Colter Shaw, Reenie and Randy are back for another season of action as Tracker returns for Season 3 on CBS.
Tracker is based on the novel The Never Game by Jeffery Deaver and developed for TV by Ben H. Winters, with Elwood Reid serving as showrunner. Justin Hartley stars as Shaw, a lone-wolf survivalist and tracker who works as a “rewardist” — basically, a freelance detective contracting with law enforcement and private citizens to uncover underground networks and solve missing person cases.

How Did ‘Tracker’ Season 2 End?
The second season of Tracker ended with Colter back home in Echo Ridge. He confronts the man who killed his father and learns the shocking truth that his mother asked for his help in doing so. Fans have been waiting months for the answer to one question: Why?
For Colter, the reveal was not only shocking but deeply personal. After his father’s death, his sister went to live with his aunt and uncle and his older brother Russell joined the military, but Colter stayed in Echo Ridge with his mother. In Tracker Season 3, these family dynamics seem primed to explode.
Against that backdrop, Colter and Russell have reunited and joined forces to investigate a sinister underground organization known only as “The Process.”
What Will ‘Tracker’ Season 3 Be About?
An early look at the season premiere finds Colter reuniting with Russell (played by Jensen Ackles). Last year’s dramatic season finale revealed to Colter the truth about his father’s death. A truth his mother kept from him. Family secrets are poised to be a major focal point of the new season.
Beyond family drama, Tracker kicks off with a missing persons case that quickly becomes one of Colter’s most dangerous with the introduction of the aforementioned underground operation, “The Process.”
According to showrunner Elwood Reid, the third season also plans to explore Reenie’s character and motivations.
