Tracker S03: Jensen Ackles Wants to Know Why He Didn't Get a Horse

Shortly after CBS's Tracker Season 3 promo went live, Jensen Ackles had a little fun on social media, wondering why he didn't get a horse.

Earlier today, we passed along a look at an official Season 3 promo for CBS, Showrunner Elwood Reid, and series star/executive producer Justin Hartley's Tracker. To say they squeeze a lot into those 30 seconds would be an understatement – including Jensen Ackles's (Supernatural, The Boys) Russell Shaw offering up a quick round of "Rock, Paper, Scissors" to Colter (Hartley) to see who gets to end the bar fight. But as great as everything looked, Ackles took to the comments section of the show's Instagram post that promoted the promo to ask a question: "Why didn't I get a horse?" As you saw in the promo above (and the image below), Ackles was having a little fun with those scenes of Colter (looking a little worse for wear) on horseback.

Here's a look at Ackles making his case that he should've gotten a horse, too (followed by a look at the Season 3 premiere and what Ackles had to share recently about his return to the hit CBS series):

Jensen Ackles Teases Season 3 Return, Reuniting with Hartley

"I wish I could go play with Justin and Elwood a lot more, but schedules are tight right now, so we were lucky — or I was lucky at least — to have that time available that I could dip back in and do a couple of episodes with them," Ackles shared about being able to squeeze in some time to film the two-episode season opener during an interview in September with Variety. "Justin and I chopped it up pretty good when [Colter] reveals the new knowledge that he has to Russell, and Russell is now having to absorb that. How is that going to affect their relationship? How is that going to affect Russell moving forward? What are we going to see from them?"

"You'll obviously see the camaraderie between the two brothers that I think people enjoy, but now that we have this new information about our family, is that going to bond them further, or is it going to drive more of a wedge between them?" Ackles continued, teasing a scene between Hartley's Colter and Russell that was a break from what Ackles is accustomed to. "I think it's a fun thing to play that Justin and I both really, really enjoyed, and Elwood likes writing for the two of us. We did a scene — it was one scene — and I think it was like eight-and-a-half minutes long, and I was like, 'What are we doing here? I'm not used to this! I'm not used to six-page scenes of just dialogue, just two guys just cutting it up. I was never on 'This Is Us.' That's Justin. I don't do this kind of stuff. Give me a hammer!"

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.
