Justin Hartley’s BC-filmed Tracker series debuted to an average of 18.4 million viewers on CBS following Super Bowl LVII. That number should increase when streaming viewership is added in.
The Super Bowl itself ranks as the most-watched U.S. telecast in history with an average of 123.4 million Americans across several platforms, thanks to the Kansas City Chiefs’s third championship win in five years and to a Taylor Swift bump of new viewers. — who tuned in to see the music phenom cheer on her boyfriend Travis Kelce, the Chiefs’s tight end.
Adapted from the Jeffrey Dean thriller The Never Game, Tracker follows Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley), a lone-wolf survivalist who roams the country as a reward seeker, using his expert tracking skills to help private citizens and law enforcement solve all manner of mysteries while contending with his own fractured family.
The series premiere introduced us to Justin Hartley’s Colter Shaw, a nomadic, good-with-his-fists loner who travels America solving ordinary people’s problems. Colter acquired his Tracker skills growing up with a survivalist father.
And he gets paid enough to own a GMC truck and an Airstream trailer.
