Justin Hartley can be seen starring in CBS' new breakout drama series, "Tracker." The show, which premiered post-Super Bowl in February 2024, has continued to break records week to week, with over 80 million viewers tuning in to date and counting. "Tracker" was crowned the #1 series on network television at the end of season one, marking the first time a new series has ranked as the #1 show since CBS' "Survivor" premiered in 2000.

Based on the bestselling novel "The Never Game" by Jeffery Deaver, "Tracker" follows lone-wolf survivalist Colter Shaw (Hartley) 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. Also an executive producer on the series, "Tracker" hails from Hartley's production company, ChangeUp Productions, which inked an overall pod deal with 20th Television in 2019. "Tracker" will debut season 2 on CBS on October 13, 2024, and will continue to stream episodes on Paramount+.

Hartley was most recently seen starring in NBC's critically acclaimed, award-winning series "This Is Us" opposite Mandy Moore, Milo Ventimiglia, Sterling K. Brown, and Chrissy Metz.

Additionally, Hartley and his cast members won back-to-back SAG Awards for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series in 2018 and 2019.
