Trackerseason 3 gets a major update, revealing when new episodes will premiere. As the top-rated drama on broadcast television,Trackerseason 2 ended on a major cliffhanger. Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley) had long believed that finding out the truth about what happened to his father would set him free, though it ultimately raises more painful questions.

Tracker’s season 2 ending explainedthat it was Colter’s mother who wanted her husband, Ashton Shaw (Lee Tergesen), to be murdered. Assuming the hired hitman is being truthful, it sets up a whole different dynamic for Colter when new episodes start rolling out very soon.

What Tracker Season 3 Means For The Show

Big Changes To The Story Are Ahead

It’s not only thatMary Dove Shaw (Wendy Crewson) arranged for Ashton to be murdered. She also tried to divide Colter and Russell (Jensen Ackles), suggesting that the Shaw brothers were better off staying away from each other. This raises two questions at the very least. The first is why she wanted her husband dead.

The second is the question of why she wanted to keep her family apart. It’s a weighty environment fortheTrackercast, which includes Abby McEnany, Eric Graise, and Fiona Rene, to wade back into. They all have their own stories, which have been steadily building. Reenie (played by Rene) formed a friendship and partnership with Velma (McEnany).

Bobby has become something of aTrackerfan-favorite, who may well get a bigger spotlight in the upcoming episodes. The show will also need to continue to balance its procedural, case-of-the-week stories with longer arcs. That could mean that Colter has to compartmentalize whatever it is that’s going on with his family in an effort to move forward.

It’s A Delicate Balance

Colter may be facing his biggest emotional challenge yet. But that’s true ofTrackerseason 3as well. The hit drama, executive produced by Ken Olin, Ben H.
