Justin Hartley is no stranger to carrying high-profile roles, but 2025 could very well be the busiest — and most important — year of his career. Fresh off the success of Tracker, which cemented him as a bankable network TV leading man, Hartley is balancing his hit CBS series with multiple film projects and potential new ventures that could redefine his professional image.
1. Tracker Season 3 Expands the World
The biggest anchor in Hartley’s 2025 schedule is Tracker Season 3. The action-packed drama has been renewed with high anticipation, and filming in Vancouver has already generated buzz thanks to set photos revealing guest stars and bigger story arcs. This season promises to dig deeper into Colter Shaw’s complicated past, especially the unresolved mystery surrounding his mother — a storyline Hartley himself teased in interviews, hinting at “deep psychological layers.”
2. Bride Hard – Comedy Meets Action
Hartley is also set to star in Bride Hard, an action-comedy where he plays a role far removed from his usual suave leading men. He described his character as a “worm and buffoon” — words that have fans intrigued to see a more playful, self-deprecating side of him. It’s a bold genre shift that could open new doors for future comedic roles.
3. Rumored Streaming Projects
Industry insiders hint at Hartley’s talks with major streaming platforms for a limited series that would be filmed in late 2025. While details remain under wraps, the move suggests he’s looking to diversify his portfolio beyond network television.
4. Public Image and Career Longevity
Hartley’s strategic choices show an actor who understands the importance of reinvention. By moving between drama, comedy, and action, he avoids typecasting — a trap many TV stars fall into. If Tracker maintains its momentum and Bride Hard lands with audiences, 2025 could secure his place as one of Hollywood’s most adaptable talents.
