“Destined Journey: Russell and Colter Reunite in New ‘Tracker’ Season 2 Image”
Jensen Ackles made a name for himself playing Dean Winchester for 15 years on Supernatural, but now he has a new role that people can’t stop talking about. Ackles starred in Episode 12 of Tracker Season 1, which followed Colter (Justin Hartley) as he teams up with his estranged brother, Russell (Ackles), who enlists his help in tracking down his former Army colleague, who has gone missing after weeks of strange behavior. Now, People Magazine has the first look at Ackles and Hartley’s Colter-Russell reunion, which is set to take place in Season 2, Episode 2, “Ontological Shock.” The second episode will follow Reenie (Fiona Rene), who calls Russell for help after Colter disappears while searching for her missing father. Hartley gave a statement to People about how much of a joy it was to work with Ackles again on Tracker: “Jensen and I have known each other for a long time, we’ve never had the opportunity to work together. Jensen is the perfect person to play Russell. It’s a character that’s so well-developed in the books and even more so than what we did on the show. And then Jensen takes it to the next level.”
Tracker became a huge hit on Paramount+ after it debuted earlier this year in February and ran through the end of May. Now, less than six months later, Tracker is back with a new batch of episodes, set to premiere on October 13 with Season 2, Episode 1, titled “Out of the Past.” The first episode will follow Colter as he investigates the disappearance of a family whose car was abandoned in Arkansas when a shocking revelation about the family’s mother leads him into the dark world of organized crime. In addition to Hartley as Colter Shaw, Tracker Season 2 also stars Abby McEnany as Velma Bruin, Eric Graise as Bobby Exley, Aliyah Brooks as Amy, and Erik Gow as Craig King.
