While not quite reaching the same critical heights as Reacher, Tracker has been met with seriously solid reviews from critics. The series now holds a rating of 89% on Rotten Tomatoes alongside a respectable 73% from audiences on the Popcormeter. While Tracker Season 2 doesn’t yet have enough reviews for a critics’ score, audiences are far more enamored with the second outing, rating the show’s return a hugely promising 80%.
“Making great use of Justin Hartley’s swaggering appeal, Tracker takes a spartan approach to a classic formula and yields a highly efficient entertainment,” the critics’ consensus reveals. One of the most glowing reviews for Season 2 comes courtesy of Michael John Petty of Collider, who rated the series a near-perfect 9/10, and says… “Tracker proves again that it’s one of the best shows airing right now, with Season 2 pushing Colter Shaw into new territory by forcing him to gradually revisit his past.”
Created by Ben H. Winters and based on the 2019 novel “The Never Game” by Jeffery Deaver, Tracker stars Justin Hartley in the lead role alongside Robin Weigert, Abby McEnany, Eric Graise, Fiona Rene, Prestyn Bates, Abby McEnany, with the likes of Peter Stormare, Melissa Roxburgh, Jennifer Morrison, and Jensen Ackles featuring in guest roles. Tracker was officially renewed for a third season back in February, with CBS and Paramount revealing that the action-drama series will return alongside other hit shows Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, Elsbeth, Fire Country, and NCIS.
“This season, our new and returning series continue to showcase CBS as the leader in launching and programming the biggest hits with mass appeal for broadcast and streaming viewers,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment, in a statement at the time. “These returning shows represent a mix of long-standing hits and a new generation of fan favorites. In collaboration with our extraordinarily talented partners in front of and behind the camera, we look forward to delivering another successful season.”
Let’s be real: not all shows deserve more seasons. But Tracker? It earns every second. With layered storytelling, high-stakes plots, and characters we’ve grown to love, Season 3 is gearing up to be its best yet. So grab your popcorn, prep your theories, and get ready for another wild ride. Because if one thing’s certain, Tracker Season 3 won’t hold back.
