CBS’s show Tracker starring Justin Hartley is simple. Hartley plays Colter Shaw, a survivalist with a specialty in, you guessed it, tracking. The show was a hit for CBS when it first premiered earlier this year, and averaged about 11.5 million viewers per episode. In total, it has reached 81 million viewers since its debut, according to Nielsen. 

Now, the second season of Tracker is set to premiere this fall. Season 2 of Tracker will premiere on Sunday, October 27 at 8:30 PM ET/PT on CBS and will also stream live and on demand for Paramount+ subscribers with SHOWTIME. Paramount+ Essential subscribers will be able to watch the show on demand the day after the episode airs. Tracker season 2 will then move to its regular timeslot of 8:00/9:00 PM ET/PT on Sunday, November 3. 

Tracker had its series premiere directly after the Super Bowl on CBS, which undoubtedly helped foster its viewership as the show kicked off. The choice to air the series directly after the Super Bowl clearly worked in the show’s favor, and only time will tell if season 2 of the CBS show will pull in viewership numbers like season 1.

Tracker season 2 premieres on Sunday, October 27 at 8:30 PM ET/PT on CBS and Paramount+ with SHOWTIME before moving to its regular time slot of 8:00/9:00 ET/PT on Sunday, November 3.
