Tracker’s first season officially wrapped it all up several weeks ago, setting things for the series’ exciting future as it proved its stunning success by surpassing CBS’ police procedural giant NCIS and becoming the network’s most-watched show of the season.
The season 1 finale left fans pretty reassured that Colter Shaw’s focus on his work is already in the past and it’s finally time to dive deeper into the character’s biggest family mystery that may unveil dark sides of his beloved ones.
However, with more of Colter’s background coming to light, Tracker also risks completely overlooking its other characters that have been misrepresented all this time.
Tracker initially follows Colter Shaw, a private investigator who embarks on cross-country trips to give a helping hand to those who want their own mysteries to be uncovered, but it’s actually not him who does all the work.

CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach came to the Banff World Media Festival on Tuesday amid unprecedented change in the global industry.
“It’s definitely a time of tumult and change,” Reisenbach said during an informal In Conversation With: series address. “Despite everything that’s going on, we have this fantastic year and we feel like we have all this momentum going into the next season.”
Reisenbach’s appearance in Banff came as CBS Entertainment-parent Paramount Global, the Hollywood studio led by controlling shareholder, Shari Redstone, weighs a possible takeover by Skydance and RedBird Capital, or other potential suitors. “I can’t comment on anything regarding M&a. It’s very much above my head,” she said at the outset of her talk.

The fate of CBS owner Paramount Global remains way up in the air, and the future of broadcast TV in general remains a big question mark. But as CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach said on Tuesday at the Banff World Media Festival, that’s not stopping her from plotting her primetime development plans way into the future.
“What’s great as we’re talking about 2025-26, in some cases, we’ve even pinpointed places where we want to be developing for 2026-27 already,” she said. “That’s the joy of working at CBS, and with the schedule and the stability that we have on the schedule, that we can think that far in advance. We’re crazy if we’re not taking advantage of that.”

CBS’ brand new action drama show Tracker was quick to conquer the network viewers’ hearts as the series’ first ever season reached a major milestone, dethroning CBS’ long-running NCIS on the list of the most-watched shows this season.
Having so far left fans with only one season and a major cliffhanger that will find its explanation in the next installment, Tracker surely brought some refreshment to the network’s schedule, and the mid-season plot twist does seem to be something that eventually guaranteed the show’s immense success.
Launched back in February, Tracker followed private investigator Colter Shaw and his cross-country trips during which he helped uncover citizens’ mystery until one of his own hasn’t suddenly come along.
As the first season proceeded to dive deeper into Colter’s personality rather than his work routine that the viewers had already had enough of, the whole storyline got even more...

CBS’s hit show Tracker, starring Justin Hartley as Colter Shaw, has surprisingly emerged as television’s most-watched series, with its first season finale drawing 7 million live viewers this past May. What sets this show apart, however, isn’t just its gripping main plot but the intricate and often messy family drama that unfolds as a subplot. Tracker follows a lone-wolf survivalist named Colter Shaw (Hartley), who roams the country as a ‘reward seeker,’ using his expert tracking skills to help private citizens and law enforcement solve all manner of mysteries while contending with his own fractured family, explains Mike Benson.

There's something to be said for a first-season show where the struggle is real to find many negatives.
It's rare for a television series to have a perfect season, and we're certainly not going to say that Tracker Season 1 didn't have any flaws, but the show had a damn good start.
Justin Hartley was perfectly cast as reward seeker Colter Shaw, an independent man with a fractured family who devoted his life to travel, solitude, and helping to find missing people, sometimes even when they didn't necessarily want to be found.
The action drama was refreshing because it differed from the typical procedurals found everywhere else.
Tracker had cases of the week, but they were far from typical, and just the sheer fact that Colter took cases all over the country made for episodes that were wildly different from one week to the next.

The Bear’s third season is landing on Hulu this month after a long anticipation, and a brand new trailer for the upcoming installment proves that there’ll be something more than just a mess in the restaurant’s kitchen.
With Carmy’s determination to transform his brother’s diner into an haute cuisine establishment on the foreground, the show’s latest season didn’t shy away from diving deep into the character’s family drama showing that there are so many issues for him to resolve in the future.
If the trailer’s most notable detail is indeed a sneak peek into the upcoming season’s focus shift, The Bear will surely go down the same road as CBS hit series Tracker recently did, and that’s what fans definitely want (and need).

Meanwhile, our favorite redeemed bad guy, Manny, is back in cuffs after years on the straight and narrow. It will be a long wait for Fire Country Season 3 to find out if he's going back to prison or free.
We started with a Bode-Gabriela breakup to start the season and a wedding of Gabriela-Diego to close the season out.
We saw a wedding, but did we witness a marriage? Bode still loves Gabs, and we're sure she loves him. So, did she marry wrong-guy Diego? The only "I do" we actually heard was from Manny.
Maybe there's hope for Bodela when Fire Country Season 3 returns. Here's our breakdown of Fire Country Season 2.

