CBS’s Tracker has built its reputation on gripping manhunts and morally gray rescues, but Season 3 is shaping up to be the show’s most personal—and dangerous—adventure yet. Sources close to production reveal that Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley) will be forced to confront a mystery tied to his own childhood disappearance, a case that could rewrite everything he believes about his family.
A Case That Hits Too Close
According to an insider, the new season’s premiere will open with Colter receiving a cryptic message that only he can decipher. “This isn’t just another client,” teases showrunner Ken Olin. “This is someone who knows his deepest secrets.” Rumors suggest we’ll see flashbacks to Colter’s teenage years and an event that might explain his lifelong obsession with tracking.
Justin Hartley’s Marathon Shoot
Hartley recently described the filming schedule as “the most intense of my career,” with multiple night shoots in remote mountain locations. “We were hauling equipment up cliffs at 2 a.m.,” he said. “Colter’s exhaustion is real—because mine was, too.” Fans can expect a gritty, emotionally charged premiere that blurs the line between hunter and hunted.
