CBS’s hit drama Tracker, starring Justin Hartley as survivalist Colter Shaw, has quickly become one of the network’s most successful new shows. With its mix of mystery, high-stakes rescues, and family drama, the series has built a passionate fan base that is eagerly counting down the days until Season 3 premieres. Recently, CBS and Paramount+ shared important updates about the broadcast and streaming schedule, and fans now have a clearer picture of when and where they can continue Colter’s thrilling journey.
Reruns Leading Up to the New Season
At the moment, CBS is airing reruns of Tracker episodes instead of new content. For example, on August 17, 2025, fans were treated to encore showings of Season 2 episodes such as “The Night Movers” and “The Disciple.” Just a week earlier, on August 10, CBS rebroadcast the Season 2 premiere “Out of the Past” in its original Sunday night slot.
These reruns serve a dual purpose: they give new viewers a chance to catch up with Colter’s adventures, and they allow longtime fans to revisit some of the series’ most important storylines before the explosive third season begins.
Season 3 Premiere Date Confirmed
The big news is official: Tracker Season 3 will premiere on Sunday, October 19, 2025, at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
This coveted primetime slot underscores CBS’s confidence in the show. By placing Tracker at the very start of Sunday night, the network ensures that it remains a centerpiece in its lineup, drawing millions of weekly viewers.
For those who can’t catch the episodes live, there’s good news: new episodes will also be available to stream the next day on Paramount+. That means fans across the U.S. (and in select international regions where Paramount+ is available) can keep up with Colter’s story at their own pace.
Where to Watch Tracker Right Now
If you don’t want to wait until October, there are plenty of options to watch Tracker:
-
CBS (Broadcast TV): Reruns of Seasons 1 and 2 continue to air on Sunday nights.
-
Paramount+: The streaming platform currently has full Seasons 1 and 2 available, and it will host every new Season 3 episode the day after it airs on CBS.
-
Hulu: Season 1 is available, but Season 2 has not yet been added to the library.
-
Live TV Services: Platforms such as Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, fuboTV, Sling TV, and DirecTV Stream provide live access to CBS for those who prefer streaming over cable.
This wide accessibility means fans can choose whichever option best suits their viewing habits, whether that’s live television or on-demand streaming.
Why This Update Matters
The Season 2 finale left viewers on the edge of their seats, with major cliffhangers surrounding Colter’s complicated family history. The return of Russell Shaw (played by Jensen Ackles), Colter’s brother, has sparked endless speculation online about what new secrets will come to light.
With Season 3 confirmed and its schedule now set, the excitement is only growing. CBS’s decision to air reruns until October allows fans to stay engaged, revisit key episodes, and prepare for the emotional rollercoaster ahead.
Tracker has proven itself to be more than just another procedural drama—it’s a character-driven story about survival, redemption, and family. With the Season 3 premiere date locked in for October 19, 2025, fans can finally mark their calendars and start counting down the weeks. Whether you’re catching reruns on CBS, streaming old episodes on Paramount+, or planning to binge-watch the entire series before the big premiere, one thing is certain: Colter Shaw’s journey is about to reach new heights.
The schedule is set, the anticipation is real, and Season 3 promises to deliver answers, action, and heart like never before.
