Tracker is heading home to California. The CBS thriller led by Justin Hartley will shift production to Los Angeles for Season 4, with filming set to begin in June after the show’s May 24 finale closes out Season 3.
The move is backed by a $48 million tax credit to shoot in California, a figure that tops the $42 million credit awarded to Fallout for Los Angeles filming. For a series that premiered in 2024 and has already run three seasons, the relocation marks a major change for a show that has spent most of its life filming in Vancouver even as its story plays out across the United States.
Tracker has been one of CBS’ important series since it arrived in 2024. Season 1 ended in May 2024, Season 2 ran from October 2024 to May 2025, and Season 3 began in October 2025 before wrapping up with the finale on May 24. The show has already been renewed for Season 4, so the production move is not a reset so much as a next step.
That next step matters because the series has relied on Vancouver for three full seasons while telling a story set in different places around the country. Bringing production to Los Angeles aligns the setting of the work behind the camera with the American landscape the show has always sold in front of it, and the California tax credit is what makes that possible.
The tension is simple: Tracker is leaving the Canadian production base that helped define it, but it is not doing so because the show is slowing down. It is moving because California is paying enough to bring it back. With cameras set to roll in June, the question now is not whether Tracker will keep going. It is how much the change in location will reshape one of CBS’ most important shows.
