Tracker is a hit CBS drama series starring Justin Hartley as Colter Shaw, a lone survivalist and professional reward hunter who travels across the United States tackling high-stakes assignments. The primetime procedural drama draws inspiration from author Jeffery Deaver's bestselling novel, The Never Game.
The show's lineup has undergone notable cast shakeups and reorganizations during its run. Actor Cassady McClincy Zhang, introduced as a recurring character named Mel who works alongside attorney Reenie, was elevated to a permanent series regular role. This promotion followed major cast changes, including the unexpected departure of actor Eric Graise from the drama series.
Creative updates for the series highlight evolving storylines for its main character. Executive producer and showrunner Elwood Reid revealed that Season 2 will introduce a brand-new romantic interest for Colter Shaw to showcase his personal life away from high-stakes work. Additionally, Hartley has addressed the show's fast-paced action formula, noting a behind-the-scenes push to scale back the character's weekly lethal body count for greater believability.
