CBS’s action-packed procedural Trackerstarring Justin Hartley as survivalist Colter Shaw, has captivated audiences since its 2024 premiere. With Season 2 wrapping up on May 11, 2025, fans are eager to know: Is Tracker Season 3 happening? Here’s everything we know so far about the renewal.
Yes, Tracker Season 3 is officially confirmed! CBS announced the renewal in February 2025, alongside eight other shows, signaling strong confidence in the series. Justin Hartley, who stars as Colter Shaw and serves as an executive producer, shared the exciting news with the cast and crew, stating, “Because of all the hard work you’ve done on Season 2, they have picked us up for Season 3.” The show’s massive viewership—averaging 10.84 million viewers per episode—has made it the top broadcast TV series, ensuring its return.
CBS has confirmed that Tracker Season 3 will air during the 2025-2026 broadcast season, likely retaining its Sunday 8 p.m. ET slot. While an exact premiere date hasn’t been announced, past seasons suggest a fall 2025 release, possibly October. Hartley estimated the season will include 18–22 episodes, offering plenty of new cases for fans.
Tracker follows a procedural format with standalone cases where Colter uses his tracking skills to find missing persons for rewards. Season 3 is expected to continue this structure, blending weekly mysteries with an overarching narrative about Colter’s family. The Season 2 finale, “Echo Ridge,” uncovered a decades-old kidnapping and a family secret, leaving questions about the death of Colter’s father, Ashton Shaw. Showrunner Elwood Reid teased that Season 3 will explore these mysteries further, with a reconfigured team dynamic to keep the show fresh.
