"Tracker", the first new broadcast drama to premiere this season, is also the first freshman scripted series to land a Season 2 renewal. Amid strong ratings following its post-Super Bowl premiere, CBS has picked up a second season of the series starring Justin Hartley after four airings.
Boosted by its premiere behind the Super Bowl, which has drawn 30 million multiplatform viewers, "Tracker", from 20th Television, ranks as the #1 most watched show on television.
Since its high-profile debut, the drama is averaging nearly 16 million multi-platform viewers, improving its Sunday 9 PM time slot by 83% vs. last year, and is the most watched new series since "Young Sheldon" in 2017/18 (16.49m viewers), and the most watched new drama since 2014/15’s "Empire" (17.33m viewers).
“Tracker kicked off our premiere week with a ratings bang and has kept the momentum going,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment.
“We knew we had something special when we saw the very first cut of the series and the overwhelming audience response confirms it. We couldn’t be more grateful to Justin, the talented cast, the incredible writing and producing teams and our partners at 20th Television for such compelling episodes. And, of course, we’re also so thankful to the millions of viewers tuning in each week.”
