Manifest’s Melissa Roxburgh Joins CBS’ ‘Tracker’ as Colter Shaw’s Sister

Melissa Roxburgh, known for her role as Michaela Stone in the supernatural drama Manifest, is set to appear in CBS’ Tracker, playing the role of Dory, the sister of Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley).

Roxburgh, a Canadian-American actress, has demonstrated her versatility with roles in Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules, Star Trek Beyond, and Valor, among others. Her performance as Michaela Stone in Manifest garnered widespread recognition.

Dory, the sister of Colter Shaw, adds a new dynamic to the show. In the series, Colter Shaw is a lone-wolf survivalist who uses his expert tracking skills to help solve mysteries. Dory’s introduction brings a new layer to Colter’s complex family background and adds intrigue to the show’s narrative. And yes we were going to go with a “Finding Dory” quip but we decided to be mature about the news.

In Tracker, Colter Shaw’s family background plays a crucial role in the story. With an unusual upbringing influenced by their father’s paranoia, Colter and his siblings, including Dory, have a complicated relationship. Dory’s appearance in the series will likely explore their shared past and how it shapes their present dynamics.

Tracker has already been renewed for a second season by CBS. The show’s unique premise and engaging characters have resonated with audiences, even if the network does keep messing around with its airtime slot.

The casting of Melissa Roxburgh as Dory was first confirmed by Justin Hartley, who shared a photo with his new TV sister on Instagram. This surprise announcement delighted fans and created a buzz on social media, with many expressing their enthusiasm for Roxburgh’s appearance in the show.
