Justin Hartley’s ‘Tracker’ Is Relocating for Season 4 After Cast Exits: Surprise Change Explained
The move follows a $48 million state tax credit and is expected to create jobs for 250 crew members, officials said.
- On Monday, the hit CBS series Tracker, starring Justin Hartley, announced it will relocate production to Los Angeles for season 4, securing a record $48 million tax credit from the California Film Commission.
- 20th Television is currently securing local production facilities, with the incentive based on $129 million in qualified spending designed to boost employment for California crews and businesses impacted by reduced production activity.
- Showrunner Elwood Reid noted the shift provides fresh creative opportunities, allowing the series to explore diverse locales spanning mountains, coastlines and desert—essential elements to the show's survivalist storytelling.
- With 16.4 million viewers, Tracker remains a top broadcast performer; the $48 million incentive eclipses the $42 million awarded to Amazon's Fallout when it relocated to Los Angeles.
- Filming for season 4 is slated to begin in late June, with the drama based on the novel The Never Game by Jeffery Deaver scheduled to return to CBS later this year.
