Tracker Season 3 finally arrived on CBS, reuniting fans with Colter Shaw, who operates as a reward tracker, helping private citizens and sometimes law enforcement solve mysteries. Unlike typical investigators, Colter travels to different places in search of work and doesn't stop until he finds the lost ones or the truth about what happened to them.
The show is based on Jeffery Deaver’s novel series, in which Colter Shaw appears as a loner who's troubled by his past. Working as a tracker helps him focus on the present and avoid dwelling on the past.
However, in Season 2 he finally discovers the truth about his father's disappearance. He then takes a case about a woman named Gina Pickett who happened to be the sister of Colter's old flame. This way, the mysteries often connect to Colter on a personal level.
In the latest Tracker Season 3, Colter knows everything about his father, and now he's facing a new danger. The first episode, titled "The Process," features Colter preparing for a new battle while also carrying heavy truths about his family.
The drama will continue in the next episode, and you can explore the release schedule below.

What happened in Tracker Season 3 episode 1: A quick recap
The premiere of Tracker Season 3 begins after three weeks of Colter discovering that his father was killed by a friend, Otto. He pushed him off a cliff, and what's even more heartbreaking is that Colter's mother was the one who asked Otto to push her husband and end his life.
This painful truth has resulted in Colter feeling guilty of failing to protect his father. He's seen hiding out in a Wyoming bar, and then meets Russell, who was sent by Reenie to find out where Shaw went. The reunion of the brothers felt awkward at first, but they soon joined forces to solve a new case.
Reenie asks Colter and Russell to work on a father's case, whose ex-wife and daughter have vanished. As the episode continues, Colter learns that the woman, Lisa, was blackmailed to commit a crime as his daughter was kidnapped.
By the end of the episode, it's revealed that a sinister group called "The Process" is behind forcing innocent people to commit crimes. The group is led by a man named Raymond Ackman, and after Colter was able to rescue the girl, he and Russell received a message that they had interrupted the process, and now there will be a price to pay.
