Social media is on fire with speculation that Tracker Season 3 will include a crossover event with fellow CBS hit Fire Country. Fans across Facebook groups and Reddit threads have been fueling the rumor mill, with some boldly declaring the crossover “confirmed.” But what’s the real story behind the hype?
First, let’s get one thing straight: CBS has not officially confirmed a crossover between the two series. While both Tracker and Fire Country have been renewed—Tracker heading into Season 3 and Fire Country into Season 4—no public statement has been made by the network, showrunners, or cast to say a crossover is currently in development.
That said, the idea isn’t coming from nowhere. Max Thieriot, who stars as Bode Donovan and also executive produces Fire Country, has previously hinted that a crossover with Tracker is possible—and even exciting. He mentioned in interviews that since both shows air on CBS and share high-stakes, emotionally driven storytelling, a storyline involving wildfires, missing persons, or survival missions could easily serve as the perfect bridge between the two worlds.
Fans have imagined scenarios where Colter Shaw, played by Justin Hartley, is called in to help locate a missing person in a fire zone—bringing him face to face with the Edgewater crew. The theory gained traction online after a particularly intense Fire Country episode this past season, where viewers noted the plot felt tailor-made for a Shaw-style investigation.
But despite the fan fervor, it’s important to separate wishful thinking from confirmed fact. As of now, this potential crossover lives only in the minds of excited viewers and supportive cast members. No filming schedule, script hints, or crossover event has been teased by CBS directly.
Still, it’s worth noting that the growing trend of connected universes and cross-show promotions makes something like this more likely than ever. CBS has done it before, and with both shows riding strong ratings waves, a future crossover remains entirely within reach.
Until then, viewers can enjoy new seasons of both Tracker and Fire Country—and keep dreaming about the moment Colter and Bode finally share a screen.