Saturday Night Live remains a hit with the youth.
The long-running NBC show, which just finished up Season 49, remained the number one entertainment series across ad-supported broadcast and cable in the 18-49 demo for the 2023-24 season.
It earned a 1.13 in the demo, beating out series such as Fox’s Krapopolis, which got a 1.1, and CBS’ Survivor and Tracker, which both got a 1.0.
This meant that the show was the number one comedy in the demo for the fifth season in a row.
This was, however, down from numbers posted over the last few years. For instance, in 2021, the show got a 2.06 in the demo. That year it drew 9 million total viewers overall in Live+7 numbers.
In the 2023/24 broadcast season, the show averaged 7.2 million viewers, per Nielsen. This was up 3% from last year.
These numbers, particularly among younger viewers, were presumably helped by hosts such as Pete Davidson, Bad Bunny,...

The odds are in Tracker’s favor, as the show has just triumphantly ended the 2023-2024 TV season garnering an impressive amount of viewers and surpassing even CBS’ long-standing giant NCIS.
Apart from NCIS, Tracker is followed by CBS’ other successful projects, and though many of them came quite close to the number one position, the Justin Hartley-led action drama show is still on top. Fair to say it does seem like a good sign for the upcoming second season.
According to Variety’s reports, in CBS’ race for the fans’ love Tracker got more than 10 million viewers, while NCIS ended up with a bit less than 10 million, followed by other CBS darlings like Young Sheldon, Blue Bloods, NCIS: Hawai’i and Elsbeth.

Tracker’s first season officially wrapped it all up several days ago, leaving a lot of issues for the next installment to resolve. The season finale left everyone on the hook with a huge cliffhanger concerning Colter Shaw’s family mystery, but now it seems like all the family drama won’t be the only big plot twist in the upcoming season.
With some other major characters who have been confirmed to return in season 2, someone else is also set to get back to the screen.
Following the season 1 ending that was aired on May 19, Tracker’s star Justin Hartley got candid about what fans may expect to see in the show’s next installment.
Apart from the confirmed comeback of Colter’s entire family, including his estranged and pretty suspicious brother Russell, portrayed by Jensen Ackles, Hartley also dropped another big spoiler by revealing that Billie Matalon “is definitely coming back.

Football continues to act as the glue that holds the broadcast nets together, while Justin Hartley’s Tracker found more viewers this season than longtime victor NCIS.
The 2023-24 Nielsen charts also revealed how Young Sheldon was able to go out on top, while many other CBS series remained in the total viewer top 20. Yet one of the bigger head scratchers was the performance by the network’s Blue Bloods, which, despite averaging 8.1 million viewers this year, is on its way out.
The police drama still does better than The Equalizer (7.7 million) and Fire Country (7.1 million), but the Tom Selleck series is scheduled to wrap at year’s end for its 14th and final season.
“We love this cast, we love their passion for the show,” CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach told reporters in early May. “All shows have to come to an end. It’s important to us to refresh the schedule.

For decades, TV shows lived and died by their ratings among adults 18-49, the demographic sweet spot for advertisers to reach a wide swath of potential customers with money to spend but without the lifelong habits about how to spend it. That’s not really the case anymore as an emphasis on engagement and reach in the streaming era, along with a focus on precisely targeted ads, means chasing demos is even more data-driven than it was in the pre-streaming age. That shift aligns with the reality that, thanks to streaming and the relentless pull of algorithmic content apps, only a small part of a given show’s on-air audience falls into the once coveted demo.
The median age for a network primetime viewer long has been above 50 — this year, it comes in at 64.6 for the five English-language broadcast networks. Cable is much the same, with such networks as Bravo...

Tracker’s first season officially wrapped it all up last week, as its finale left a lot to be explored in the next installment, and chances are Supernatural’s star Jensen Ackles will be back to the show once again. In season 1, the actor made an exciting and long-anticipated appearance as Colter Shaw’s estranged brother Russell whose storyline is surely not over yet.
Now that Ackles has seemingly cemented his character’s importance for everything that’s going to happen next, Tracker’s leading actor has given some sneak peeks into the production process, even revealing that getting Russell’s role was a somewhat easy thing for his co-star who just needed to free some space for it.
Following Tracker’s season 1 ending, the show’s main actor Justin Hartley reflected on that moment when the crew had decided to cast Jensen Ackles as his on-screen brother. Hartley stressed...

