CBS recently announced the creation of a new series based on Jeffrey Deaver's novel The Never Game. Originally titled The Never Game, the show underwent a name change to Tracker, which may cause some confusion with Amazon's Lee Child series, Reacher. However, Tracker seems to cater to CBS's desire to provide a broadcast schedule filled with thrilling episodic content, akin to the popular Reacher series.
Tracker introduces us to Colter Shaw, played by Justin Hartley, who is a rewardist - a person who collects rewards for tracking down missing individuals and solving basic mysteries. Colter, much like the iconic Jack Reacher, is a wandering samurai who possesses remarkable skills acquired from his survivalist upbringing with a paranoid father. He navigates the Northwest in his GMC truck, towing a shiny Airstream trailer and avoiding law enforcement's assistance.
