TRACKER’s star and executive producer Justin Hartley teased that the show’s biggest questions will be answered near the end of Season 3.
The biggest question is whether his character Colter Shaw’s father is still alive.
“I think it’s time we found out right? We’re in our third season here. We’re going to find out that exact thing in the last couple of episodes,” Hartley said on CBS MORNINGS this week.
Hartley looks forward to the finale — it’s something different than what fans have seen before.
The fans have “been waiting this long. We’ve been giving them little bits of the story, and now a big huge chunk comes out, but I think there’ll be surprises as well,” he said.
The actor’s wife, Sofia Pernas, appeared a few times on the show.

“She’s an incredible actor and just brings, like, a physicality to her role on the show,” he explained. “…I’m just very fond of her. I just enjoy being around her.”
Hartley is famous for a pensive look that he perfected as the show progressed.
“He walks different,” Hartley said of his character. “He’s a thinker. As the show goes on maybe you get better at it, I guess.”
The CBS crew also asked Hartley what the best advice he’s ever received is.
“Mind your business,” he quipped. That “would be the best piece of advice.”
He also said he might have MATLOCK’s Jason Ritter on the show.
“We can find a role for him. He said he wanted to be a damsel in distress or something. We could find something for him,” he said.
The show has been the biggest series on CBS since it premiered in 2023. That is, until the YELLOWSTONE spinoff, MARSHALS, hit the scene. The show’s premiere pushed TRACKER out of its primo spot with 26.5 million average viewers. Meanwhile, TRACKER pulls in about 16.4 million, per Collider.
The shows have helped establish CBS as the leading network for scripted viewing.
Hartley credits some of the show’s success to how his character, Colter, is portrayed.
“One of the things I really love about Colter and the way we’ve built him is that he doesn’t apologize for his masculinity,” Hartley said.
“He’s a man through and through,” Hartley said. “And that doesn’t mean you have to be the loudest person in the room and know every single…thing and throw tables around and scream and shout and yell and smoke and drink. He’s all about talking with people.”
The show’s finale will air on May 24 on CBS at 9 p.m. ET, according to Good Housekeeping. It is already renewed for Season 4.
