Hold on tight, Tracker fans — if the latest leak is true, Season 3 could deliver the most outrageous twist in the show’s history. According to an anonymous source close to production, Tracker is preparing to introduce a secret twin brother for Colter Shaw. Yes, you read that right. The man we thought we knew may not be the only Shaw on the road.
The rumor exploded after a cryptic casting call surfaced online. It was quickly taken down, but not before fans screenshotted the description. It called for an actor “with a striking resemblance to the lead” and described the role as “a morally ambiguous character with ties to the Shaw family.” That was all it took to ignite a firestorm of speculation.
Fans are now convinced that Tracker is about to drop a soap-opera-worthy twist: that Colter’s long-lost twin has been living in the shadows — and may even be working against him.
Theories range from the twin being a villain who’s been sabotaging Colter’s cases from afar… to a secret agent who has been tracking the same people for entirely different reasons. The wildest fan speculation? That it’s been the twin all along, and we’ve been watching the wrong brother for two seasons.
What makes this twist semi-plausible is the series’ long-running obsession with Colter’s fractured past. From the mysterious death of his father to his fractured relationship with his siblings, Tracker has never shied away from family trauma. Adding a secret twin with an agenda would deepen the mythology — and open the door to unpredictable storylines.
Insiders say the reveal could happen mid-season, with the twist completely redefining Colter’s identity. “Fans think they know him,” one source hinted. “But they’re about to question everything.”
Even Justin Hartley, who plays Colter, has been teasing something massive. In a recent interview, he said, “Season 3 goes places you’d never expect. It’s about family — but not in the way you think.” When asked to elaborate, he simply smiled and said, “Trust me, this one’s going to make jaws drop.”
Viewers are torn. Some are excited about the bold direction. “Bring it on,” one fan tweeted. “I love chaos. Give me the evil twin.” Others are furious. “This better not turn into some cheesy drama,” another posted. “Tracker is supposed to be grounded, not ridiculous.”
But here’s the kicker: this twist may not just be for shock value. Some believe the twin brother storyline is a clever workaround to reduce Hartley’s screen time without killing off Colter. He could still play both characters, but allow for more flexibility in shooting schedules — especially with rumors of Hartley taking on new projects outside Tracker.
Whether it’s a brilliant move or a desperate ratings grab, CBS is clearly taking risks with Season 3. One thing’s for sure: the quiet, introspective tracker we met in Season 1 is about to be thrown into a family storm — and possibly face a version of himself unlike anything we’ve seen.
If true, this twist could either make Tracker unforgettable… or derail it entirely. All eyes are now on CBS for a confirmation — or a jaw-dropping surprise when Season 3 premieres.
