With actors who played Velma Bruin and Bobby Exley unavailable, the crime drama Tracker is focusing more on characters viewers already know. Brent Saxton returns as retired cop Keaton in season 3, episode 9, and Chris Lee reprises his role as Randy to assist Colter with a new case.

Shows like It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Curb Your Enthusiasm have already moved away from the typical heartwarming lessons and feel-good moments of most sitcoms, so they’re likely to really lean into that trend when addressing overly sweet storylines. Similarly, horror shows such as Black Mirror and Tales from the Crypt often become even more disturbing during their Christmas episodes.
