CBS Scheduling: Tracker Pauses for Cupertino Finale
The survivalist series skips its regular November 8 slot to allow the legal drama to conclude, with new content resuming on November 15.

CBS is withholding new episodes of its hit procedural Tracker for one week.
The network decided to pause the show to broadcast the final three installments of its new legal drama, Cupertino. This scheduling shift means viewers will not see a new chapter in the story on Sunday, November 8, 2026.
Tracker Season 4 began its run on October 4, 2026. The season reintroduced the core cast, including Justin Hartley as Colter, Fiona Rene as Reenie, Chris Lee as Randy, and Cassaday McClincy Zhang as Mel. By the time the fifth episode aired, the show brought back Jensen Ackles, who plays Colter's brother Russell Shaw. That reunion marked a key moment for the season's narrative.
CBS chose to dedicate the November 8 broadcast window to Cupertino, a series set in Silicon Valley. The show is produced by Robert and Michelle King and stars Mike Colter, Rachel Keller, Busy Philipps, and Ella Stiller. The network is airing the remaining three episodes of this series back-to-back or in succession during the time typically reserved for Tracker. This move allows Cupertino to reach its conclusion without interruption.
Tracker will resume its regular schedule on Sunday, November 15, 2026. The season's sixth episode, titled Blind Spot, will air from 9:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Eastern and Pacific Time on CBS. Viewers can also watch the episode live on Paramount+ with a Premium subscription. The platform will offer next-day streaming for those who miss the live broadcast.
The synopsis for Blind Spot details a new investigation. Reenie asks Colter to help find the estranged daughter of her mentor. The search reveals a dangerous conspiracy that threatens the group. This episode serves as the next step in the fourth season's ongoing plotlines.
For those needing to catch up on previous seasons or rewatch recent episodes, Paramount+ offers two main subscription options. The Essential plan, which includes advertisements, costs $8.99 per month. The Premium plan, which is ad-free and includes access to Showtime titles and live CBS content, costs $13.99 per month. New subscribers can start with a seven-day free trial of the Premium tier.
