Kathleen Robertson and Mark Engelhardt Join the Hit CBS Series the Tracker 

Kathleen Robertson and Mark Engelhardt join CBS’s hit series Tracker, bringing new characters, fresh twists, and added depth to Colter Shaw’s story.

Published: December 13, 2025, 8:17 am

The CBS hit series Tracker has been given an electrifying shakeup, and fans of the show will be the real beneficiaries. Veteran television stars, Kathleen Robertson and Mark Engelhardt, have been nabbed as series regulars for season six, adding new layers to the captivating story arc that revolves around Justin Hartley’s iconic character, Colter Shaw.  

Who’s Coming to Tracker?

Kathleen Robertson, who is likely best remembered for the searing Swimming with Sharks, has been cast as Maxine, a powerhouse attorney at a top firm. An interesting premise is introduced with her character: she befriends Reenie Greene (Fiona Rene, who is simply wonderful) and appears to be engaged in routine legal work on a class action suit. But here is the surprise nothing is what it was supposed to be up close.

Maxine is hiding something big and it will rock the boat. Robertson also has a producing and writing background, the kind of creative smarts that is sure to add additional layers to her role. 

Mark Engelhardt (best known for American Horror Story: Asylum) will now play Emile Sark, a man with a strong sense of right and wrong. Paul’s description makes him sound cold, calculating and ruthless — a man who lives by his own rules, morals and ethics. A character like this could really shake up the dynamic of the show and cause some amazing tension. 

What This Means for Tracker

These two casting additions are interesting in the development of the series. Tracker has been a powerhouse for CBS since debuting after Super Bowl LVIII in February 2024. Based on Jeff Deaver’s best-selling novel The Never Game, the drama centers on Colter Shaw, who roams the country, employing his unparalleled tracking and survival skills to find missing people and crack cases while raking in cash. Justin Hartley has nailed the role, he made me believe in the lone-wolf survivalist.

Season 3 had already been released on October 19, 2025, and the series continued to provide the quality storytelling that the viewers were expecting. Following the dramatic cliffhangers and family revelations of prior seasons, Colter is confronted with hard truths about his family’s past. With the addition of Robertson and Engelhardt’s characters to the mix, more depth and complexity is brought into the story.

What makes this casting development even more interesting is how it plays into a larger overhaul of the series’ supporting players. It was previously announced that series regulars Eric Graise (who played tech-savvy hacker Bobby) and Abby McEnany (who was the empathetic Velma) exited the show. This allowed the show’s creators to take the series in new directions, and introduce completely new character dynamics.​

Elwood Reid (showrunner) has been very clear about what he wants the series to be: for every week, starting with Colter coming into a new place with a new case and how he goes about approaching solving it is entirely for grabs. This loose format allowed the series to bring in several memorable guest stars and recurring characters who added a unique element to the storyline.

Conclusion

Robertson and Engelhardt round out a cast including the powerhouse Justin Hartley and the incredible Fiona Rene. The series has already shown that it can lure big-name guest stars such as Jensen Ackles, Sofia Pernas and a host of other fan favorites.​ ​

With these two talented additions, Tracker is set to keep the wins coming. The arrival of Maxine and Emile Sark promises some interesting story lines, especially as these characters relate to Reenie and to Colter’s investigations. Whether they wind up allies or enemies, one thing is for certain: the CBS series is still pushing the envelope in exhilarating ways that keep viewers hooked and starving for more.

Tomb Raider actress Sigourney Weaver Stardom: From Lara Croft to Amazon TV series

The Tomb Raider actress lineup is expanding as Sigourney Weaver is in talks to join Amazon's new series, bringing depth, power and legacy to the franchise.

Written by: Alpana

Tomb Raider actress

In Hollywood, few careers seem equally timeless and revolutionary. Sigourney Weaver’s Live journey stands amongst those rare exceptions. The news that she is in active negotiations to join Amazon Prime Video’s Tomb Raider series is more than casting buzz—it’s a moment of poetic symmetry. More than 40 years ago, Weaver redefined the screen. Now the modern female action hero’s original architect is poised to step into its world, as the franchise that once followed her blueprint gets ready for what may yet be its final reinvention. 

For those brought up on Lara Croft, the link is impossible to miss. Even at a time when Croft wasn’t yet an icon of gaming culture in 1996, Ripley had already redefined what was expected of women in sci-fi and action. Weaver’s possible Tomb Raider return is a conversation between generations — the cinematic past and the streaming future, anchored by a performer who has never accepted limitations based on age, genre, or gender. 

Sigourney Weaver’s Early Life, Rejection, and the Roles Hollywood Wouldn’t Offer 

Weaver noted that being tall “absolutely kept me from working with conventional directors” 

Born Susan Alexandra Weaver in 1949, the future Sigourney Weaver was already on her way to becoming a “weaver of wonders” at a young age. At fourteen, she felt the name “Susan” was too small for her frame and she adopted the name “Sigourney” from The Great Gatsby. It was an act of self-definition that shaped the rest of her life, one that foretold how she would never make herself smaller to meet expectations.

