USAMon Oct 20 2025

Tracker, the popular drama series starring Justin Hartley, is back for its third season. The show, based on Jeffery Deaver's crime novel The Never Game, has captivated viewers since its debut in February 2024.

In Season 3, Hartley reprises his role as Colter, a survivalist who traverses the country to find missing people. The new season picks up where the last one left off, with Colter grappling with tough truths about his family's past. With the help of his team, he must focus on his job: using his skills to locate missing individuals and collect rewards.

There are some significant changes in the cast for Season 3. Abby McEnany and Eric Graise won't be returning as regulars, but fans can look forward to the return of Fiona Rene, Jensen Ackles, Brent Sexton, and Chris Lee.

Premiere and Upcoming Episodes

The premiere of Season 3 kicked off with a gripping two-part storyline that left both Colter and Russell in danger. In an interview, Hartley hinted that the show is about to take a turn that viewers haven't seen before.
