A New Chapter for „Tracker”: Josh Holloway Enters the Series Universe
Since early October, the fourth season of „Tracker” has been broadcasting on CBS. New episodes air every Sunday night on the network before streaming on Paramount Plus the following day. Since the day after its Season 4 premiere, the production has consistently remained in the top 10 ratings, with no dip in its dominant position.

Only time will reveal what other plot twists await this character in the rest of the season. Critics and audiences agree that „Tracker” improves with each season. Though a fifth season is not yet officially announced, it would be a surprise if the network did not give it a chance to continue.
What likely secures the series’ future for at least one or two more seasons is the fact that production has fully moved from Ontario to Los Angeles starting with Season 4. It is unlikely CBS would make this logistical change if it did not have broader plans for the title, which is one of the most-watched TV series of the 2020s.
While Jensen Ackles had been the biggest guest star across the four seasons, the news broke at lunchtime today: Josh Holloway will officially debut in „Tracker” in Season 4, Episode 7, airing on November 22. He will play Luke Kelsol, described as a bounty hunter similar to Colter, but whose moral compass is always pointed toward himself, not others.
