As Tracker gears up for Season 3, leading man Justin Hartley is giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at the intense process of bringing CBS’s breakout drama to life. Known for its high-energy chases and emotionally charged plots, the series requires a level of physical and mental commitment that Hartley says is both exhausting and rewarding.
In a recent interview, Hartley described the filming schedule as “relentless but thrilling,” with long days on location and demanding stunt work. “It’s the kind of job where you go home completely drained, but you also can’t wait to get back the next morning,” he shared. “Colter’s world is full of danger and moral choices, and I want to make sure the audience feels every heartbeat of that.” His dedication shows in the seamless way he moves from action sequences to heartfelt dialogue, creating a character who is as compelling in quiet moments as he is during daring rescues.
Season 3 has been particularly challenging because of the new environments the crew is exploring. From rugged mountain landscapes to bustling city streets, the production has embraced diverse settings that add visual excitement and narrative complexity. Hartley revealed that several scenes required difficult climbs, unpredictable weather, and on-the-spot improvisation to capture the raw realism the show is known for.
Despite the physical toll, Hartley remains passionate about the series’ emotional depth. He spoke about the importance of exploring Colter’s internal conflicts—his sense of justice, his fractured family history, and the loneliness that comes with a life on the move. “The action is great, but it’s the quiet moments that stay with you,” he explained. “We’re diving even deeper into what drives Colter and what scares him.”
Fans can also expect more interplay between Colter and the supporting characters who have become fan favorites. While details about specific storylines remain under wraps, Hartley teased that relationships will evolve in ways that surprise even the most dedicated viewers. “There are connections forming that we haven’t really explored before,” he hinted, sparking speculation about possible alliances or conflicts.
With filming now wrapped and post-production underway, CBS is building anticipation for a season that promises heart-pounding action and powerful storytelling. Hartley’s enthusiasm is contagious, and his commitment to authenticity suggests that Season 3 of Tracker will not only meet but exceed fan expectations. Whether you’ve been following Colter’s adventures from the start or are just discovering the series, the upcoming episodes are set to deliver a ride that is as emotional as it is exhilarating.
