Colter Shaw has more missing persons cases ahead of him, as Tracker has been renewed for a fourth season at CBS.
The network announced the renewal Thursday along with a slew of others, which was to be expected given that the procedural is the No. 1 show on broadcast television.
Tracker‘s Season 3 premiere managed 17M viewers after 35 days of multi-platform viewing, according to Nielsen, effectively on par with Season 2’s 17.34M audience average. While it typically adds a few million viewers in long-tail viewing, most of that is racked up in the first week, suggesting a loyal weekly audience base that is an impressive feat for any show, but particularly a network offering these days.

Based on the bestselling novel The Never Game by Jeffery Deaver, Tracker stars Justin Hartley as Colter Shaw, “a lone-wolf survivalist 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,” per the official logline.
In Season 3, which returns on March 1, Colter is wrestling with hard truths about his family’s history. In the wake of these shocking revelations, and aided by his trusted team, Colter must put the past in the rearview to focus on what he does best: using his instincts and survival skills to find the missing and collect rewards.
