He will soon appear in a film, the TV show of which has also been renewed, and he also plans to take a leap of career that no one had predicted.
The spotlight is on Justin Hartley, and the author takes the time to get to the core of the buzz surrounding him.
Tracker Will Be The Third Time – And Will Get a New Timeslot At That
The return of Tracker for the third season has been officially announced by CBS. The show that averaged more than 10 million viewers per episode suddenly became one of the most viewed dramas on TV. Although this happened some months ago, fans are still excited and did not miss out this success of the show since the network still has it in priority.
The show has been given the 8 pm slot on Sundays for the 2025-26 season of TV. This is like the main broadcast time and is normally used for the top shows. It is evidence of how much faith CBS has in Colter Shaw’s character and the story idea of Tracker.
Justin Hartley is playing the main character in the series, a brave and skillful man – Colter Shaw. During his journey, the character finds many missing persons and resolves their cases by using his special tracking technique. Besides this, he is searching for the truth and never gives up- which the audience is also very fond of.
Heart Wants To Direct The Camera From Behind
It is indeed surprising that the fans have learned that Justin Hartley is aiming to become a director rather than just an actor.
During the latest interview he was attending, he expressed his wish to direct some of the episodes of Tracker upcoming season. Despite the fact he wasn’t able to grab this opportunity in Season 2, Hartley implies that it’s still possible in the forthcoming season as the door has not been shut for him at least if his situation allows it.
He told me that he just directs episodes in which he is not so much in the foreground. In this way, he can fully concentrate on the work. Moreover, the actor shared that he is willing to make sure that his directing will be an addition and not some negative point in the particular sequence of the show.
As the case may be, this might signify a fresh, innovational actor’s career page.
