Justin Hartley’s new drama series Tucker has one of the most coveted TV spots of the year, and fans are excited.
The 47-year-old is the leading man in CBS’ new show Tracker, and it will air its first-ever episode immediately after the Super Bowl on Sunday, meaning tens of millions of viewers could be tuning in to the hotly-anticipated show. Justin, best known for playing Kevin Pearson on the NBC series This Is Us, is keeping his shirt on and will be embracing the gritty action-packed storylines as survivalist Colter Shaw.
Tracker is based on the best-selling 2019 novel The Never Game by Jeffery Deaver, and follows lone wolf Colter as he travels around the US using his expert tracking skills to help individuals, as well as law enforcement, to solve mysteries. While gaining a reward for himself once the job is complete, he also has to contend with a fractured family life, meaning he finds solace in working alone. The show also features Big Little Lies star Robin Weigert, Abby McEnany, Eric Graise, and Fiona Rene, and Justin serves as executive producer on the show, after bringing it to life alongside Ken Olin.
The first full-length trailer for the series was released earlier this month, and fans are keen to see the show finally air, after it was originally due to be released last year but was delayed by the Hollywood strikes. Tracker only began shooting in November, and was fast-tracked to a series premiere in the post-Super Bowl slot. Justin revealed he had been desperate to bring Tracker to the small screen since the book was released in 2019, and told USA Today it had been a dream for “years” to finally debut his passion project.
