American actor Jensen Ackles is best known to audiences for his role as Dean Winchester in Supernatural. The character not only brought him worldwide fame but also earned him a devoted fan base — one that continues to grow despite the show having ended.
But Ackles has been actively expanding his career beyond the world of demons and ghosts. He made a strong impression as Soldier Boy in The Boys and its spinoff Gen V. Now, he’s back on TV with a significant role in the action-packed drama Tracker.
What is Tracker About?
The series follows Colter Shaw, a skilled tracker who roams across America, using his expertise to assist law enforcement and private clients in solving crimes and locating missing people.

But Shaw’s work isn’t just about others — he also faces his own personal struggles. Fortunately, he’s not alone. He operates with the support of a trusted team, including a tech genius and a lawyer, who help him navigate the complex cases he takes on.
Jensen Ackles Joins Tracker Season 2
In the second season, Jensen Ackles joins the cast as the main character’s brother, who turns to Colter for help in tracking down an old army friend.
As the investigation unfolds, the brothers become entangled in a high-stakes conspiracy, leading them through intense military missions and dangerous covert operations. Along the way, they are forced to confront the buried secrets of their family’s past.

The first half of Season 2 premiered last fall, and this week, Tracker returned with its second wave of episodes. So far, it’s clear that Ackles’ character will continue to play a major role in the unfolding story.
As for a potential third season, no official announcements have been made yet — but fans are already eager to see what’s next.
