More about the upcoming season

Adapted from Jeffery Deaver’s novel ‘The Never Game’, ‘Tracker’ follows Colter Shaw, a skilled survivalist and investigator who travels across the country solving missing-person cases while grappling with his own turbulent past. Season 3 picks up where the last left off — but this time, the stakes are deeply personal.

The new chapter delves into Colter’s search for the truth about his father’s mysterious death, unearthing secrets that intertwine with his latest investigation. Teaming up once again with his estranged brother Russell Shaw (Jensen Ackles), Colter is drawn into a dark conspiracy that tests both his intellect and his integrity.

This season’s central case begins with a seemingly straightforward disappearance — a missing wife and daughter — but quickly spirals into something far more sinister.

The brothers find themselves entangled in a shadowy network known as “The Process”, an underground organisation that operates beyond the reach of law and morality. As the mystery deepens, Colter must navigate dangerous alliances and moral dilemmas, forcing him to question everything he believes about family, forgiveness, and justice.

Meet the cast of season three

The emotional core of the season is strengthened by the return of Cynthia Addai-Robinson as Mary Shaw, Colter’s mother. Her concealed motives and long-buried secrets add layers of tension, blurring the line between protector and betrayer.

“Tracker wouldn’t be Tracker without the thrilling twists, intense chases, and smart detective work fans have come to love,” Hartley recently said, promising a season that balances action with introspection.

As the series races toward its most revealing arc yet, Tracker continues to stand out among network thrillers for its mix of heart, mystery, and adrenaline. Season 3 is set to deliver not only the answers Colter Shaw has been searching for, but also the emotional reckoning he’s spent his life avoiding.
