Justin Hartley can no longer be Kevin Pearson on a popular show This is usbut he is returning to television with a new series called tracker. The premiere date is set right after the Super Bowl in 2024, and the series will find life on CBS. So we’ll just have to wait to see who plays this Super Bowl before moving on to Hartley’s new series. Personally, let’s pray that Jack Pearson is chosen by the Pittsburgh Steelers (Milo Ventimiglia) performance.

Since Hartley will play Shaw’s Colter, the series also features cast members. Robin Weigert, Abby McEnany, Eric Graze And Fiona Rene in it, and will be based on the best-selling novel Never game To Geoffrey Deaver. While it’s still some time before the show’s release on CBS, that doesn’t stop the network from engaging audiences - in the midst of a WGA strike that doesn’t show signs of ending anytime soon, so it’s certainly a choice. .

According to Deadline, the series, formerly titled Never game “Follows a lone survivalist wolf named Coulter Shaw (Hartley) as he roams the country as a ‘bounty seeker’, using his expert tracking skills to help private individuals and law enforcement solve all sorts of mysteries while fighting his own fractured family. “

The promotion of the show began during March Madness, when the president of CBS Mike Benson spoke about his strategy to excite the public. “We’re going to approach this strategically and build anticipation,” he told Deadline. “We are creating what I think is more like a story driven marketing campaign. In the spirit of the show, we’re leaving a popcorn trail for the audience.”

Will the strike affect Tracker?

To be honest, it seems a little strange to me right now to promote new shows to the public. The WGA strike is still on and shows how tracker they’re the ones who will be deadlocked if the studios don’t pay the writers what they’re owed sooner rather than later. So to promote the series and inspire viewers with something is a bold move, given that it either has to be fully already finished or likely to find delays later.

But Benson has been talking about the show for years. It was intended to become a pilot as early as the fall of 2021, and the series was ordered in December 2022. “We never had that opportunity when we picked a show so quickly so we could start promoting it so soon. Benson said. “There has never been so much content, and we really want to make sure we create awareness and interest in it. When we have the opportunity to do so, as with March Madness, which has an audience that we think will be interested, we want to take advantage of it.”

Until we know more about the series and where it’s at (in terms of completion), it’s important to use our excitement about upcoming shows to show studios that without writers bringing them to life, we would never have these serials. first place. Let’s hope the studios stop refusing to listen to writers and find a solution sooner rather than later. Or shows how tracker may not make it to that Super Bowl release date, and it’s all the fault of the studios.