She’s one of the classic ‘you charted a different course to get where you are despite everything’ stories,” says The Guardian

Her towering height proved to be a barrier in an industry hesitant to pair up tall women with male leads. Weaver would later call this “overt discrimination,” but it did send her inward, toward radical roles and visionary filmmakers who prioritised presence over convention. 

Her educational background—Stanford University and then the Yale School of Drama was rigorous, but Yale was brutal. Professors dismissed her as untalented and cast her in insultingly small parts. Rather than shatter her, the rejection hardening a fearless self-reliance. Weaver ceased to seek validation and learned to trust her own judgment, a mentality that would make it possible for her to risk herself in films that were underestimated by others. 

How Ellen Ripley Changed Science Fiction Forever

Aliens changed everything. The script was written without genders, and when Weaver was cast as Ellen Ripley, it covertly dismantled decades of Hollywood tradition. Ripley wasn’t decorative, emotional or lucky — she was capable, realistic and prickly when appropriate. Weaver portrayed her as a laboring every woman rather than a glory-seeking hero.

But the audiences were not ready for it. Ripley did not run through a nightmare in tears, she survived it. Weaver summed up Ripley’s attitude in two words: “What’s next?” That steely sangfroid would go on to underpin today’s female action hero.

With Alien (1986), Ripley went from survivor to soldier. James Cameron brought the story themes of motherhood, making Ripley the Alien Queen’s opponent in a battle of instinct and protection. Weaver received an Academy Award nomination for her portrayal — an extraordinary acknowledgement for a sci-fi action role. Drenched, bruised, and armed, Ripley obliterated the ‘damsel in distress’ archetype and paved the way for the likes of Sarah Connor and Lara Croft. 

Sigourney Weaver’s Range as an Actor

Ripley settled her legacy, Weaver’s longevity derived from range. She was hilarious in Ghostbusters. In “Galaxy Quest,” she took apart sci-fi gender stereotypes with knowing laughter. She was nominated for two Oscars in 1988, for Gorillas in the Mist and Working Girl, demonstrating her mastery of both stark drama and frosty ambition.

Her work with such directors as Ang Lee (The Ice Storm) also established her as a powerful interpreter of complex, emotionally repressed women. These parts defined the “steel-willed matriarch” type which now defines her later career.

Weaver’s long relationship with James Cameron has allowed her to remain at the forefront of filmmaking. In Avatar, she was scientist Grace Augustine—a mentor character whose defining traits were intelligence and moral certainty. Decades later, at age 73, Avatar: The Way of Water would see her defy expectations yet again by having her portray Kiri, a 14-year-old Na’vi girl. She refused to let her age dictate her physical limitations, stating

“I didn’t want anyone to think, ‘Oh, she’s old, she can’t do this’

Her preparation was intense: breath-hold training, parkour and physical performance that “never considered my age” By drawing on memories of her own youth, Weaver demonstrated she can remove herself from a position of authority and also become vulnerable — a feat which underlines her relevancy in today’s, VFX-heavy franchises.

Sigourney Weaver and Sophie Turner: Generational Power Shift

Weaver’s decision to move up to television marks a recalibration. In The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, she was June Hart, a painfully imperfect women’s advocate and executive producer. It gave her an opportunity to delve into moral ambiguity and the strength of women—traits she always looks for.

According to Deadline, Her relationship with Amazon MGM Studios began there, thus Tomb Raider is a natural homecoming. Alongside Sophie Turner’s Lara Croft and Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s sharp, subversive writing, Weaver lends gravitas, authority, and intergenerational depth to the project. As a mentor, a rival or an antagonist, her presence in this adaptation says it wants to go deeper as well as bigger. 

Conclusion

The possibility of Sigourney Weaver in Tomb Raider is not nostalgia—it is progression. From a theater student informed that she had no talent to a Golden Lion winner who announced, “I want to roar,” her career is defined by denial – denial of growing old quietly, of playing small, and of being typecast.

She doesn’t just appear in franchises—she anchors them. With her turn as Tomb Raider, Weaver has come full cultural circle, connecting Ellen Ripley to Lara Croft and proving that strength, smarts and survival really are ageless. In space, jungles, or ancient ruins, Sigourney Weaver is cinema’s ultimate survivor.

Zendaya Net Worth in 2025: Age, Boyfriend, Family & Social Media Secrets Revealed

Explore Zendaya Net Worth in 2025, her patience of career journey, family, Fiance, & age along with effective social media presence.

Written by: Alpana
Published: April 16, 2025, 10:10 am

If 2024 marked Zendaya’s year for dominating in the cinema, 2025 is shaping up to be the year of her personal revolution. At 29, the Oakland-bred actor has gone from “former Disney kid” to full-blown Hollywood power player, fashion icon and as of earlier this year — fiancée.

