The long-awaited face-off between Colter Shaw and his estranged older brother is finally on the way. Tracker‘s post-Super Bowl series premiere teased a major conflict between Justin Hartley’s character and his mysterious brother, who fans only saw in a couple of flashbacks to childhood. Russell, Colter’s older brother, seemingly killed their father by pushing him off a cliff in the woods, following an altercation that saw their dad get rough with their little sister. The death was ruled an accident but Colter never saw it that way, and he has gone years without seeing or speaking to Russell.

CBS made big waves with the announcement that the long-awaited debut of grown-up Russell Shaw would arrive near the end of Season 1, with . His episode will be the second-to-last of the season, airing on Sunday May 12th. That’s one week after Manifest‘s Melissa Roxburgh guest stars as Colter and Russell’s younger sister, Dory.
