"Tracker" season 3 finds survivalist and freelance tracker for hire Colter Shaw (played by Justin Hartley) with a problem of his own to solve as his father's murder - referenced since the show first aired in early 2024 - assumes centre stage with the revelation at the end of season two that his own mother, Mary Dove (Wendy Crewson), might not just know more than she is letting on but might actually be involved...

The relentless "rewardist" had previously believed his estranged older brother Russell (Jensen Ackles) to be responsible so when he turns up in season 3 there is an extra element of tension to add to the dysfunctional family dynamic - it's no wonder Shaw seems to have spent most of his adult life on his own and/or living in forests.
Will the brothers team up or fall out with the new information about their mother in play? There's a small hint in the first episode when the day job requires the two of them to work together help find the missing wife and daughter of one of Reenie's (Fiona Rene) clients. The death of their father, however, hangs over everything.
