‘Tracker’: Release Date, Cast, Plot, and Everything We Know So Far
It’s safe to say that the crime and mystery genre has had a resurgence over the past few months. With amateur sleuths and troubled detectives cooler, smarter, and more complex than ever, a whole new audience has been drawn to grisly crimes and hard-to-crack cases on the small screen. In late 2023, we saw the team behind The OA make a spectacular return with the psychological mystery thriller A Murder at the End of the World, which saw Emma Corrin receive critical acclaim for her nuanced portrayal of amateur sleuth and hacker Darby Hart. It looks like 2024 is off to a promising start as well, with Jodie Foster and Kali Reis currently starring as Detectives Danvers and Navarro in Season 4 of True Detective: Night Country, an anthology crime drama with a supernatural twist.
Not only are the cases compelling, but we also find ourselves rooting for the people trying to solve them. Next up in this intriguing genre is Tracker, an action-drama that revolves around Colter Shaw, a loner and survivalist with uncanny tracking skills. Shaw’s dark past and unique lifestyle are sure to keep viewers hooked from the very first episode, but until then, we’ve compiled this handy guide with everything we know about the show. Get comfortable, settle in, and prepare to learn everything about your latest obsession.
Does ‘Tracker’ Have a Release Date?
Tracker will premiere in the United States on February 11, 2024. For football fans, don’t worry, you’ll have plenty of time to watch the Super Bowl and Tracker, as the show airs after the biggest sporting event of the year on CBS.
Tracker follows a weekly release schedule and consists of a total of thirteen episodes, all of which will air simultaneously on CTV in Canada.
What is the plot of ‘Tracker’?
Tracker follows Colter Shaw, a charming detective and survivor of a troubled childhood, who travels across the United States in his trusty RV in search of the next case to crack. Shaw is equipped with excellent tracking skills and helps ordinary citizens, as well as the police force, solve puzzling crimes and mysteries. However, his great skills come at a price. Shaw’s unofficial job title is “reward seeker” because if he is successful in his detective work, he will not hesitate to accept a substantial cash reward for solving the case. After years on the road and a great track record, Shaw’s next case could change everything.
