Jon Huertas Tracker SR Exclusive
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary The latest installment of CBS' new crime drama, Tracker, features a heartfelt reunion both on and off screen. Season 1, episode 9 sees Colter team up with a local detective to find a young woman who disappeared after a seemingly supernatural incident. Although she is presumed dead by law enforcement, her widowed father remains confident that Lana is alive and being held against her will.
Jon Huertas: Before This Is Us ended, when Justin and Ken were putting the show together, they asked me if I would ever want to come and direct on the show if it gets picked up, and I said, "Absolutely." I'm a huge fan of both of those guys. I know that Ken is a fan of my work as a director, which makes me feel good. So if he's gonna hire me, it's gonna make me feel even better. So that's how it came about.
Colter's Backstory Lends Itself To The Tracker Case Tracker is still in its first season, but of the episodes that have aired so far, what excited you most about the storyline for Aurora? Jon Huertas: There was some stuff I wanted to put in there that we weren't able to. I can't wait to see more of Colter's backstory unfold because there's so much there to unpack. His backstory lent itself to this case that he's working. He didn't have the family unit that was normal—growing up in the woods and being this survivalist. I think the idea of a normal family is something that he wished he had. When he sees a father—it's destroyed him, losing his daughter.
I thought it was really cool and grounded it enough so people who are more skeptic like me can invest in that and go, "Yeah, none of this is real." But then there's enough of a question presented to where people who do lean into the supernatural can go, "I think this part was real. Maybe he really did get scratched by some crazy, invisible witch." I liked that we were able to tug at both ends of the string.
The location was like forty minutes away. I'm studying my script, so thirty minutes into the drive, I hadn't looked out the window yet. When I finally looked out the window, there are three inches of snow on the ground. We didn't plan for this. So it ended up being very, very cold. I had a very difficult shot with a drone that I was doing with the bridge. We had a lot of people out there, and our background artists and costume department didn't realize there was going to be snow.
