How did Season 3 end?
WARNING: Spoilers below!
Tracker Season 3’s finale saw the mystery of the Shaw family expand, as Colter and Russell’s investigation connects their father to a government research program involving gifted children, and the finale introduces a new mystery involving Colter himself.
Additionally, Russell learns information that he does not share with his brother, creating a clear unresolved thread for Season 4. Russell makes a consequential decision at the end of the finale, and fans are awaiting the repercussions.
What will Season 4 be about?
Tracker Season 4 is expected to continue the show’s case-of-the-week format, with Colter traveling to help people in difficult situations, while the larger Shaw-family conspiracy becomes an important ongoing thread. The strongest serialized setup coming out of Season 3 is the new mystery involving Colter and the information his brother Russell is withholding.
It also appears that Mel Day will be a potentially more important character. Justin Hartley has specifically indicated her connection to Colter will become a greater part of Season 4’s storyline.
