Is ‘Tracker' On Tonight? ‘Tracker' Season 3 Return Date On CBS
Tracker's Season 2 finale, which premiered all the way back on May 11, saw Colter Shaw (Hartley) head home for a job, visit his mom Mary Dove Shaw (Wendy Crewson), and learn some jaw-dropping revelations about the death of his father, Ashton Shaw (Lee Tergesen). For those who need a refresher, Colter's mom was involved in the death! So we need more info ASAP!
'I know we'll get to the nitty-gritty of why my mother hired this guy,' Hartley told Variety in a recent interview teasing Season 3. 'Was she protecting her kids? Was an affair happening? Was the government involved? Was it strictly just my mother? Why did she hide that from us for so long? Why did she lead me to believe that it was my brother who was involved when he wasn't? It seems like this divide-and-conquer thing that she's doing. It was just an odd thing to do with your children. There's some deep psychosis there. We'll unpack that.'
When Tracker does return for Season 3, the show will also look a bit different, as two key cast members departed after Season 2: Eric Graise (Bobby) and Abby McEnany (Velma). But the Season 3 casting updates aren't all bad! Fiona Rene, who plays Reenie, will remain as the sole original cast member aside from Hartley. And on Thursday, July 31, fan-favorite guest star Jensen Ackles confirmed he's returning as Colter's brother Russell by posting an Instagram video of himself on set.
So when does Tracker Season 3 return with new episodes on CBS? And is Tracker is on tonight, August 3, 2025? Here's everything to know about the future of Tracker on CBS, including Tracker's Season 3 premiere date, Tracker streaming info, and more.
Is On Tonight (8/3/25)?
Technically, yes! Tracker is on tonight, Sunday, August 27, 2025. But there's no new episode on. Instead, CBS will be re-airing TWO Tracker Season 2 episodes:
Season 2, Episode 2, 'Ontological Shock' (9:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. ET): 'When Colter suddenly disappears during his search for a missing father, Reenie recruits his brother, Russell, for help.'
Season 2, Episode 3, 'Bloodlines'(10:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. ET): 'Colter and rival rewardist Billie Matalon team up to find a missing high school baseball star.'
Will There Be A Season 3?
So is Tracker eventually returning with new episodes? Yes! On February 20, 2025, CBS renewed the popular survivalist drama for Season 3, which makes sense, since CBS reported that Tracker hit over 18 million multiplatform viewers in February, a four percent increase from the prior year. On May 7, 2025, CBS claimed another big win when Tracker took the top spot in the network's 2024-2025 season, averaging 17.5 million broadcast and streaming viewers per episode, according to a 35-day Nielsen streaming report. So when will Colter and co. be back with new episodes?
When Will Return With New Episodes On CBS? Tracker Season 3 Premiere Date:
After months of anticipation, CBS finally announced Tracker's Season 3 premiere date. The series won't be returning until CBS's 2026-2027 broadcast season, so fans will have to wait a while for new episodes. But you can officially mark your calendars for Sunday, October 19, at 8:00 p.m. ET!

An Australian artist is creating a massive mural in the middle of a small North Dakota town
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — High atop a massive grain elevator in the middle of Minot, North Dakota, artist Guido van Helten swipes a concrete wall with a brush that looks more appropriate for painting a fence than creating a monumental mural. Back and forth van Helten brushes, focused on his work and not bothered by the sheer enormity of his task as he stands in a boom lift, 75 feet (23 meters) off the ground, and focused on a few square feet of a structure that stretches over most of a city block. 'When you use these old structures to kinda share stories and use them as a vehicle to carry an image of identity, it becomes part of the landscape,' he said. 'I've found that people have really adopted them and become really super proud of them.' The work on the former Union Silos is van Helten's latest effort to paint murals on a gigantic scale, with earlier projects on structures ranging from a dam in Australia to part of a former cooling tower at the Chernobyl nuclear plant in Ukraine. Although he has created murals throughout the world, grain silos in the U.S. Midwest have been among his most frequent sites. 'I do enjoy the opportunity to uncover stories that are often kinda considered out of the way or flyover communities,' he said. Van Helten has been creating murals for years, working increasingly in the U.S. over the past seven years and around the world. The 38-year-old Brisbane native's interest in regional communities began in earnest after a mural he created years ago on a silo in an Australian town of 100 people. The new idea, he said, drew interest, and he began a series of commissions around Australia and the U.S. He uses a mineral silicate paint formulated to absorb and bond with concrete, and it lasts a long time. He mixes tones specific to the color of the wall and subtly layers the work so it blends in. 