Tracker Season 2: Release Date, Plot, Cast, and Everything You Need to Know
The procedural drama Tracker, starring Justin Hartley, was a huge hit for CBS when it premiered earlier this year. The new season of the hit show is expected to premiere later this year, and here’s what we know about it so far.
Tracker Season 2 is expected to air on CBS on October 27, 2024. However, the airing time will depend on where viewers live. On the East Coast, it will air after an NFL doubleheader at around 8:30 p.m. On the West Coast, it will air at 8 p.m.
CBS is using the NFL to boost the visibility of its scripted shows, leading to the unusual fall premiere of Tracker and other scripted series like The Equalizer.
A similar strategy was used by the network when it premiered the first season of Tracker, following the 2024 Super Bowl, which led to the scripted drama becoming the No. 1 new show on television.
The new season will follow the same episodic procedural format as the first season. However, it will focus more on Colter’s dysfunctional family and his history growing up in such a hostile environment, leading to a greater focus on character study.
What can we expect from Tracker Season 2?
Tracker executive producer Elwood Reid recently hinted at the Television Critics Association press tour that the new season will focus more on Colter’s family dynamics as well as feature larger roles for Velma (Abby McEnany) and Reenie (Fiona Rene).
The biggest question on every fan’s mind, though, is whether or not Jensen Ackles will return to the show as Colt’s brother Russell. Reid has confirmed that Ackles will be returning to the show, although it’s unclear how many episodes it will be.
The show will also have more episodes than the previous season. According to another producer on the show, the second season will have a total of 22 episodes while the first season had a total of 13. This gives the show more time to expand on all the character arcs.
As of now, there’s no trailer for Tracker season 2. But since the October 27 release date has been confirmed, it should be coming in a few months.
