The hit CBS series Tracker took a break last Sunday, so the question on fans’ minds is just how long with the latest Justin Hartley hiatus last?
Series are known to take a week off every now and then, but sometimes the hiatus lasts several weeks — and possibly even months! So is Tracker coming back(er) to us soon? Or is the survivalist drama taking an extended leave? Here’s what we know!
The official synopsis for Tracker Season 2, Episode 16, “The Mercy Seat,” is as follows: “Colter helps an old friend with a search and rescue mission for two missing sisters in the snowy Montana wilderness. Meanwhile, Reenie gets a visit from a new client that challenges her morality.”
Written by Elwood Reid & Sharon Lee Watson and directed by David Barrett, Tracker Season 2, Episode 16 will also switch things up a bit by letting Colter out in the cold. As noted in a previous piece, based on “The Mercy Seat” promo photos, we know that Colter will be braving the snow to solve his latest missing persons case, and from the looks of things, he’ll even be riding a snowmobile! We also know that Pej Vahdat will be playing Leonard Sharf, Diego Klattenhoff will be playing Roger McLaren, Ariana Guerra will star as Amelia, and Lexi Simsonsen will star as Shelly.
So when can we watch Colter’s upcoming outdoor adventure? Is Tracker on tonight, April 13? When does Tracker return with new episodes? Where is Tracker streaming? And how can you watch Tracker live and online? Here’s everything to know about Tracker Season 2, Episode 16 — including first-look stills.
Yes! Tracker is on tonight, Sunday, April 13, 2025.
Curious when Tracker will be back(er) with new episodes? Tracker Season 2, Episode 16, “The Mercy Seat” is set to premiere on Sunday, April 13 on CBS. Fear not, the hiatus is over!

Though Tracker Season 1 consisted of 13 episodes, Season 2 will feature 22 episodes. Since 15 episodes have already aired, that means fans still have six new episodes to look forward to before the sophomore season concludes.
If you’re looking to rewatch or catch up on Tracker during Season 2’s hiatus, you may be wondering if the series is streaming on Paramount+. The answer is yes! All 15 episodes of Season 2 are currently streaming on Paramount+. And when the series returns, new episodes will be available to stream live on Paramount+ with Showtime and next day for Paramount+ Essential subscribers.
If you’re hoping to stream Season 2 episodes of Tracker on Hulu, sadly you’re out of luck. Tracker Season 1 was added to Hulu back in 2024, but unfortunately Season 2 episodes won’t be available for next-day streaming on Hulu. The sophomore season will likely be added in the future, but for now, head to Paramount+ or CBS to stream or watch live using one of the other methods listed here