'I love the coloring of these buildings, so I don't want to fight with them, I don't want to change it, I don't want it to be bright. I want it to become part of the landscape,' he said. It's not a quick process, as van Helten initially meets with residents to learn about a community and then spends months slowly transforming what is usually the largest structure in a small town. He began painting in Minot in May with plans for a 360-degree mural that combines photography with painting to depict the people and culture of an area. The Minot elevator and silos were built in the 1950s and were an economic center for years before they ceased operations around the early 1990s. Van Helten isn't giving too much away about what his Minot mural will depict, but said he has been inspired by concepts of land and ownership while in North Dakota, from ranching and the oil field to Native American perspectives. Minot is a city of nearly 50,000 people and sits near the Bakken oil field and Fort Berthold Indian Reservation. 'It is really when you boil down to it in many ways about land and how different cultures interpret that and connect with it, and I feel it's really interesting in North Dakota because it is really such a big, open land,' the artist said. Much of the mural is still taking shape, but images of a barn and female figures are visible. Property owner Derek Hackett said the mural is 'a great way to take what is kind of a blighted property and be able to give it a facelift and kind of resurrect its presence in our skyline.' Soon the mural will be visible from almost anywhere in town, he said. The mural project is entirely donation-funded, costing about $350,000, about 85% of which is already raised, said Chelsea Gleich, a spokesperson for the project. 'It is uniquely ours, it's uniquely North Dakota and you'll never be able to find a piece just like this anywhere else,' she said.

Carole Radziwill Makes Surprise Return to Bravo After 7 Year Absence — and Shares Hug with Andy Cohen: 'So Crazy'
The former 'Real Housewives of New York City' star reunited publicly with her former boss, after years of not speakingNEED TO KNOW Carole Radziwill made a surprise return to Bravo on Aug. 4 during an episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen The former RHONY star hugged Andy Cohen and joked about being back in the Clubhouse for the first time in seven years Radziwill promoted her new CNN documentary American Prince: JFK Jr. about her cousin John F. Kennedy Jr., airing Aug. 9And just like that, Bravo's very own Carrie Bradshaw is back. Carole Radziwill made a surprise return to the network on Monday, Aug. 4, in an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. It's the first time the What Remains author has been on the network since her departure from The Real Housewives of New York City seven years ago. She famously had a falling out with executive producer Andy Cohen, though as PEOPLE exclusively revealed in November 2024, the two had squashed the beef. Certainly that's what viewers saw on his late night show. Entering into Cohen's Clubhouse after a game of 'Mystery Housewife Caller,' Radziwill greeted her former boss with a big grin and an enthusiastic hug. "It's Carole Radziwill!" Cohen told guests Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers, giving her a round of applause. "Making a triumphant return! Good to see you!" Radziwill, for her part, took a moment to get used to her surroundings. "This is so crazy, by the way, to be here," she admitted, looking around. "I know, it's been a minute! Radzi, it's been a minute!" Cohen told her, using his nickname for her. Yang and Rogers then showered Radziwill with praise. "We're honored to be here for you coming back," Rogers said. "One of the things that made me fall in love with Housewives. I remember, season 7, when you went on the vacation with Dorinda [Medley] and you were both connecting over your [dead husbands], that was really when I was first truly moved by a Housewives show. I just, I love you on the show." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Before the series ended, Radziwill plugged her upcoming appearance on CNN's upcoming three-part documentary American Prince about her cousin, John F. Kennedy, Jr. It airs Aug. 9. "It's nice because I don't participate in a lot of that, but I had a chance to say something nice about John and George [magazine]," she said. "I'm probably the only woman in the world who's tired of seeing John without a shirt on, so I get to talk about what really mattered to him and his passion and his magazine and of course, Carolyn [Bessette-Kennedy]." Cohen and Radziwill were friends before she joined the cast of RHONY in season 5, which aired in 2012. The two appeared to be friendly during her years on the show, but things between them became fractured as her friendship with Bethenny Frankel fell apart. For years, the two only communicated while trading jabs in the press and on social media. But at Bravo Fan Fest 2024 in November, Cohen told PEOPLE that he and Radziwill had "reconnected" after six years of not speaking. "It feels great," the 57-year-old father of two said at the time. "Carole and I knew each other for years, before she was ever on the Housewives — for many years. I think I've known her more outside of the Housewives than I have in the Housewives. So it was definitely good to reconnect." Speaking with PEOPLE soon thereafter, Radziwill, 61, said she was glad she and Cohen had finally talked. "We both came to understand that our disagreements had everything to do with the high-pressure nature of the show and very little to do with our friendship, which preceded it," she said. "Andy and I are very much on the same page now, and I'm happy about that." Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen airs Sunday-Thursday evenings on Bravo. Read the original article on People