Regular old CBS can still make new hits.
That’s the takeaway from Nielsen’s report on the 100 most-watched primetime broadcast and cable series of the 2023-24 season (via Variety), which lists the freshman drama series “Tracker” as TV’s top non-sports program. It’s the first time a new series has been the No. 1 show since “Survivor” in 2000, per CBS.
“Tracker” capitalized on its coveted post-Super Bowl series premiere slot and lack of new series competition in the midst of a strike-disrupted broadcast season, averaging 10.8 million total viewers per episode in Season 1 on the way to becoming the most-watched new series since “Desperate Housewives” in 2024-25. The series, which stars “This Is Us” veteran Justin Hartley as a survivalist who helps find missing persons, beat out second-place drama “NCIS” by more than a million viewers.
CBS also has the year’s top comedy series, the final season of “Young Sheldon.

TV audiences tracked down “Tracker” in a big way this season. The freshman CBS drama, which stars Justin Hartley as a survivalist who helps law enforcement and others solve tough cases, was the 2023-24 TV season’s most-watched entertainment series. According to the Eye network, that’s the first time a first-year TV series was ranked as the No. 1 show since “Survivor” premiered as an instant phenomenon in 2000.
“Tracker” was helped, of course, by premiering in February behind Super Bowl Lviii — giving it a huge jump start. And this was an unusual, truncated TV season due to the Hollywood strikes, which meant limited episodic orders for most programs. Last year’s top-rated show, Paramount Network’s “Yellowstone,” hasn’t aired an original episode in more than a year — and yet still made the charts, but via repeats that aired this season on CBS.

Tracker’s season 1 is officially wrapped up after its finale aired earlier this week, and now there’s certainly a lot of intriguing things to come in the next installment.
While the second season has yet to reveal any official details to fans, the season 1 finale surely left the viewers on the hook with a major cliffhanger that Colter Shaw will need to deal with in the upcoming season.
Though the show’s biggest mystery will most likely take up most of the future storyline, there’s another aspect of Colter’s life that needs to be brought to life, and it has something to do with the series’ overlooked character.
The first season’s ending proved that Colter has no chance while he keeps escaping his family drama and it’s time to finally face it and make all the things clear. The next installment yet has to decide...

American Idol ended Season 22 on a high note.
The long-running singing competition series bid farewell to judge Katy Perry during Sunday’s finale episode, with an audience of 5.64M tuning in, according to live + same-day data. That was an 8% increase over the week prior to reach a season high in total viewers.
The finale was up fairly significantly versus the Season 22 average, which was around 4.8M viewers per episode on Sunday nights and 4.1M for Monday nights.
It’s the best the series has done since the Season 21 finale, which aired in May of last year. But, this year’s finale was down about a million viewers compared to that episode. The season overall saw about a 500K average viewer decrease compared to Season 21.

Tracker ended on a high note for CBS.
The Justin Hartley-led missing persons drama ended its Season 1 run on Sunday night, raking in 7.36M live + same-day viewers across linear and streaming, according to Paramount.
That’s up 5% from the week prior and up 3% versus the show’s post-Super Bowl audience average. The series kicked off in February with a larger-than-life premiere audience, thanks to a lead-in from the Chiefs-49ers game.
Paramount says live streaming across Paramount+ and CBS digital apps saw a boost as well. Tracker gained 77% on the broadcast finale that aired in this time period last year, which was East New York.
It’s no surprise that Tracker received an early Season 2 renewal back in March. Deadline spoke with Hartley about the dramatic conclusion, which he says will usher in a “bigger mystery” in Season 2.

Hey, "Tracker" fans. It's that time again. We're back in your faces to deliver another new round of Tracker spoiler scoops. This time, we're going to talk about what is going down in the next, new, finale episode 13 of this current, premiere season 1, which is due to show up tonight, May 19, 2024. We were able to track down an official teaser description for one of episode 13's main storylines straight from CBS via their official episode 13 press release synopsis. So, let's get started with it right now. First thing's first. The writers decided to name this new episode 13 of Tracker season 1, "The Storm." It sounds like episode 13 will feature some more very interesting, intense, dramatic, action-filled, suspenseful and possible scandalous scenes. In this new episode 13, the investigation of missing amateur storm chasers is the main focus of this storyline that CBS chose to reveal.

The final episodes of Young Sheldon drew a big crowd for CBS.
The comedy ended its seven-season run Thursday night with 9.32 million viewers for its series finale, according to final same-day ratings from Nielsen (which don’t include streaming). That’s the biggest same-day audience for the show in four years — since its third season finale on April 30, 2020.
Young Sheldon ended with a pair of episodes, and the first drew almost as many viewers (9.15 million) at 8 p.m. Et/Pt as the 8:30 p.m. finale.
