Tracker Season 2: Release Date, Cast, Story, Trailer & Everything We Know

By Steven Gonzalez 10/06/2025

The critical reception to the fledgling series has been largely positive, with many praising the simple but effective approach to the procedural format that has thoroughly run its course (via Rotten Tomatoes). Despite an abundance of the genre on TV, procedurals that aren't cop shows prove to be consistently popular because they can use the case-per-week formula without getting bogged down in the repetitiveness of actual police and law proceedings. CBS saw something strong in the first few episodes of Tracker, and the show was quickly renewed for another case.

“Haunted, attractive… Camille has been Colter’s off-and-on lover for at least the past 10 years. Camille’s sister went missing 10 years ago and her case was never solved — which brings up some trauma for both Camille and Colter on every anniversary of her disappearance, but also causes them to reconnect, at least for an evening.”

In an extreme vote of confidence in the young series, CBS opted to renew Tracker for a second season before the first batch of episodes even concluded. The network is keen to keep the show's success going in to its sophomore season, and Tracker

season 2 will resume its place as one of CBS' crown jewels when it premiers on Sunday, October 13, at 8pm.

Colter Shaw Is Back On The Case

As is the case with most procedurals, the cast of Tracker season 2 is going to look familiar with Justin Hartley returning as the rugged survival expert Colter Shaw. Besides a slew of supporting characters who help to connect Shaw to his past, the series employs a wide range of guest stars in each episode as the eponymous tracker earns his rewards by helping those who need his services the most. At this juncture, it is impossible to guess who those guest stars could be.

It has been confirmed that two guest stars will return to reprise their roles in season 2, which suggests they are being promoted to recurring status going forward. Justin Hartley himself announced that Sofia Pernas will be back as Billie, while Jennifer Morrison will reprise her role as Lizzy in the sophomore outing. Hartley also teased more family drama in season 2, hinting that Jensen Ackles will be back as Colter's brother, Russell Shaw. The only departure thus far is that of Robin Weigert who appeared in season 1 as Teddi Bruin.

The expected returning cast of Tracker season 2 includes:

At this juncture, it is impossible to speculate on what exactly will happen in the new episodes of Tracker when season 2 does finally roll around. Though season 1 has hinted at Colter's past and explored why he opted for such a nomadic lifestyle, those questions will not be fully answered in just one season. Therefore, aside from the case-per-week format, season 2 of Tracker can be expected to shine more light on the mysterious Colter Shaw and his father.

The official Instagram account for Tracker shared the first teaser trailer for the second season in August 2024, and it doesn't reveal much about the upcoming episodes. Comprised of a series of disconnected clips, the trailer features Colter in various situations of danger and excitement as he earns his rewards. The teaser also doesn't offer any clues about how the second season will advance Colter's backstory.

As the October return of Tracker gets closer and closer, CBS has released a full trailer for the sophomore season. The teaser introduces Colter as he is once again running up against law enforcement who don't want him around. He is then seen on various cases, including one that seemingly sees him square off against a UFO. Though specific details are kept secret, Colter will also reunite with his brother.
