The most popular show of the year is returning for its regular season in just a few weeks. Tracker was awarded a coveted post-Super Bowl slot by CBS in February and has been on a high note throughout its first season. On Sunday, October 13, the show returns for Season 2, boasting a better time slot and a slew of fans who have discovered the show over the past few months.
If you’re late to the show and hoping to catch up, the show is easily accessible online and will be available to stream even more when Season 2 premieres. Like many CBS shows, Tracker is available to stream on Paramount+. You can find the entire first season there, and Season 2 episodes will be uploaded to the service the morning after they air. With CBS live on Paramount+, you can also watch episodes as they air, but you can’t watch them on demand until the next day.
The day Tracker’s second season premieres, the series will be available to a much wider audience online, allowing new fans to find the show as new episodes come out. Hulu recently released its October newsletter and revealed that Tracker Season 1 will be added to the service’s lineup on October 13, the same day as Tracker’s Season 2 premiere. So you probably won’t be able to binge the entire first season on Hulu before Season 2 drops that night, but you should be able to catch up pretty quickly.

Tracker, based on Jeffery Deaver’s Colter Shaw novels, is largely a procedural, putting Justin Hartley’s bounty hunter in the middle of a new case each episode. However, there’s a central story underlying it all, as Colter continues to search for evidence about who killed his father when he was a child.
“When you have a show like this, and you end it in such a nice way, and you wrap all these stories up in a nice little bow, it’s great and wonderful,” Hartley told Deadline following the conclusion of Tracker Season 1. “But we have another season to shoot that we have to do better than Season 1. So… while we wanted all those storylines to be wrapped up, we also wanted those arcs to lead to other questions — bigger, deeper questions — about his past. So I think we did that in answering some of the questions that we’ve been building up over the course of the year. I think we did a good job of making sure that the answers to those questions then lead to a bigger mystery, something that we can unpack in Season 2.”
