Midseason Finale Cliffhanger
The latest episode, 'Good Trouble,' saw Colter Shaw team up with old friend John Keaton, played by Brent Sexton. What started as a favor turned into a deadly setup, with Shaw realizing too late he was the target. Bullets flew as he swerved to escape, only for the car to careen off a cliff in a heart-pounding close.[1]
This reversal puts Shaw's survival skills to the ultimate test. Fans are buzzing about how he'll escape—if he does—and what it means for his alliance with Keaton. The episode's tension has amplified the trend, with searches spiking post-airing.[1]
Colter's usual role as the unflappable tracker makes this vulnerability especially gripping. The storyline ties into ongoing threads like the ruthless killer Emile Lang, promising deeper intrigue upon return.[1]
When Does Tracker Return?
New episodes resume on Sunday, March 1, 2026, marking the end of the hiatus. Tracker shifts to the 9 pm ET/PT timeslot (9/8c), up from its previous 8 pm slot. This change accommodates CBS's lineup, including the Yellowstone spinoff Y: Marshals in the old spot.[1]
Season 3 Episode 10 will pick up the pieces, resolving the cliffhanger and advancing the Emile Lang plot. Expect returns from Det. Willa Simms (Jes Macallan) and new faces like Sasha Roiz as Police Commissioner Ross Bogart, who may harbor secrets.[1]
Streaming options remain robust: Watch live on CBS or catch up on Paramount+ with Premium for same-day access or Essential the next day. Reruns may air soon, like Season 2 episodes on December 27.[1][2]
What to Do During Hiatus
While waiting, revisit past episodes on Paramount+ or CBS.com. Season 3 has featured standout stories like 'No Man's Land' in Arizona deserts and 'The Old Ways' uncovering off-grid dangers. These highlight Shaw's resourcefulness in extreme conditions.[4]
The show's success stems from Hartley's charismatic performance and tight, case-of-the-week format blended with overarching mysteries. It's a staple Sunday night watch, fitting CBS's procedural vibe.[1][3]
