Sunday nights just don’t feel the same without new episodes of Tracker on CBS. So ever since the Season 2 finale aired on May 11, the Sunday Scaries have been just a little worse.
Written by Elwood Reid and directed by Ken Olin, Tracker Season, Episode 20 saw Colter (Justin Hartley) return home to Echo Ridge, where he visited his mom, Mary Dove Shaw (Wendy Crewson), and wound up getting some unexpected insight into the devastating death of his dad, Ashton Shaw (Lee Tergesen).
The episode ended on a major cliffhanger and left viewers craving more Colter adventures and Shaw family answers. So when will the hit CBS series return with new episodes?
Wondering is Tracker on tonight, June 15? How many episodes are in Tracker Season 2? Has CBS renewed Tracker for a Season 3 yet? And when is Tracker‘s return date?
Here’s what to know about the future of the CBS series, including Tracker Season 3 premiere date info, how to watch Tracker live on CBS, and more.
Since Tracker’s Season 2 finale, CBS has been re-airing episodes on Sunday nights. But there’s no new episode or re-run premiering on Sunday, June 15. Instead, CBS will be airing A Grammy Salute to the Beach Boys in Tracker’s typical 9:00 p.m. ET. slot.
Per CBS, “The two-hour tribute special features a star-studded lineup of performers who will perform Beach Boys classics. Featured artists and special guests include John Legend, Brandi Carlile, Beck, Tom Hanks, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, and the Beach Boys themselves.” The re-air comes in wake of Brian Wilson’s recent death, but Tracker re-runs will be back soon…
You bet! On February 20, 2025, CBS renewed the popular survivalist drama for Season 3, which means Tracker is set to return with new episodes in the future. Back in February, CBS reported that Tracker hit over 18 million multiplatform viewers, a four percent increase from the previous year. And on May 7, 2025, CBS claimed another big win when Tracker took the top spot in the network’s 2024-2025 season, averaging 17.5 million broadcast and streaming viewers per episode, according to a 35-day Nielsen streaming report. It’s clear why CBS was eager to renew the hit series! So when will Tracker return?
As of Sunday, June 15, an official Tracker Season 3 premiere date had yet to be announced, but CBS confirmed the series will return during the 2026-2027 broadcast season. For a better idea of when Tracker could return, let’s look at its prior release schedule.
Season 1 aired from February to May 2024, but was only 13 episodes. And Tracker‘s 20-episode Season 2 aired from October 2024 to May 2025. Considering the sophomore season’s success, CBS may want to opt for another fall premiere date. But while we wait for more updates, here’s what we can expect from the upcoming season.

If you’re looking to rewatch Tracker Season 1 or catch up on Season 2 episodes, you may be wondering if the series is streaming on Paramount+. The answer is yes! All Season 1 and Season 2 episodes are currently streaming on Paramount+. When the series returns, new episodes will also be available to stream live on Paramount+ with Showtime and next day for Paramount+ Essential subscribers.
If you’re hoping to stream Tracker Season 2 on Hulu, you’re currently out of luck.
