Welcome back to Vancouver.
Jensen Ackles is taking time out from his busy schedule prepping The Boys prequel series Vought Rising to reunite with Justin Hartley on Tracker for his third episode as Colter Shaw’s older brother Russell.
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.
I’ve spent most of my life trying to figure out what happened that night my father went over the cliff — Colter Shaw.
A lot has happened in the Shaw family — Mom (Wendy Crewson), brother Russell (Jensen Ackles), Colter (Justin Hartley) and sister Dory (Melissa Roxburgh) — in two 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.
Season 3 is expected to pick up right after Otto’s confession to Colter. Otto said Mary asked him to be up there but he did not say that Mary ordered her husband’s murder.
The Shaw brothers have a lot to talk about … with their mother?
