'Tracker' Season 3: How to Watch the First Episode Without Cable

Trying to track down new episodes of a particular CBS action drama? You've come to the right place.

Justin Hartley's survivalist protagonist Colter Shaw will return this month in season 3 of the popular show Tracker. Colter will continue to follow the trail of missing people and collect rewards, but season 3 will also address Colter learning something shocking about his family's history in the season 2 finale. The first two episodes will guest star Jensen Ackles, who plays Colter's brother, Russell, on the show.

Season 3 of Tracker will notably be absent of original cast members Eric Graise and Abby McEnany -- who played Bobby Exley and Velma Bruin. Paramount Plus subscribers will be able to watch the series, but should adjust their streaming plan based on their subscription tier. Here's what you need to know.
