Disney+ UK has picked up and set an April UK premiere date for smash hit US drama ‘Tracker‘, starring Justin Hartley.
The series stars Justin Hartley (This Is Us, Smallville) as Colter Shaw, a lone-wolf survivalist who roams the country as a reward seeker, using his expert tracking skills to help private citizens and law enforcement solve all manner of mysteries while contending with his own fractured family. The series is based on the bestselling novel The Never Game by Jeffery Deaver.
Alongside Hartley, the show also stars Robin Weigert (Big Little Lies, Sons of Anarchy), Abby McEnany (Work in Progress), Eric Graise (Locke & Key, Queer as Folk), and Fiona Rene (The Lincoln Lawyer, I Know What You Did Last Summer).
The drama has been going down a storm on CBS in the USA. It is the #1 show on television according to Nielsen’s Most Current Data. The series premiere, which debuted following the Super Bowl in February, has now been seen by 30 million multiplatform viewers and was Paramount+’s #1 show in February in the USA. It has been averaging 16 million multiplatform viewers and is the most-watched new series since the launch of ‘Young Sheldon’ in 2017/18, and the most-watched new drama since ‘Empire’ in 2014/15. It should then come as no shock that CBS has renewed it for a 2nd Season.
‘Tracker’ is developed for TV by writer/author Ben Winters, based on the bestselling novel The Never Game by Jeffery Deaver. Winters, Hartley, Elwood Reid, and author Jeffrey Deaver serve as executive producers. Ken Olin (This Is Us, Sleepy Hollow, Alias) serves as director and exec producer. The show is produced by Disney’s 20th Television (hence the reason it’s on Disney+ in the UK.)
‘Tracker‘ Season 1 premieres Wednesday, 3rd April on Disney+ UK.
