In some excellent news, Tracker season 3 is happening. It wasn’t a surprise when CBS renewed the series back in February 2025, and it wasn’t all that surprising to find out that it would be part of the fall 2025 schedule.
This is one of CBS’s top-rated shows, so of course it’s going to air in the fall. The question now for many is when it will come back. We’re into the summer hiatus now, so how long do we really need to wait?
CBS hasn’t set the date for Tracker season 3 to premiere
As of right now, we don’t exactly have a date for the show to return. That’s not all that unusual for CBS. The broadcast networks release their fall schedules in May, but we usually need to wait until June or July for some of the premiere dates to be set.
CBS can premiere shows in September or October, with Tracker season 2 getting an early October release date. We’re expecting something similar for the third season, so we’re looking at sometime around early October 2025 for the premiere date.
Yes, Tracker will return on Sundays
Don’t worry about switching nights for your favorite show. CBS knows when it has a good thing, and it’s keeping Tracker on Sundays. It will continue to air at 8 p.m. ET/PT, although keep in mind in the fall that episodes can be pre-empted a little. They could be pushed to around 8:30 pm. ET/PT and sometimes a little later.
This is until the end of football season, when the show will return at the consistent time of 8 p.m. ET/PT. CBS has made it clear that this series will remain on Sunday nights throughout the season, initially acting as the lead-in for a new singing competition called The Road. In the midseason, it will be the lead-in for the new Yellowstone spinoff and the second season of Watson.
What to expect in Tracker season 3
The Tracker season 2 finale finally brought a few Shaw family answers, including who killed Colter’s dad all those years ago. It turns out that Ashton Shaw’s death was linked to Colter’s mom, Mary. Of course, this episode has left us with far more questions, and that’s what we need to see resolved throughout Tracker season 3.
It’s a mystery that keeps on giving, but it won’t be the only focus of the third season. We’ll get to see individual cases for Colter to solve, and hopefully, we’ll get more development for the supporting characters, especially the long forgotten Velma.
Tracker is available to stream on Paramount+.
