- February 14, 2026
AceShowbiz - Fans of the hit CBS procedural Tracker can celebrate as the series has officially been renewed for a fourth season. The announcement comes shortly after the show secured its position as the second most-watched program during the 2024-2025 TV season, trailing only ABC’s breakout hit High Potential.
Tracker stars Justin Hartley as Colter Shaw, a uniquely skilled missing persons expert who uses his extensive knowledge and specialized abilities to navigate dangerous and mysterious cases. Unlike many procedural dramas that feature large ensemble casts, Tracker focuses on Shaw’s solo missions, blending thrilling case-of-the-week storylines with deeper family drama and personal mystery.
The series is based on Jeffery Deaver’s bestselling novel, The Never Game, which provides a strong narrative foundation for the show’s blend of suspense and emotional depth. Shaw’s character is supported by a rotating cast of allies who assist him throughout his investigations, adding layers of complexity and intrigue to the ongoing story.
The renewal for Tracker places it among CBS’ original programming successes, alongside renewed favorites such as Matlock, George & Mandy’s First Marriage, and Elsbeth. All of these titles ranked within the network’s Top 10 for the season, highlighting CBS’ ability to maintain a robust lineup of compelling original shows.
The third season of Tracker concluded on December 14 with the episode titled “Good Trouble,” which left audiences on a suspenseful cliffhanger. As fans eagerly await the new season, anticipation is high to see how Colter Shaw will navigate the unresolved challenges and new threats that lie ahead.
Justin Hartley’s portrayal of Shaw continues to be a standout, delivering a nuanced performance that balances the intensity of the procedural with the emotional stakes of the character’s personal life. The show’s success is a testament to its engaging storytelling and strong fanbase, which has grown steadily since its debut.
Looking forward, the upcoming season is expected to premiere in the fall, joining CBS’ slate of returning hits. With its combination of gripping mysteries and character-driven drama, Tracker remains a key player in the network’s strategy to captivate viewers and maintain high ratings.
As the series moves into its fourth season, fans can anticipate new cases, deeper character development, and the continuation of Colter Shaw’s quest to solve the most challenging missing persons cases. The renewal solidifies Tracker as a flagship procedural for CBS, promising more suspenseful storytelling in the seasons to come.
