This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.

Summary Jensen Ackles joins Tracker as Colter's brother Russell Shaw.

Justin Hartley teased Ackles' appearance on Instagram, calling it a "perfect casting choice."

Ackles has experience as both an onscreen brother and an action star that should help him develop this new character.

Tracker has brought on The Boys star Jensen Ackles in a major role. The CBS show, which is based on the Jeffery Deaver novel The Never Game, follows lone-wolf survivalist Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley), who makes money by helping various people with his tracking skills. The ensemble cast of the show also includes Robin Weigert, Abby McEnany, Eric Graise, and Fiona Rene. One character who has been brought up multiple times on the show but has not yet appeared is Colter's brother Russell Shaw, with whom there is some major family drama.

On Instagram, Justin Hartley shared a video update revealing that Russell Shaw will finally be appearing as they prepare for Tracker season 2. Check it out below:

As he talks, describing their "perfect casting choice" who "knocks it out of the park every time," the sound of someone playing a video game can be heard in the background. Hartley eventually pans to reveal that Ackles is in the room with him, implying that he will be playing Russell. At the time of writing, it has not been made clear if Ackles' Russell will appear on multiple episodes or just one.
