Justin Hartley as Colter Shaw in a promo image for Tracker
The Big Picture From the moment Tracker first premiered on CBS earlier this year, there were immediate comparisons to the Prime Video series Reacher. Aside from the phonetic connection, both of these shows are based on thriller novels, and each of them follows a "lone wolf" type lead who often rescues people from impossible situations.
Release Date February 11, 2024 Creator Ben H. Winters Cast Justin Hartley , Lee Tergesen , Oscar Chark , Eric Graise , Fiona Rene , Wendy Crewson Seasons 2 'Tracker' Isn't 'Reacher,' and That's Actually a Good Thing The truth is, comparisons aside, Tracker isn't Reacher. Sure, these two shows share a lot of the similarities mentioned above, as well as a small batch of supporting characters that help the leading men on their latest adventures.
'Tracker' Gives Colter Shaw More Room to Develop But what Tracker lacks in action, it makes up for in a long-form arc involving the mystery of Colter Shaw. Jack Reacher himself is something of a mystery, which audiences continue to unravel more of every season, but Colter Shaw isn't a former member of the U.S. Army like Reacher was.
'Reacher' Benefits From Directly Adapting the Novels, While 'Tracker' Is Better as a Procedural Close Additionally, Tracker is designed for more network-based audiences rather than avid streamers. The show isn't meant to be binged the same way, and more than that, it tells self-contained stories that don't need any additional follow-up.
