CBS's Tracker follows Justin Hartley as Colter Shaw as he travels around the United States for different cases, but the majority of the TV show is filmed in one location (and it's not in the United States). The action drama series, created by Ben H. Winters, is based on Jeffery Deaver's 2019 novel The Never Game, which also centers around Colter, a survivalist who makes his living by taking on civilian cases and consulting with local law enforcement to find lost people and things. Consequently, Colter is always on the move, never settling in one place for very long.
Tracker was CBS's highest-rated scripted series during the 20232024 season.
Aside from Hartley, the cast of Tracker includes the likes of Fiona Rene, Abby McEnany, and Eric Graise, and special guest appearances by notable stars like Jensen Ackles and Jennifer Morrison. Since it is a procedural series and Colter travels the country for his profession, each episode contains a new set of characters. Nevertheless, they all gather in one city to film most of Tracker's scenes — Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
