A fresh update for the second season of *Tracker* sheds light on a confidential matter involving Colter’s father and hints at Russell’s reappearance as the elder sibling. Although this CBS action series centers around Justin Hartley’s character, Colter Shaw, a solitary figure aiding others in locating their lost loved ones for a fee, a broader enigma unravels during the inaugural season: the mystery of who killed Colter’s father, Ashton. This question grows more intricate as season two approaches, given that Ashton’s past might not be as straightforward as it seems.
In an interview with *Entertainment Weekly*, showrunner Elwood Reid offered a glimpse into the season premiere, scheduled for Sunday, October 13, at 8 PM ET on CBS. Reid hinted at a revelation concerning Colter and Russell’s father. This secret links to a memory of Ashton that Russell holds, but Colter does not. Below is Reid’s statement:
“[Russell] enters at a pivotal moment. A secret about their father emerges in the first episode, impacting both brothers. A memory will surface that Colter lacks but his brother possesses, concerning Colter and their father.”
The Enigma Surrounding Ashton’s Demise Persists, Despite the Brothers’ Reconciliation
The Identity of Ashton’s Killer Remains Unclear.
Colter Shaw’s family history is fraught with complexity, dating back to an evening in 2003. With his wife absent, Ashton fled, driven by paranoia—or so Colter recollects. Regardless, Russell pursued Ashton, and Colter discovered their father deceased an hour later. For an extended period, Colter suspected Russell of causing their father’s death, a claim Russell denied. Against this strained backdrop, the brothers mended their relationship when Russell appeared in the penultimate episode of the first season.
The siblings even collaborated on a case, sharing lighthearted moments about Russell’s lackluster flirting skills. It is confirmed that Russell will reappear in the second episode of *Tracker* season two, with the potential for further appearances based on the storyline and actor Jensen Ackles’ availability. With Russell’s return in multiple episodes, the mystery of Ashton’s death becomes crucial, especially following the revelations in the season one finale.

The acclaimed series, adapted from Jeffrey Deaver’s novel *The Never Game* and created by Ben H. Winters, concludes its first season with the bombshell that Ashton engaged in an extramarital affair. This revelation casts suspicion on Colter’s mother regarding his murder. Nevertheless, much more awaits the other characters in *Tracker*. This is particularly true following the sudden and unexplained exit of original cast member Robin Weigert, who portrayed Teddi Bruin.
