CBS’ ‘Reacher’ Replacement Is a Streaming Hit on Paramount+
The crime drama *Tracker*, led by Justin Hartley, is drawing attention on Paramount+ as a bingeable alternative for viewers waiting for *Reacher* to return. The two shows share a travelling, capable protagonist who takes on new cases across the United States, but *Tracker* uses a network procedural format, with most episodes telling a standalone story.
In its fourth season, *Tracker* follows survivalist Colter Shaw as he takes paid jobs finding missing people, supported by lawyer Reenie, researcher Bobby and his brother Russell. Russell, played by Jensen Ackles, is due to return this season. The series draws mainly on Jeffery Deaver’s Colter Shaw novels, particularly *The Never Game*, and Season 4 is set to explore failure; the article also notes that *Tracker* is among Paramount+’s Top 10.
In short
- *Tracker* is a streaming hit on Paramount+.
- Its weekly cases offer a different format from *Reacher*.
- Season 4 is set to explore failure.
Explained simply
Tracker is a US crime drama about Colter Shaw, a survivalist who travels the country taking paid jobs to find missing people. He is helped by a small team, including lawyer Reenie and researcher Bobby, and the series is based mainly on novels by Jeffery Deaver.
Unlike many continuing dramas, Tracker usually gives each episode its own case, so viewers can follow individual stories without knowing every earlier plot. Its travelling lead and action-focused investigations may appeal to people who enjoy Reacher, another series about a capable man moving from place to place, though the shows have different formats and characters.
