What if Bear Grylls was Jack Reacher? That’s sort of the gist of this new action drama series.

Tracker: Season 2
What is Tracker season 2 about?
Based on the 2019 novel The Never Game by prolific crime writer Jeffrey Deaver (The Bone Collector), Tracker introduces us to Colter Shaw, expert survivalist and freelance problem solver/bounty hunter, who tools around the United States in a sweet airstream trailer finding folks that less rugged and photogenic investigators cannot. Sometimes that means a rescue operation in search of a missing hiker, and sometimes that’s running down a fugitive from justice. Burdened with the requisite traumatic and troubled backstory (his late dad was a paranoid prepper), our hero embarks on an episodic but deeply satisfying series of adventures in this action-packed procedural.
The cast of Tracker season 2
Justin Hartley (This is Us) is Colter Shaw; Abby McEnany is his handler, Velma Bruin, who sends work his way; Eric Graise is Bobby Exley, our man’s tech expert/hacker/guy in the chair; and Fiona Rene is Reenie Greene, his overworked lawyer. Lee Tergesen and Jensen Ackles return as Colter’s father and brother, respectively, while hartley’s real life wife, Floriana Lima, plays friendly rival and possible love interest Camille Pickett. Sadly, Robin Weigert (she’ll always be Deadwood‘s Calamity Jane to us), who played Velma’s wife, Teddi, Cotler’s other handler, noped out after the first season, which is a bit of a bummer.

Why we’re excited about Tracker season 2
Well, it was an absolute smash on US network CBS, perhaps owing to the fact that it premiered immediately after the Super Bowl. Reviews have been solid but not spectacular, but here’s the thing: we’re a bit tired of the sort of lumbering, portentous, prestige series that thinks it’s a novel instead of a TV show, and this flavour of meat ‘n’ potatoes action thriller might be just the corrective we need. Sometimes you want a burger, not a steak.
