Several fans commented on the post to offer their congratulations on the new deal.

“Awesome! Best wishes in your career!” one follower wrote.

Another said, “Loved u in THIS IS US! So glad you got your own show, TRACKER! Congrats on this venture!”

“Wooohoooo!!!!👏👏❤️ Congratulations! Huge fan of TRACKER! Continued blessings!” another person commented.

“Julianna [LaRosa, head of development] and I are delighted to extend our collaboration with 20th. Over the past six years, the studio has championed our projects, resulting in the unparalleled success of TRACKER, the #1 show on television,” Hartley said in a press release. “ChangeUp is ramping up to deliver an impressive slate of upcoming projects, and we are truly fortunate to have such exceptional partners in Eric Schrier, Karey Burke, Carolyn Cassidy, Jane Francis and their outstanding teams.”

TRACKER premiered in 2024 and quickly gained traction as the “season 2 premiere, bringing in 8.3 million total viewers — a nearly 10 percent increase in viewership from the season 1 finale. The season 2 premiere also marked the show’s highest audience since the series debuted in February 2024 after the Super Bowl,” according to US Magazine.

“It’s really the cool show now, right? So, we actually got really lucky. I feel like I blinked, all of a sudden woke up and it’s been 20 years. But I’ve been in this business long enough to have developed these relationships,” Hartley told The Hollywood Reporter in April. “When you see the people on our show that are familiar faces and actors you know, like Jensen Ackles and my wife [Sofia Pernas], these are relationships I’ve had for a long time. I was really grateful I was able to do that.”

“I think they trusted me knowing I’m not going to call them and ask them to do something, or invite them to do something unless I think it’s really cool and fun and would be good for them as well,” he added. “So we start off on that foot, and then this show became what it is. It’s huge. People think it’s cool and want to be a part of it, which is also nice because it allows you to get a bigger pool of talent.”

Fans can expect even more great content from Hartley’s ChangeUp Productions thanks to his new deal with 20th Television.

TRACKER Season 3 will premiere on Sunday, Oct. 19, at 8:00 p.m. ET on CBS.
