"Tracker" lead Justin Hartley hints at a thrilling end to season 2: "We drop a bombshell"

As we approach the grand conclusion of season 2 of the acclaimed CBS series, the show’s main actor is urging the audience to brace themselves for an extraordinary climax that promises to be both surprising and gratifying this Sunday.

"A bombshell drops," hinted Hartley, who portrays the central character Colter Shaw, in a conversation with "CBS Mornings." Shaw, depicted as a solitary figure, leverages his wilderness acumen to track down missing individuals.

Sneak Peek into the Season Finale

Throughout the episodes, viewers have gradually explored the intricate dynamics of Shaw’s family as they try to solve the puzzle of his father’s demise.

"We've nudged the audience with hints… What exactly happened to my dad? Was his death suspicious?" Hartley elaborated, noting that subtle clues have been scattered through the episodes. "We initiated the series with this mystery, and by the end of Season 2, we've methodically unraveled it."

In the upcoming finale, Hartley mentioned a pivotal disclosure awaits.

"It unfolds a narrative that is intriguing. It opens a Pandora's box but also clarifies a narrative, making it very fulfilling," he remarked.

Apart from starring, Hartley is also an executive producer and prefers Shaw to be a "hero" minus the "superhero" tag.

"One aspect that resonates with the audience is his vulnerability; he can get hurt," Hartley explained to Nate Burleson, co-host of "CBS Mornings." "Adding superpowers takes away some of that realism."

Hartley aims to keep Shaw relatable. The finale will prominently feature Shaw at his most vulnerable.

"You'll witness him unraveling in a way that's unforeseen. He's hopelessly in over his head, absorbs startling news, and finds himself slightly discomposed," Hartley revealed.

A Season of Triumphs

"Tracker" has soared to unprecedented heights, claiming the top spot on television charts, bringing in impressive viewership.

"It's incredibly humbling and an honor," Hartley expressed regarding the show’s unprecedented success. He extended gratitude to the fans for their dedicated viewership, saying it is heartwarming to know that families gather together to watch it unfold live.
