TRACKER Season 2: Jensen Ackles Smashes Justin Hartley’s Phone in Shaw Bros Clip

Looks like Tracker is being tracked.

Justin Hartley and Jensen Ackles shine as the squabbling Shaw brothers in CBS’s hit series.

Ackles sent Hartley a message, complimenting the promotional material for Tracker after the show’s premiere following the 2024 Super Bowl. Hartley responded with: “You should come play my brother.” Without hesitation, Ackles replied: “When and where?”
