Thankfully, for those eager to see the Shaw brothers team up, interested in how Jensen Ackles will do in the Russell role, or just excited to see Ackles on TV (ideally not in a way that’s like his disgusting Soldier Boy “Gen V” cameo), there’s only a slight wait to go. As reported by Deadline, CBS shared that Ackles will make his first appearance as Russell in the penultimate episode of “Tracker” Season 1, titled “Off the Books.” The episode will arrive on CBS on May 12. At the time of publication, it’s unknown if fans can expect to see more of Ackles beyond this installment.
Additionally, CBS has provided “Tracker” fans with information regarding the episode’s plot. The synopsis says, “Colter is forced to team up with his estranged brother, Russell, who enlists his help to track down a former army buddy who’s gone missing after several weeks of paranoid behavior. The investigation takes the brothers into the world of Special Forces missions, shady off-the-books programs, and conspiracy theories, all while they contend with their family’s past.” Colter’s complicated relationship with Russell and his family at large has been at the core of the season, so it seems “Off the Books” will be a big, must-see episode in terms of this storyline.
New episodes of “Tracker” air on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET, exclusively on CBS.
