Jensen Ackles' Tracker Return Confirmed: Justin Hartley Offers First Season 4 Details

Jensen Ackles will be returning to CBS's Tracker for Season 4, according to Justin Hartley, who played Colter on the show. Filming for Ackles' first episode is set to begin soon after the cameras started rolling on his Season 3 finale. The Season 3 finale concluded with Colter and his brother Russell learning the fate of their father, Ashton, who was involved in a secretive government program experimenting on gifted children.

After rescuing two test subjects, Colter and Russell set out to take down the operation, with Russell discovering a file containing troubling information about Ashton's actions towards Colter when he was younger. Before disappearing, Russell called Reenie and asked her to keep Colter out of the loop, promising to explain his whereabouts and intentions once he left.

At a Televerse panel in Los Angeles, Hartley confirmed Ackles' return, revealing that Russell had made a deal with someone in exchange for protecting Colter. The show's Season 4 premiere will air on October 4th at 9:30 p.m. on CBS, streaming the following day on Paramount+.