But in the glare of Golden Globes lights and the sand swirling around Dune, one question is rising in group texts and Google searches alike: How rich is she now? And what the hell is going on with her and Tom Holland? 

We take a look inside Zendaya’s empire in 2025, including her soaring net worth, the family that keeps her grounded, and the “social media secrets” she uses to shape the narrative without saying a word.

Breakdown of Zеndaya’s Nеt Worth in 2025

Let’s be clear, Zendaya is rich. But in 2025, she has reached a whole other level of celebrity. Conservative calculations now have her net worth in the $35 to $50 million range, a number that has almost doubled in just three years. 

While her early paycheck-to-paycheck life on Shake It Up and K.C. Undercover cemented her foundation, recent film roles have helped build that fortress. Her Tashi Duncan in Challengers wasn’t just a critical buzzkill; it also came with an apparently $10 million paycheck — a shocking payday for a drama.

Then there’s Arrakis. Her base salary for Dune: Part Two reportedly increased substantially from the first film (where she made around $300k for very limited screen time) to $2 million, plus backend bonuses as the film reached grossing milestones. With Dune: Part Three coming in 2026, that number is just going to go up.

Television is where the reliable money is. By filming Euphoria season 3, Zendaya had secured a landmark deal, making $1 million per episode. As a show Executive Producer, she also receives a cut of the back-end profits. When you watch Rue’s tumultuous existence, Zendaya’s bank account silently thanks you. 

There’s no way we can turn a blind eye to the fashion money. Zendaya is not only wearing Louis Vuitton and Bulgari — she is the brand. Her deals with those luxury houses are said to be worth millions a year. That stunning cream suit she wore to the 2025 Met Gala? That’s not an outfit but it’s a business deal that exceeds the value of most people’s homes.” 

Who Arе Zеndaya’s Parеnts?

You don’t know Zendaya if you don’t know where she came from. Even with all the fame and millions, she still drives herself around in her own car in Los Angeles and makes frequent visits to her parents.

Her stability is owed to her mother, Claire Stoermer, and father, Kazembe Ajamu Coleman. They’re both—She’s a former Oakland teacher and he’s a former teacher from Oakland—and they gave her a “nobody-is-going-to-leave-a-damn-plateful-of-food-on-this-table” work ethic. 

Zеndaya’s Siblings

and the “secret weapon” in her support system happens to be her siblings. Zendaya is the youngest of six. She has five older half-siblings from her father’s side: Katianna, Annabella, Kaylee, Austin, and Julien.

Zеndaya’s Siblings

Five older siblings meant Zendaya grew up as the baby of the family, already an auntie before she was even an adult. Home On multiple occasions, the actress has credited her nieces and nephews as the reason she is so grounded. 

“I want them to be proud of me,” she has told in interviews. 

When she’s not on a red carpet, she’s probably just “Auntie Z,” changing diapers or doing school runs, a gig that keeps her humble and real. 

Who Is Zеndaya Dating in 2025?

For years, typing “Zendaya boyfriend” into the search bar basically got you a bunch of rumors, super low-res paparazzi snaps of kisses in cars, and denials. Now, in 2025, the results have been revolutionized.

Tom Holland is no longer just the boyfriend.

The internet as a whole had a collective sigh at the 2025 Golden Globes in Jan. Zendaya hit the red carpet in a bespoke burnt-orange Louis Vuitton gown, looking flawless as always. But then while she posed for the cameras a small, deliberate motion was made—she swept a lock of hair out of her face with her left hand.

There it was. A huge cushion cut diamond ring sat on that finger. She didn’t grab the mic and yell “I’m engaged!” She didn’t drop a cheeseball Instagram caption. She let the ring be the talking. Later that week, the couple’s representatives confirmed that Tom had proposed in a private, intimate setting over the holidays at one of her family homes.

Zеndaya’s Agе in 2025

Born on September 1, 1996 Zendaya is 29 years old now. Turning 29 at the end of her twenties is a countdown to crisis seemingly for many including Zendaya, but for the latter it seems to signify calm in her storm.

She’s “not a high schooler anymore” in 2025. Her choices of roles prove a spokeswoman for grown-up woman. She is producing, she’s directing (or whispering at it), and she’s bearing movies on her shoulders. The “clumsy teenager” phase she claims to still laugh about in interviews is long behind her, as she is now a woman who clearly knows who she is. 

Zеndaya’s Social Mеdia Prеsеncе

Amid a culture of celebrities livestreaming their breakfasts, Zendaya’s approach to social media is a lesson in Scarcity Marketing. With more than 180 million Instagram followers, she is one of the most followed people on the planet – yet she is the one who posts the least.

With 2025 fast approaching, Zendaya is the only one listed. She has the wealth of a mogul, the ring of a fiancée, the support of a massive family and the discipline of a veteran star. She’s cracked the code of modern fame: Show up for them all on-screen, but hide out with the best parts of your life — the family dinners, the private jokes with Tom, the “Finsta” scrolling — just for yourself.

And that, perhaps, is her greatest net worth of all.
