After stealing the spotlight as Russell Shaw in Tracker, Jensen Ackles has once again proven that he’s more than just a guest star — he’s a fan favorite and a powerhouse performer. According to Tracker showrunner Elwood Reid, discussions about expanding Ackles’ character into a possible spinoff series are already happening behind closed doors.

Reid praised Ackles’ energy, calling him “the kind of actor who can carry an entire show.” Fans across social media are now imagining what a solo Tracker story centered on Russell Shaw could look like — darker, deeper, and packed with the kind of mystery and emotion that Ackles is known for.

Could Tracker become the start of an entirely new franchise with Jensen in the lead? Nothing has been officially confirmed yet, but if CBS and Ackles decide to move forward, this could easily be one of the most anticipated spinoffs in years.
