Great news for fans of “Tracker!” CBS has officially renewed the hit drama series for a third season, which is set to air in the 2025-2026 season. The show, which stars Justin Hartley as Colter Shaw, has been a favorite thanks to its mix of action, mystery, and character depth. With rising viewership and strong reviews, it’s no surprise that CBS is bringing it back for more.
Why CBS Is Keeping “Tracker” Around
According to TV Series Finale, the decision to renew “Tracker” comes after a strong second season, which is still airing new episodes, and has attracted over 18 million multi-platform viewers: up 4% from its debut season. This impressive growth shows that the show is connecting with audiences and continuing to find its groove. Fans have been tuning in to follow Shaw’s gripping adventures, and the buzz surrounding the series has only been growing.
Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment, pointed out in that same post about how the series fits into the network’s strategy of delivering big hits. “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,” she said in that same writer-up. “Tracker” has clearly become a key piece of the network’s plan, drawing in a wide range of viewers.
The fact that “Tracker” has kept such a strong and dedicated following shows just how effective it is at blending thrilling mysteries with emotional depth. This renewal speaks volumes about the show’s ability to engage audiences week after week.
What’s Next for Colter Shaw in Season 3
In Season 3, we can expect more of Colter Shaw’s journey as he uses his expert tracking skills to solve tough cases while still dealing with his own unresolved family issues. The show has done an excellent job of balancing Shaw’s personal struggle with the action-packed cases he works on, and that dynamic will only get deeper as the story unfolds.
Justin Hartley has said the crew is doing an amazing job keeping the show fresh, even with its fast-paced filming schedule. “We have one of the best crews, and I think our writers are so great, and the acting has been so good on the show that I think that that helps with all that stuff,” he shared, per CinemaBlend. The dedication of the cast and crew has been one of the reasons “Tracker” has managed to create such an engaging and well-executed show.
With “Tracker” coming back alongside other CBS hits like “NCIS,” “Ghosts,” and “Fire Country,” fans are in for a lot more exciting drama and character growth. The series is making a name for itself as a primetime staple, and we can’t wait to see what’s next. As the show continues to evolve, there’s no doubt that Colter Shaw’s complex journey will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
