home and Teddi’s current place. She responds by saying that she doesn’t want to get in the way, so she stays back and aids Colter with cases.
