Tracker has made some massive solid modifications forward of returning for Season 3 within the fall of the 2025 TV schedule, with the departures of Abby McEnany and Eric Graise leaving Justin Hartley and Fiona Rene as the one two collection regulars left. Thankfully, solid cuts do not imply acquainted faces cannot return, and Countdown‘s Jensen Ackles has confirmed that he’ll be again as Russell Shaw for Season 3. With that excellent news, I am unable to assist however assume it would be nice to see Hartley as a visitor star on Ackles’ Countdown if it returns for Season 2 on Prime Video.
Jensen Ackles’ Return To Countdown
The timing could not be higher for the official information that Jensen Ackles will reprise his function as Russell Shaw reverse Justin Hartley as Colter Shaw, because the Supernatural vet not too long ago shared what it is like working with the This Is Us alum. No particulars can be found about Russell’s subsequent look apart from that filming so early possible means he’ll seem sooner somewhat than later in Season 3… and Russell will nonetheless have a beard, based mostly on the enjoyable video. Take a look at Ackles’ announcement:
Effectively, credit score to Jensen Ackles for mastering the artwork of dropping information with out making a gift of any spoilers, as a result of he did not even say the phrase “Tracker” in his video! Any eagle-eyed viewer may be left with little doubt, nevertheless. Even when we thought-about the likelihood that Ackles would one way or the other have taken on a completely completely different character on a distinct present who simply additionally occurs to be named Russell, the actor does barely pan the digicam over to see Hartley’s “Colter” trailer.
With out a lot to go on to take a position, I am unable to assist but in addition be aware that Ackles made positive to shout out the newest episode of Countdown, out there streaming now with a Prime Video subscription. Whereas the action-packed drama has but to be renewed for Season 2, I feel Justin Hartley must make a visitor look if it does.
Might Justin Hartley Seem On Countdown Season 2?
Contemplating that Countdown kicked off by introducing after which killing a personality performed by Milo Ventimiglia, the This Is Us connection alone would make an look by Justin Hartley fairly enjoyable. That is to not say he’d have to be killed off, however even a cameo may be sufficient. Plus, Ackles and Hartley are each alums of long-running reveals on The WB/The CW. Hartley performed Oliver Queen on Smallville, whereas Ackles had stints on Dawson’s Creek and Smallville earlier than touchdown his beloved function as Dean Winchester on Supernatural.
Clearly, the 2 have each come a good distance from their days as CW stars, and with Jensen Ackles showing on Tracker, why not Hartley on Countdown? Ackles seemingly has a packed schedule with Countdown, his The Boys spinoff, and now dropping out and in of Tracker once in a while. Absolutely Hartley might have a break in his Tracker calendar for even a tiny cameo, proper?
Effectively, I can at all times hope! For now, followers of Jensen Ackles can simply cross their fingers that Countdown is renewed for a second season, whereas Tracker viewers can maintain counting down the times till the CBS drama returns in October.
