As the buzz around Tracker continues to grow, fans are anxiously awaiting concrete details about Season 3. After a gripping second season filled with twists, emotional stakes, and character revelations, the spotlight now turns to what’s next — especially regarding its network home and potential release date.
Tracker Season 3: Will It Air on CBS?
Yes, Tracker Season 3 will return on CBS. Despite recent production delays due to industry strikes and scheduling shifts, CBS has confirmed that it remains the official broadcast home of the series. The show’s impressive ratings and strong performance during its Sunday night slot made it a priority for the network.
CBS not only renewed Tracker for Season 3 but has also doubled down on its commitment to the show by keeping it in its Sunday primetime lineup. It will continue to serve as a strong lead-in for other network hits. The show has become one of CBS’s standout new franchises, driven largely by Justin Hartley’s performance as Colter Shaw and its intriguing case-of-the-week format balanced with serialized character arcs.
When Will Tracker Season 3 Be Released?
While an official premiere date hasn’t been confirmed yet, current projections suggest that Tracker Season 3 will premiere in early 2026, most likely in February or March as part of CBS’s midseason slate. This timing lines up with the network’s reshuffling strategy after strikes disrupted the traditional TV calendar.
This midseason release window is not unusual. In fact, CBS often reserves that period for high-performing shows with loyal followings. Given that Tracker has become a strong ratings performer, the delay is more a reflection of strategic timing than any issues with the show itself.
What to Expect from Season 3
Fans can expect a deeper dive into Colter Shaw’s backstory, especially following the intense revelations in Season 2 about his family and personal trauma. With major character exits like Robin Weigert (Teddi) and Abby McEnany (Velma), the show is also expected to introduce new allies and adversaries that reshape Colter’s journey.
The dynamic of Colter’s solo hunts might evolve as he begins to let more people into his emotional world—or is forced to confront relationships from his past. New locations, high-stakes cases, and morally gray dilemmas will continue to define the tone of the show.
While fans might have to wait a little longer than expected, the good news is Tracker Season 3 is definitely happening and returning to CBS. With the show continuing to build momentum, the midseason launch may actually give it the spotlight it needs to thrive even more.
Stay tuned for updates as CBS announces an official release date and trailers later this year.
