CBS’s hit drama Tracker has built its reputation on suspenseful chases and moral ambiguity, but insiders say the upcoming season will push Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley) into the most difficult decisions of his career. The series follows the lone survivalist as he uses his unique skills to locate missing persons and fugitives for reward money.
While previous seasons explored Colter’s resourcefulness, new scripts reportedly dig deeper into his personal code of ethics. What happens when the truth he uncovers puts innocent lives at risk—or when the “right” decision isn’t the legal one? Showrunner Ken Olin teased that fans should expect “life-or-death stakes where Colter’s values are tested in ways we’ve never seen before.”
The production team has also hinted at flashback sequences revealing key moments from Colter’s childhood, shedding light on the trauma that shaped his fiercely independent nature. For a character who thrives in the wilderness, the most dangerous terrain may well be the secrets buried in his own past.
