Tracker Season 4: Russell Shaw Faces New Pressure, Ackles Back on Set
Showrunner Elwood Reid says Jensen Ackles' Russell Shaw won't be on a single mission in Tracker season 4, and Ackles has returned to film episode 5.
Russell Shaw is heading into dangerous territory in Tracker season 4. Showrunner Elwood Reid said Jensen Ackles' character will not be on a single mission this season, and that Russell is being roped into a situation where he is at the beck and call of someone leveraging the knowledge he gained.
Ackles has already returned to the Tracker set to film episode 5, and Reid hopes the actor's schedule will allow him to appear in a couple more episodes.
How Russell Shaw Became a Tracker Fixture
Ackles joined Tracker in season 1 as Colter Shaw's estranged brother. He returned for five more appearances, including the season 3 finale, which showed Russell being shot while trying to save DARPA test subjects.
In that same finale, Russell was given shocking information about his late father and left town to begin another mission. The new season 4 storyline picks up with someone using what Russell learned against him.
Reid's comments, reported by screenrant.com, suggest Russell's next chapter will keep him under pressure rather than on a straightforward assignment.
