Tracker: Jensen Ackles & Justin Hartley Reunite in New Season 3 Image

CBS released an official look at Jensen Ackles and Justin Hartley from Tracker Season 3 and released the overview for S03E01: "The Process."

Following up on the news from earlier today, we have the first official image from Jensen Ackles's (Countdown, Supernatural) return as Russell Shaw for the Season 3 premiere of CBS and Showrunner Elwood Reid's hit Justin Hartley-starring Tracker. Set to return on October 19th, fans can look forward to seeing Ackles's Russell and Hartley's Colter teaming up to find answers during both episodes of the two-episode premiere. Here's a look at the official overview released by CBS:

Tracker Season 3 Episode 1: "The Process" – As Colter (Justin Hartley) grapples with the shocking truth surrounding his father's death, Russell (Jensen Ackles) joins forces with his brother to help track down the missing wife and daughter of one of Reenie's clients. Their reunion finds them mixed up in a chain of events involving a sinister underground operation known as "The Process." Written by Elwood Reid and directed by Ken Olin.

"Jensen [Ackles] addicts are gonna get a double dose of him this season. And I ain't gonna make you wait for it. I love writing for Jensen, and I think whenever he and Justin are on the screen, it just works. He's so busy, I have to bargain with him to get him on the show. But I think he's an important part of Colter's story, and he's able to give the audience another perspective on their childhood. Plus, the two of them together are a blast," Reid shared with Collider earlier this summer, making it sound as if fans are getting Ackles for two episodes early on in Season 3. "I'll take all the Ackles I can get," the showrunner added, before adding this little gem at the end: "Spin-off ;)." Here's a look at the production video shared by the CBS series earlier today:

Here's a look back at Ackles's Instagram post, offering a Countdown reminder and confirming he was filming Tracker Season 3:

"I know we'll get to the nitty-gritty of why my mother hired this guy," Hartley shared with Variety earlier this summer during an interview in support of his Prime Video film, Bride Hard, regarding the third season. "Was she protecting her kids? Was an affair happening? Was the government involved? Was it strictly just my mother? Why did she hide that from us for so long? Why did she lead me to believe that it was my brother who was involved when he wasn't? It seems like this divide-and-conquer thing that she's doing. It was just an odd thing to do with your children. There's some deep psychosis there. We'll unpack that."

But if you think getting those answers will lead to a definitive conclusion, think again. Hartley shared how the show's sense of mystery and how things aren't always as they seem is one of the show's aspects that he's a big fan of. "One of the things I love about our show is it seems like every time we answer a question, there are five more questions. It's almost like he's getting deeper and deeper. I really enjoy that about our show," he said.

Based on the bestselling novel The Never Game by Jeffery Deaver, the CBS series spotlights Hartley's Colter, 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. Produced by 20th Television, CBS's Tracker Season 2 starred Hartley (Colter Shaw), Fiona Rene (Reenie), Robin Weigert (Teddi), Abby McEnany (Velma), and Eric Graise (Bobby). Pej Vahdat (The Old Man) has joined the cast in the recurring role of Leonard Sharf. Hartley, Ken Olin, Elwood Reid, and Ben Winters executive-produce, with Deaver producing.
