Tracker season 3 gets a major update, revealing when new episodes will premiere. As the top-rated drama on broadcast television, Tracker season 2 ended on a major cliffhanger. Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley) had long believed that finding out the truth about what happened to his father would set him free, though it ultimately raises more painful questions.
Tracker‘s season 2 ending explained that it was Colter’s mother who wanted her husband, Ashton Shaw (Lee Tergesen), to be murdered. Assuming the hired hitman is being truthful, it sets up a whole different dynamic for Colter when new episodes start rolling out very soon.
TVLine confirms that Tracker season 3 will debut on Sunday, October 19 at 8 PM ET. The release date falls in line with season 2, which also debuted in October. As of now, it is the only scripted show that CBS has lined up for Sunday nights.
What Tracker Season 3 Means For The Show
Big Changes To The Story Are Ahead
It’s not only that Mary Dove Shaw (Wendy Crewson) arranged for Ashton to be murdered. She also tried to divide Colter and Russell (Jensen Ackles), suggesting that the Shaw brothers were better off staying away from each other. This raises two questions at the very least. The first is why she wanted her husband dead.
The second is the question of why she wanted to keep her family apart. It’s a weighty environment for the Tracker cast, which includes Abby McEnany, Eric Graise, and Fiona Rene, to wade back into. They all have their own stories, which have been steadily building. Reenie (played by Rene) formed a friendship and partnership with Velma (McEnany).

Ashton Shaw’s death has been a major mystery throughout Tracker seasons 1 and 2, but the truth behind his death is closer than ever now.
Bobby has become something of a Tracker fan-favorite, who may well get a bigger spotlight in the upcoming episodes. The show will also need to continue to balance its procedural, case-of-the-week stories with longer arcs. That could mean that Colter has to compartmentalize whatever it is that’s going on with his family in an effort to move forward.
Our Take On Tracker Season 2
It’s A Delicate Balance
Colter may be facing his biggest emotional challenge yet. But that’s true of Tracker season 3 as well. The hit drama, executive produced by Ken Olin, Ben H. Winters, Elwood Reid, Sharon Lee Watson, and Hartley himself, will have to navigate maintaining the winning tone even while everything around Colter gets increasingly dark.
