Next Month is Going To Be Huge for ‘Tracker’ Fans

The Season 2 debut of Tracker is just around the corner and to celebrate the occasion, the premiere season will be extending its streaming reach to Hulu. Previously available on CBS, Paramount+, and through premium subscriptions, now even those with Hulu’s most basic plan can get caught up on the Justin Hartley-led drama series. This is terrific news for those who may have missed the boat when the first batch of episodes aired earlier this year, especially with the follow-up set to arrive on CBS on October 13.

Hartley stars in the procedural as Colter Shaw, the kind of man you’d want to have on your case if you vanished without a trace. With a natural knack for solving puzzles and the know-how to survive in extreme conditions, Colter aids law enforcement in some of their most challenging missing persons cases. The first season saw Colter track down a missing boy, an MMA fighter, and even a horse, all while handling his own personal family drama behind closed doors. Speaking of that family drama, the breakout season also introduced audiences to Colter’s brother, Russell Shaw, played by Supernatural and The Boys alum, Jensen Ackles, who’s set to reprise his role in Season 2.

For those wondering how Ackles will mix in with the developing plot of Season 2, Tracker’s showrunner, Elwood Reid, recently teased how they plan to build on those strained family dynamics and reunite the estranged brothers again. The episode in question will dip into the unexplainable side of things, as the pair are off investigating a missing persons case in which a UFO is involved. According to Reid, while Colter and Russell are off hunting aliens:

“There’s a secret that is revealed about their father that lands with both brothers. There’s a memory you’ll see that Colter doesn’t have that his brother does about Colter and their father. Now that the brothers are on better terms, they can actually compare notes and make some progress.”
