The season 3 midseason finale of Tracker<\/em><\/a> ended with Justin Hartley<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s Colter Shaw in a horrible car crash \u2014 but could he actually be dead?<\/p>\n

During the Sunday, December 14, episode of the hit CBS series, Colter traveled to help Keaton (Brent Sexton<\/strong>) on a case that ultimately turned deadly. Keaton\u2019s cop friend was the first victim of the investigation and then Keaton himself got severely injured. Colter was driving Keaton to get medical aid when their car went off the road and flipped over multiple times.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty bad,\u201d executive producer Elwood Reid<\/strong> exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em>. \u201cThe situation we pick directly up in [episode] 10 is pretty dire. Part of the puzzle is [whether] Keaton [is] dead or is he alive? How does Colter save himself or try to resuscitate Keaton?\u201d<\/p>\n

Since Colter is the main character, it is likely that he survives.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tSince Tracker premiered on CBS, Justin Hartley has taken it upon himself to remind viewers that his character Colter Shaw can \u2014 and will \u2014 die. Based on Jeffery Deaver\u2018s novel The Never Game, Tracker centers around a survivalist named Colter who travels the country helping find missing people (or sometimes dogs) and solving cases [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s Tracker so I am sure Justin will be there for the rest of the episodes. But it\u2019s just fun to mess him up physically. There\u2019s some real benefit to that because he\u2019s human. One of the things that the network said early on is they don\u2019t want to be a superhero,\u201d he noted. \u201cI think that\u2019s what\u2019s fun about it. That was the way we entered this. What\u2019s the closest we could come and what is the worst situation we could put him in and see if he can get out of it \u2014 if he can.\u201d<\/p>\n

Based on Jeffery Deaver<\/strong>\u2018s novel The Never Game<\/em>, Tracker<\/em> centers around a survivalist<\/a> named Colter who travels the country helping find missing people and solving cases others wouldn\u2019t. Hartley has previously warned that the fan-favorite cast isn\u2019t immoral.<\/p>\n

Reid, however, hinted that the chances of Colter being killed off are slim, telling Us<\/em>, \u201cFirst of all, I think Justin would kill me so you\u2019d probably have no showrunner. Also this show really just lives and dies with Justin\u2019s character \u2014 even when he\u2019s not kicking down doors or rescuing kidnapped kids. We\u2019re on this ride with this guy who\u2019s emotionally given his word that he\u2019s going to help these people.\u201d<\/p>\n

While there is room for Colter<\/a> to be out of commission for several episodes \u2014 there would be challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have any way of doing it outside of bringing in [his brother] Russell or something. I don\u2019t know how you would ever do it \u2014 nor would I want to do it,\u201d he noted. \u201cThe show works best when the audience is right over Colter\u2019s shoulder. It\u2019s almost claustrophobic in some ways, but there\u2019s something about the way that Justin portrays this character. He\u2019s able to \u2014 without a lot of words \u2014 bring gravity to every scene.\u201d<\/p>\n
