When Tracker season 1 premiered after the Super Bowl in February 2024, it quickly became one of CBS' most popular new series since Young Sheldon debuted in 2017. Not surprisingly, the network quickly granted Justin Hartley's new series a second season early into its 13-episode run, and now we're looking ahead to Tracker season 2.

Tracker follows a survivalist who specializes in assisting law enforcement in finding missing persons and collecting the reward money in return.

"Tracker kicked off our premiere week with a ratings bang and has kept the momentum going," Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment, said in a statement. "We knew we had something special when we saw the very first cut of the series and the overwhelming audience response confirms it. We couldn’t be more grateful to Justin, the talented cast, the incredible writing and producing teams and our partners at 20th Television for such compelling episodes. And, of course, we’re also so thankful to the millions of viewers tuning in each week."

Here's everything we know about Tracker season 2.
