Will There Be a Season 3 of “Tracker”? Here's What's Next for Justin Hartley's Colter Shaw

From the returning cast to potential plot details, here’s everything to know about 'Tracker' season 3

Tracker's Colter Shaw has more missing people to find and more rewards to collect.

Back in February 2025, CBS renewed the show for a third season — which isn't exactly surprising, considering Tracker is currently the top show on broadcast TV, averaging at 10.84 million viewers per episode, per Nielsen.

"Thank you all for watching us. Because of the #trackerbackers we get to make more of these @trackercbs episodes. Here we go!!" Hartley wrote on Instagram when season 3 was announced.

The series, based on Jeffery Deaver’s novel The Never Game, follows lone-wolf survivalist Shaw (Justin Hartley), who helps law enforcement find people in exchange for a finder's fee. The season 2 finale — which aired on May 11 — saw Shaw reunite with his mother (Wendy Crewson) when he headed home to Echo Ridge to investigate the case of a missing diner owner.

From returning cast members to potential plot details, here’s everything to know about Tracker season 3.

Will there be a season 3 of Tracker?

Yes, Tracker will return for a third season. CBS announced the show's renewal in February 2025 — and Hartley had the honor of delivering the news to the show's cast and crew.

"Because of all the hard work you've done on season 2, they have picked us up for season 3," he said in a video posted on Instagram. "I just want to say thank you for all your hard work and dedication."

What will Tracker season 3 be about?

CBS hasn't released any specific plot details about Tracker season 3. However, during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in April 2025, Hartley did share an idea he and producers have been "kicking around" for a while.

"It would be interesting, I think, to see him be set up. In other words, to see him using all those skills to run from the authorities," he said. "I’d love to have all that tie into the family background, the government."

Hartley continued, "We have the underlying theme of what we’re going to do next year, while not really changing the direction of where our story is going."

Which cast members are returning for season 3 of Tracker?

Hartley will reprise his role as Colter Shaw in Tracker season 3.
