Justin Hartley is back for ‘Tracker’ Season 2—let’s take a look back at his greatest TV roles, from ‘Passions’ to ‘The Young and the Restless.’
The thrilling series ‘Tracker’ is back for a second season, once again featuring Justin Hartley as the sharp-witted survivalist Colter Shaw. Created by Ben H. Winters and adapted from Jeffery Deaver’s 2019 novel ‘The Never Game,’ ‘Tracker’ first premiered on February 11, 2024, right after Super Bowl LVIII on CBS. After its success, the show was renewed in March 2024, with its much-anticipated second season debuting on October 13, 2024, starring Hartley once again. Let's take a journey through some of Hartley’s greatest TV performances!
Passions,’ created by screenwriter James E. Reilly and produced by NBC Studios, weaves together the lives, loves, and supernatural adventures of the residents of Harmony, a quaint New England town brimming with secrets. Justin Hartley portrayed Nicholas Foxworth Crane from 2002 to 2006, making his mark on the iconic series. Notably, ‘Passions’ holds a special place in TV history as the last daytime soap opera created for American network television, adding to its legacy and uniqueness.
‘Smallville’ is a superhero television series developed by writer-producers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, inspired by the iconic DC Comics character Superman, created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. The show ran for an impressive 10 seasons, with its finale airing on May 13, 2011. Justin Hartley joined the cast as Oliver Queen, the CEO of Queen Industries and leader of a small band of superheroes known as the Justice League. Initially a recurring guest in seasons six and seven, Hartley became a series regular in season eight, having been the producers' top choice to portray the character of Oliver Queen.
Created by Mike Kelley, the drama series ‘Revenge’ stars Madeleine Stowe, Emily VanCamp, and Justin Hartley. The show's plot draws inspiration from Alexandre Dumas' 1844 novel ‘The Count of Monte Cristo.’ ‘Revenge’ quickly became ABC’s highest-rated series in the Wednesday 10 p.m. time slot since ‘Lost’ in the 2006–2007 season. Hartley played Patrick Osbourne in a recurring role, appearing in 13 episodes during season 3.
‘Mistresses’ is an American mystery drama soap opera based on the British series of the same name, centered on the lives of four female friends entangled in a web of illicit and complicated relationships. Justin Hartley portrayed Scott Trosman in seasons 2 through 4. The series ran for a total of four seasons, and although a fifth season was anticipated, it was expected to serve as the show's final chapter had it been produced.
Created by William J. Bell and Lee Phillip Bell for CBS, the soap opera ‘The Young and the Restless’ initially centered on two core families: the affluent Brooks family and the working-class Foster family. However, after significant recasting and character departures in the early 1980s, all the original characters, except for Jill Foster Abbott, were written out. Despite these changes, one of the show’s most enduring and iconic storylines was the four-decade-long feud between Jill Abbott and Katherine Chancellor played by Peter Bergman and Jeanne Cooper respectively, making it the longest-running rivalry in American soap opera history. Justin Hartley played Adam Newman as a series regular.
