Where Is Tracker Filmed? Justin Hartley’s Hit CBS Show’s Setting & Locations Explained

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.

Since the production of Tracker seasons 1 and 2 are stationed in Vancouver, it makes sense that the cast and crew would utilize the famous Vancouver Film Studios, a production facility where numerous movies and TV shows are filmed. Vancouver Film Studios opened in 1997, and since then, thousands of projects have used its sound stages to capture various scenes. Movies like The Day the Earth Stood StillFifty Shades of GreyElfX-Men: The Last StandDeadpoolThe Twilight Saga: New Moon, and many others were shot at Vancouver Film Studios.

Everything that can't be filmed on location for Justin Hartley's action drama show is shot at Vancouver Film Studios.

Aside from Tracker, TV shows such as FringeArrowBates MotelThe Haunting of Bly Manor, and the CBS series Fire Country have also used the Vancouver Film Studios to film episodes. So, the facility is a popular pick among production crews. Everything that can't be filmed on location for Justin Hartley's action drama show is shot at Vancouver Film Studios. Some of the best Colter Shaw moments in Tracker season 1 were undoubtedly captured in the studio, like when he broke into the Burger Bin office during the pilot episode.
