CBS

Justin Hartley, known for his role in *This Is Us*, will return as Colter Shaw, a skilled tracker who helps find missing people across the country. Fiona Rene will also be back as Reenie Greene, a lawyer who often helps Colter out of trouble. Fans were excited to see Jensen Ackles (*Supernatural*) join the show as Colter’s long-lost brother Russell, and he will appear in the first two episodes of the upcoming third season.

Abby McEnany, who played Velma, and Eric Graise, who played Bobby, won’t be back for future seasons of *Tracker*, despite being series regulars for the first two seasons. According to showrunner Elwood Reid, their exits will be addressed in the upcoming season, likely in the first episode. He hinted that both characters might return later on, explaining that Velma is leaving to be with Teddy and Bobby has pursued a new opportunity.

What Can Fans Expect From ‘Tracker’ Season 3?


CBS

The new season picks up after the shocking reveal that Colter’s uncle, Otto, was responsible for his father’s death – acting on his mother’s orders. Colter previously thought his brother, Russell, was to blame. Now, he’s grappling with this devastating news and uncovering a web of family secrets and conspiracies as he tries to understand why his father died.

Jared Padalecki, known for his role in *Supernatural*, will return for the third season alongside Hartley. A central storyline will focus on Colter’s complex relationships with his brother and mother, Mary Shaw (played by Wendy Crewson). The season two finale left viewers with a major cliffhanger, hinting at what’s to come. According to *Tracker* showrunner Elwood Reid, in an interview with *TV Guide*, the revelation that Mary may have been involved in her mother’s murder will deeply affect Colter, and he described it as “devastating.” Reid also shared more details about the upcoming season.

Colter had a feeling something was off with his mother, and now he knows it’s true. But a larger question looms: recalling the events from the pilot episode, his father didn’t seem very stable or kind. Colter will likely explore this in the next season, trying to understand what drove his father to such a desperate situation that his mother needed to ask him for help.

Tracker premieres on October 19, 2025, on CBS.
