Jensen Ackles has been confirmed to return as Russell Shaw in Season 4 of the CBS drama Tracker, with the actor sharing the first behind-the-scenes images from the new season on social media. His involvement had been uncertain for much of the summer until co-star and lead Justin Hartley confirmed a few weeks ago that Ackles would be back, easing fan concerns after the actor's recent run of high-profile but short-lived projects elsewhere.

Ackles has appeared periodically but memorably across Tracker's first three seasons, and Season 4 is set to premiere on CBS on 4 October. The update follows a busy period for Ackles, whose Prime Video series Countdown was cancelled after one season and who recently finished his run as Soldier Boy in The Boys, though he is due to reprise that role in the upcoming spin-off Vought Rising. Sharing the new photos, Ackles captioned them by saying it felt good to be back on set after a long summer break.
