As filming continues on the fourth season of Showrunner Elwood Reid's Justin Hartley-starring Tracker ahead of its return as part of October's "CBS Premiere Week," we've got some casting news to pass along. In the latest edition of Matt Webb Mitovich's "Matt's Inside Line" (which you should definitely be checking out), Mitovich shared exclusively that Sarah Jane Morris (Brothers and Sisters, NCIS, The Pitt) is set to guest star during the fourth season. According to the report, Morris' Leanne is "a woman who embarks on a hike along the Pacific Crest Trail with her daughter Kayla, to honor the memory of Leanne's late husband. When Kayla injures her ankle, Leanne leaves the trail to seek help, only to be knocked unconscious by an unseen assailant."

Could the fourth season bring the return of Jensen Ackles' Russell Shaw? Based on how the previous season wrapped up and with all the interesting storylines still left dangling, it would seem more a matter of when he returns than if he returns. During Creation Entertainment's The Road So Far… The Road Ahead: Creation Toronto, Ackles was asked about his upcoming projects. Admitting that he was looking to take "a nice little break" after "working pretty much non-stop for about two years." But he did remind the audience that "Vought Rising" was on the way "early next year," and that he does "dip in and out" of Tracker. After noting that filming on the fourth season had just gotten underway, Ackles added, "So, I'm waiting for the phone call." Here's a look at Ackles alongside Rob Benedict and Richard Speight during the main panel, with the Tracker comment included in Ackles' response about his future projects beginning at the 9:00 mark (and thanks to Robyn Phillips for posting the panel):
