‘Supernatural’ Star Jensen Ackles Lands Guest Role on CBS Drama ‘Tracker’

Jensen Ackles will play Justin Hartley’s estranged brother on ‘This Is Us’ in the upcoming series.

Jensen Ackles fans are in for a treat as the ‘Supernatural’ star is set to make a guest appearance on the CBS drama ‘Tracker’. Showrunner Justin Hartley broke the news in an Instagram video, revealing Ackles is the “perfect casting choice” to play Russell Shaw – the estranged brother of Hartley’s character, Colter Shaw.

Ackles will appear in the May 12 episode, where Russell enlists Colter’s expert tracking skills to find a missing military friend. The episode promises to feature drama and perhaps a little sibling rivalry as the Shaw brothers reunite.
Ackles, beloved for his iconic role as Dean Winchester on ‘Supernatural,’ has been busy since the show ended. He notably played Soldier Boy on Amazon’s hit ‘The Boys’ and its spinoff ‘Gen V,’ and recently joined the cast of ABC’s ‘Big Sky.’ His appearance on ‘Tracker’ marks a brief reunion with former CW alum Justin Hartley.

‘Tracker,’ inspired by Jeffery Deaver’s novel ‘The Never Game,’ follows former military survivor Colter Shaw (Hartley) as he uses his skills to solve mysteries for civilians and law enforcement. With four episodes remaining and a second season already secured, Ackles’ guest spot adds another layer of intrigue to the show’s future.
