It’d be good to clear the air, you know? We did. – Russell Shaw (Jensen Ackles)
Look at us now — Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley) as the brothers clink beer bottles.
Tracker previews Justin Hartley and Jensen Ackles’s next big investigation as the Shaw brothers in the two-part season 3 finale.
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 family mystery.
Season 3 finale – Part 1 – Chrono Stasis.
Colter (Justin Hartley) and Russell (Jensen Ackles) unite in a personal mission to uncover their father’s mysterious work
In an EW preview, Russell tells his brother that he knows the location of Dr. Serena Jukic (Jeri Ryan), a researcher who worked with their father at the Chrono Stasis Institute in Alaska.
The Institute is where their late father tested children in government experiments.
The details line up, she changed her name, went offline, probably for good reason. She was working for Dad on that chrono stasis project in Alaska. I did get some intel on what they were trying to do, but most of it was redacted. — Russell.
Season 3 finale – Part 2 – The Best Ones.
Colter (Justin Hartley) and Russell (Jensen Ackles) search for a victim of a nefarious research project.
Jensen Ackles flew into Vancouver last month after The Boys press tour in Europe to shoot the 2-Part finale.
A lot has happened in the Shaw family — Mom (Wendy Crewson), brother Russell (Jensen Ackles), Colter (Justin Hartley) and sister Dory (Melissa Roxburgh) — in three seasons.
When we met Colter in season one of Tracker, he believed that Russell had caused their father Ashton Shaw’s death 20 years before but in the second-to-last episode of that season, Russell convinced him someone else was responsible.
In season 2 episode 2, Russell came to Colter’s rescue on an X-Files-style case and the Shaw brothers found out a bit more about their father’s work as a government contractor and possible involvement in a conspiracy.
Then, at the end of season 2, Colter was stunned to learn his mother Mary (Wendy Crewson) may have been involved in his father’s death, after Colter found and confronted the man Otto (Alex Fernandez), who actually pushed his father off the cliff.
Colter and Russell reunited in the two-part season 3 premiere on another X-Files-style case, investigating a system called The Process — in which people were blackmailed into doing terrible things, modelled by grad students after their professor’s experiments.
The Process took the brothers into a very dark place, similar to the world that their Dad inhabited at Berkley when something caused him to step away and take his family off the grid to somewhere near the Sierra National Forest.
These [government] experiments, possible mental, physical, psychological experiments that bear some really bad fruit. Some of that may also play into some of the larger secrets about Colter’s family — not this particular thing that’s in the season opener, but it’s opening up that world. ,. . . some of the answers with what happened with [Colter’s] family lie in that world. — showrunner Elwood Reid to TV Insider.
Tracker’s 2-part season 3 finale airs Sunday, May 17th and Sunday, May 24th.
Tracker is moving production from Vancouver to Los Angeles for season 4.
