‘Tracker’ Returns for Season 4 in Fall 2026
Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley) will be helping more people. Tracker is not only returning for Season 4, it’s also one of the first CBS shows back this fall.
But when it does return, it will be with a major change: its location. Tracker Season 4 will be moving from Vancouver to Los Angeles for filming (with a late June start date), Deadline reports.
“I’m proud of what we built in Vancouver. I’m also very excited we’re bringing Tracker to L.A.,” Hartley, who in addition to starring serves as an executive producer, said in a statement to the outlet. “I’m looking forward to continuing to tell these stories alongside the new, fresh places we’ll be heading to next. Most importantly, I want to thank the fans for showing up for us every step of the way. We couldn’t do this without you.”
Added showrunner Elwood Reid, “Location is a huge part of the storytelling on Tracker. We’re so grateful to the crew and people of Vancouver who made the first three seasons of this hit drama possible, and are simultaneously thrilled to be able to kick off the fourth season of Tracker by filming in Los Angeles, thanks to the tax incentive program that supports bringing production back to California.”
Read on for everything we know so far about Tracker Season 4, from the cast to the premiere date, and more.
When does Tracker Season 4 premiere?
Tracker returns for its fourth season on Sunday, October 4. It will air at 9:30/8:30c, but it will return to 9/8c the following week.
Who’s in the Tracker Season 4 cast?
Tracker stars Justin Hartley, Fiona Rene, and Chris Lee. But there is a strong recurring — including Cassady McClincy Zhang — and guest cast on this show, due to its nature and Colter helping people in different places each episode.

Jensen Ackles (Russell), Melissa Roxburgh (Dory), and Brent Sexton (Keaton) are also among the recurring guest stars. We expect them to return in Season 4, but we’ll have to wait to see how that plays out.
What’s Tracker about?
Tracker follows rewardist Colter Shaw as he travels around the country using his skills to find those who are missing (as well as the occasional dog) and collect the rewards. At the same time, he’s dealing with his own personal mystery involving his father’s death and family’s past.
How did Tracker Season 3 end?
In the finale, Russell learned something about Colter and their father that he didn’t want his brother to know and agreed to do more shady work to keep it quiet. We expect that to come up in Season 4.
Tracker Season 4 Premiere, Sunday, October 4, 9:30/8:30c, CBS

Well, the proof will be in the pudding. Or the episodes. Will Colter be running down flights of stairs in hi-rise LA buildings, or looking for people hiding in Griffith Park, or at the LA Coliseum? This show seems to have strayed from what it originally started out to be.

Love this show. I really hope Colter's brother Russell is in many more. The two of them make a very interesting team when they work together. Great dynamics!

I really hope that they find a way to keep doing the wilderness rescues somehow, if it’s all about LA only and is more city scenes it’s definitely gonna distract from the show. But I know Hartley knows what he’s doing.. And I’ll wait to see how it goes.. The first three seasons were amazing. Probably one of my top two shows on television today just because of the way the stories are told. The remote locations the wilderness, it’s a great aesthetic.

I so happy that they're going to have a Season 4 of Tracker!!! I'm a huge fan of the show and the actors that star in it ❤️ Colter Shaw and Rennie are great! Thank you CBS for continuing the show.😀

I wish they had let him do more actual "tracking" in outdoor locations while they were in Vancouver. Now that they will be in LA it will be even more searching in city locations.

I love Justin Hartley, but I do want to see much more of Jensen Ackles. He has an intenseness that grounds the show. It looks like levity but it really isn't. Russell has secrets and I want to see what's going on there and I would like to see more of a bond between the brothers.

Jensen should be a regular! He improves the show 100%!!

I wish they would stop changing the cast members. Keep them the same. Not sure the move to LA will make sense with his current type cases.

Now I have to know what was in that folder! Maybe something about why Colter is such a good tracker.

That's what I will miss most - the green wilderness and wide expanses of remote beauty - such calm versus concrete. I'm sorry for the change; I think politics is influencing this move - Canada vs Paramount+ new owners.

I'm so excited that Jensen Ackles is going to be back!! He is really makes the show fantastic!!

They're filming in LA. Doesn't mean Colter Shaw actually moved there or that the episodes will take place there. I hope.

Not sure I’m going to like that they moved the show to LA and not be filming in Vancouver. LA takes away the shows dynamics. We will see

This is a first class series with excellent contributions from all of the production, directing and acting team. a field operative might comment on the lack of body armour and facing perilous situations with your back to open doors etc However, each member of the acting team are brilliant. Justin Hartley really excels in this role and my wife and I look forward to season 4.

What about his love interest and competion Billie ??? Pleeeese. Say they kept her! She was one of the best assets on the show after colter.

How does he get from colorado to vermont in 6 hours
-

I wonder whether the wildfires up in Canada had anything at all to do with the move, besides the California tax incentives.

The bad guy told Russell that it was something his father had done "to" Colter. Sounds ominous & has to be something pretty bad to get Russ to capitulate. Can't wait to find out.

Whats the plan? Are they actually going to make it believable??
The first two seasons were good, but now it looks like its just turning into another “911” show.
Assuming viewers are stupid and will fall for some of the unreal scenarios, could cause some to stop watching.
Stop being lazy and stick to the plan, please.
