As Tracker gears up for its highly anticipated Season 3, fans aren’t just waiting for Colter Shaw to hit the road again—they already have a wish list of what they want most from the new episodes. After all, Season 2 ended with shocking twists that left plenty of doors open. Here’s what the audience is hoping CBS delivers this fall.
1. More Family Drama (Especially the Shaw Siblings)
The revelation about Colter’s mother, Mary, changed everything. Viewers want deeper exploration into why she was involved in Ashton Shaw’s death, and what other secrets she might be hiding. At the same time, the return of Russell Shaw (Jensen Ackles) sets the stage for tense, emotional brotherly showdowns. And if Dory Shaw (Melissa Roxburgh) makes a comeback? Fans are ready for a full-on family reckoning.
2. Colter’s Vulnerable Side
Audiences love Colter’s confidence and survival skills, but they also want to see his emotional layers. Season 3 is the perfect chance to show how the betrayals in his family history affect him—not just as a tracker, but as a son and brother.
3. High-Stakes Cases With Heart
Every week, Colter helps strangers in desperate situations. Fans are hoping for cases that feel more personal and emotionally charged, where the stakes aren’t just about money or survival—but about healing, redemption, and justice.
4. A New Hacker in the Mix
With Velma and Bobby gone, viewers are curious (and a little anxious) about who will handle the tech side of Colter’s missions. Fans want someone fresh, smart, and quirky to keep the team’s dynamic alive—someone who doesn’t just replace the old characters, but adds something new.
5. More Screen Time for Justin Hartley and Jensen Ackles Together
Let’s be real: one of the biggest draws for Season 3 is seeing Hartley and Ackles share the screen. Their chemistry, both as actors and as fictional brothers, has fans begging for more scenes filled with tension, banter, and maybe even reluctant teamwork.
6. Answers About the Wooden Carving
That mysterious wooden carving from the Season 2 finale left fans scratching their heads. What did it mean? Was it a clue to a larger conspiracy involving Ashton Shaw? Fans want that mystery solved—and they want it to connect to Colter’s personal journey.
Tracker isn’t just a procedural—it’s a show with heart, family secrets, and a lead character fans are deeply invested in. For Season 3, the audience is hoping for bigger twists, deeper emotions, and stories that hit close to home.
Because at the end of the day, fans don’t just want to watch Colter Shaw track strangers. They want to watch him track himself.
