What we need to know

Disney+ is offering its subscribers a very nice exclusive with Tracker, a police drama that airs on CBS in the United States. The series, directed by Justin Hartley and adapted from Jeffery Deaver’s novel The Never Game, enjoyed great success on the other side of the Atlantic, and was renewed a month after its launch in February 2024.

It should be said that the first episode was broadcast after the Superbowl – a sporting event that brings together millions of viewers every year – which allowed it to set a record: the most watched new series in six years, thus beating Young. Sheldon.

Very serious according to the numbers provided by the site NielsenThe pilot has been viewed 30 million times, counting views on CBS and Paramount+, where it was immediately posted online.

It should also be said that the channel focused on a very popular actor in the society. Before surviving The Colter Show, Justin Hartley made millions of viewers cry in the drama This Is Us, which ended in 2022.

A change of register for one we particularly found to be Oliver Queen/Green Arrow in Smallville. The tracker takes us to the American mountain landscapes, where the hero, a modern bounty hunter, helps the police all over the country.

Tracker is a procedural series – each episode features a different investigation – with a common thread. The first episode sets up the main story about the hero’s past: we learn that his father, a hermit who taught him everything, died under strange circumstances and that he maintains a conflicted relationship with his brother.

With the help of flashbacks, the series gives us exactly the clues that make us want to continue the episodes. An original on paper, but with a classic application, Tracker has something to appeal to the French public who love detective series.

Tracker, a series to discover exclusively on Disney+ starting today.
