Colter Shaw to Return This Fall for ‘Tracker’ Season 2
CBS has officially announced that Tracker, the drama series starring Justin Hartley, will return for a second season and has just announced a premiere date. The new season will premiere on Sunday, October 27, and will air at 8:00 p.m. ET beginning Sunday, November 3. Tracker was renewed for a second season in March 2024, after receiving positive feedback from audiences and high ratings during its premiere week. The series has been praised for its compelling storytelling and Hartley’s performance.
Tracker follows Colter Shaw, a skilled tracker and survivalist who assists law enforcement and citizens in finding missing people and solving crimes, often in exchange for reward money. The show is based on the novel The Never Game by Jeffery Deaver. The main cast includes Justin Hartley as Colter Shaw, Fiona Rene as Reenie Greene, Robin Weigert as Teddi Bruin, Abby McEnany as Velma Bruin, Eric Graise as Bob Exley, Jennifer Morrison as Lizzy Hawking, Sofia Pernas as Billie Matalon, Jensen Ackles as Russell Shaw, and Melissa Roxburgh as Dory Shaw.
Tracker ends with a gripping and complex finale titled “The Storm.” The episode focuses on Colter Shaw investigating the disappearance of Katie Hawking, the daughter of a family friend, and her boyfriend Dylan. The plot begins with Colter discovering Dylan’s body entangled in seaweed, revealing evidence of foul play, including cuts on Dylan’s dry suit designed to cause his body to sink. Colter’s investigation leads him to suspect the involvement of the Sampson brothers, Xavier and Bo, who have recently had a scuffle with Katie and Dylan.
As the story progresses, Colter and his team uncover a deeper conspiracy involving Vince Talbot, a wealthy individual under federal investigation for extortion and sex trafficking. They discover that Dylan and Katie are investigating the murder of Haley Thomas, a girl who went missing three years earlier, and have set up cameras to gather evidence against Talbot and the Sampson brothers.
Colter finds Katie alive but injured, fleeing the Sampson house. In a climactic confrontation, Colter overpowers Xavier, and with the help of Deputy Kelman, corrupt Sheriff Woods is arrested along with Talbot and the Sampson brothers. The ending leaves several threads open, including new revelations about Colter’s family and his father’s mysterious past, setting the stage for the upcoming season. The season ends with Colter reflecting on his family history discoveries, hinting at more secrets to be revealed in Season 2. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
