‘Tracker’ Star Justin Hartley Breaks Down Premiere Episode & Teases CBS Series Will Be “A Slow Burn” With A Worthy Payoff

deadline.com:

SPOILER ALERT! This post contains details from the series premiere of Tracker. Justin Hartley is making his return to network TV with another post-Super Bowl premiere.

After Super Bowl LVIII, viewers will be introduced to Colter Shaw in CBS‘ Tracker. Colter is 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.

Based on the book The Never Game by Jeffery Deaver, Hartley teased to Deadline that the series will largely depart from the source material but maintain the “sensibilities” of the character.

Beyond that, the series will operate as a procedural, with Colter taking on new missing persons cases each week as he also struggles with the trauma of his past…which is now coming back to haunt him.
