Jensen Ackles made a name for himself playing Dean Winchester for 15 years in Supernatural, but now he has a new role that everyone can't stop talking about. Ackles starred in Episode 12 of Tracker Season 1, which follows Colter (Justin Hartley) as he teams up with his estranged brother, Russell (Ackles), who enlists his help to track down his former Army colleague who went missing after several weeks of strange behavior. Now, People Magazine has the first look at Ackles and Hartley's Colter-Russell reunion, which is due to happen in Season 2, Episode 2, "Ontological Shock." The second episode will follow Reenie (Fiona Rene) who calls Russell for help after Colter disappears while searching for a missing father. Hartley gave a statement to People about what a pleasure it was to be working with Ackles again on Tracker:
"Jensen and I have known each other for a long time, we have have never had a chance to work together. Jensen is the perfect guy to play Russell. It's such a well fleshed out character in the book and even more so with what we've done in the show. And then Jensen just brings it to the next level."
Tracker was a major hit for Paramount+ after premiering earlier this year in February and running through to the end of May. Now, less than six months later, Tracker returns with a batch of new episodes, slated to premiere on October 13 with Season 2, Episode 1, titled "Out of the Past." The first episode will follow Colter as he investigates the disappearance of a family whose car was found abandoned in Arkansas when a shocking revelation about the family's mother sends him down into the dark world of organized crime. In addition to Hartley as Colter Shaw, Tracker Season 2 also stars Abby McEnany as Velma Bruin, Eric Graise as Bobby Exley, Aliyah Brooks as Amy, and Erik Gow as Craig King.
