Ratings: ‘Tracker’ Returns with 8.3M Viewers for CBS

The premiere of Tracker’s second season is a remarkable achievement, solidifying its status as a leading show in the current television landscape. Attracting 8.3 million Live+Same Day viewers in its new Sunday 8 PM time slot is impressive, especially considering the competitive environment with NBC's Sunday Night Football and MLB playoffs. The fact that it’s the highest-rated linear premiere of the 2024-25 season speaks volumes about its growing popularity.

This season opener’s viewership increase of 13% from its 60 Minutes lead-in highlights the show’s strong following and effective promotion. It’s particularly noteworthy that Tracker outperformed major competitors, indicating a strong viewer loyalty that’s crucial for a procedural drama.

The comparison to previous season premieres, especially with it being the most-viewed regularly scheduled broadcast opener in three years, underscores Tracker's success. It not only surpassed the NCIS Season 19 premiere but also positions it as a strong contender in a market filled with established shows.

The access to Season 1 on Hulu, alongside its streaming presence on Paramount+, likely contributed to the increased interest in the series, making it easier for new viewers to catch up. This strategy could bolster its ratings even further as more people discover the show.

Overall, Tracker seems poised for continued success, and it will be exciting to see how the second season unfolds and whether it can maintain or build upon its impressive viewership numbers.
