Tracker Soundtrack Season 4 (2026) Guide
In Season 4 of Tracker, lone-wolf survivalist and reward seeker Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley) shifts his operations to a brand-new backdrop in Los Angeles. While continuing his high-stakes formula of solving complex missing-persons cases and collecting rewards, Colter must navigate the dangerous aftermath of the Season 3 finale. Despite seemingly finding closure regarding his father's tragic fate, new corporate conspiracies and a shady deal made by his brother Russell (Jensen Ackles) force Colter to uncover deeper, dark secrets surrounding his family’s cryptic past. Backed remotely by his trusted team, including Reenie (Fiona Rene) and Randy (Chris Lee), Colter faces a gripping new chapter where every clue leads him into dangerous criminal operations and unresolved emotional battles.
CBS's action drama Tracker returns for Season 4, following lone-wolf reward seeker and survivalist Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley) as he relocates his base of operations to the gritty sprawl of Los Angeles. Premiering with the high-stakes episode 'Safe Harbor', the new chapter sees Colter investigating a missing dockworker's father amidst perilous waterfront conspiracies at the Port of Los Angeles. Following the emotional revelations of the Season 3 finale regarding his father's mysterious demise, Colter must navigate dangerous new fallout from secret deals orchestrated by his estranged brother Russell (fan-favorite guest star Jensen Ackles). Supported remotely by fierce attorney Reenie Greene (Fiona Rene) and tech specialist Randy (Chris Lee), Season 4 pairs pulse-pounding missing-person investigations with dark family secrets and a rugged, road-tested soundtrack.
The musical identity of Tracker is deeply tied to Colter Shaw’s nomadic lifestyle, defined by authentic Americana, heartland rock, roots country, and introspective indie folk. While Season 4 kicks off its weekly releases, the series has cultivated an acclaimed soundtrack legacy across previous seasons curated by music supervisor Robin Urdang. Season 2 delivered unforgettable needle drops, from the driving soul of Steely Dan's 'Deacon Blues' and Chris Stapleton's 'Starting Over' to the haunting grit of Johnny Cash's 'Wayfaring Stranger', The Cranberries' 'Time Is Ticking Out', and Zach Bryan's viral hit 'Oklahoma Smokeshow'. That momentum surged through Season 3, which featured Zach Bryan once again with 'Traveling Man', classic rock anthems like Bob Seger's 'Old Time Rock & Roll' and Blue Öyster Cult's '(Don't Fear) The Reaper', alongside melancholic indie masterworks like Gregory Alan Isakov's 'San Luis', The National's 'This Isn't Helping', and Son Volt's evocative season-ending ballad 'Windfall'.