Celebrity chef Curtis Duffy tells story of his trauma, triumphs in memoir
For 25 years, chef Curtis Duffy has been making his mark on the Chicago food scene — earning James Beard Awards, Michelin stars, and celebrity status. Now, for the first time, Duffy is telling his story in his own words — from a traumatic childhood to the top of the culinary world. Duffy's memoir, "Fireproof: Memoir of a Chef," is out on Tuesday. "For me, it's time. It's always about the time, right?" Duffy said. "You can never cheat time. Time allows us to hone our skill, hone everything that we do." Duffy has spent the last 35 years honing his craft. "I've always felt that you have a responsibility to yourself to be great," said Duffy, "and no one else is going to give that to you. No one else is going to force you to do that." It was that mindset that has helped propel Duffy from a childhood defined by chaos in small-town Ohio to becoming one of America's best chefs. He has risen through the ranks of Chicago's most critically acclaimed restaurant — Charlie Trotter's, Alinea, and Avenues — to leading his own, Grace, formerly at 652 W. Randolph St., and now, Ever at 1340 W. Fulton St. The story is spelled out in "Fireproof," written with friend Jeremy Wagner. "It gave me the opportunity to kind of just tell those stories even though I've told them before. But I actually have a place to put them away," Duffy said. "Like now, I feel like I don't have to carry them with me. I have a place to just put it on the shelf. If I want to ever dive back in, it's right there." It is clear from page one that Duffy has had a lot to carry. His parents died by murder-suicide when he was 19 years old. In his memoir, Duffy details the abuse he suffered as a child — but is careful to not paint his father as a monster. "What he was taught is what he was teaching us. He didn't know any better, you know?" said Duffy. "And for me, it was so important to kind of break that cycle as I became a father." How Duffy was able to break that cycle of poverty and abuse started with an understanding, even as a child, that there had to be something else out there. "I had dreamt, like, there's got to more than this. Like I had not seen the world, of course — I was 13 years old — but I knew there was more out there," said Duffy. "When you see a glimpse of light, you chase it. And that's what I did." That light appeared in the form of one incredible middle school teacher and an introduction to cooking. "What I felt at the time was love, you know? It was just pure positivity, and it was so needed at the time," Duffy said. "So I just embraced it so much." When Duffy found cooking, more positive influences found him. But as he poured himself into restaurant work, his father's life was falling apart. "So now at this point, everybody's out of the house — my brother, my sister, my mom, me. And I felt very sympathetic," Duffy said. "I felt very sad… because here he is all alone now, and this is his life — and he couldn't deal with it." Maybe the most surprising twist in Duffy's story is a letter his father wrote him shortly before Duffy's father took his own estranged wife hostage, killed her, and then killed himself. "Curt," it reads, "this is Dad. You're a very special young man and I wish I could tell you how proud of you I am…. You'll be a great chef, no doubt in my mind, you'll be one of the best in the world someday…. Please be a better person than I was. I know you can." Duffy said it haunts him to this day that his father wrote that letter, and there was so much love and wisdom within it. He has to reconcile that person with the person his father had been for most of his childhood. "Well, I often think about, you know, it would have been nice to have that through my life, and that affirmation through my childhood — and the belief and the vision that he sees, and he clearly writes there, verbalized to me as a child, you know? I mean, that letter is pure love," said Duffy, "and, you know, we didn't see that growing up. Very rarely, we got to see the tender, soft side of my father through that. That's why that letter is so special to me." The letter fueled Duffy to keep pushing forward and build a career in Chicago. His ascent was swift, but not without its setbacks — the biggest of which happened in 2017, after a bad investor deal prompted the abrupt and painful closure of his three-Michelin-star masterpiece, Grace. "I try to look at it from a positive side, because I learned a lot from that failure. You know, I learned a lot — and it made me a better chef, a better person, a better leader, a better businessman, a better entrepreneur to now have Ever, After, and The Canvas," said Duffy. "That was a win for me. Whether it was a loss or not, that was a win — because I'm in a much better place than I was before." At 50 years old, Duffy is the happiest he's ever been — thanks in large part to meeting the love of his life, Jennifer. "It is the best time of my life, like the last 10 years. And it's all a hundred percent because of her, and what she brings to the table every single day, you know?" Duffy said. "She makes me a better person." And "better" is what Duffy is chasing every day at his two-Michelin-star restaurant, Ever. "We're just as hungry as we were when we were chasing then," said Duffy, "and I will continue to do what I got to do every day until I get that third star. It's there." Duffy believes it is just a matter of time.
