Justin Hartley Stars in 'Tracker' Series Premiere on CBS

The new thriller series, aired after the Super Bowl, marks Hartley's return to network TV with a character distinct from his role in 'This Is Us'.

'Tracker', starring Justin Hartley, premiered on CBS following the Super Bowl, introducing viewers to Colter Shaw, a lone-wolf survivalist and reward seeker.
Based on the book 'The Never Game' by Jeffery Deaver, the series departs from the source material but maintains the character's sensibilities.
The series operates as a procedural, with Shaw taking on new missing persons cases each week, while also dealing with his own fractured family.
Hartley, also an executive producer, expressed pride in the show, which survived through a pandemic, writers strike, and actors strike to premiere in a coveted post-Super Bowl slot.
Critics offer mixed reviews, with some highlighting the show's potential and others criticizing its execution and reliance on Hartley's physical appeal.
