Chris Jericho is returning to television this weekend, but not for a pro wrestling company. Jericho announced that he will guest star on Sunday’s Tracker on CBS. Jericho wrote on social media (see below) that he will play a character named Virgil Dean, and described him as “the lead bad guy” on Sunday’s episode.
Powell’s POV: The Tracker series is based on the novel The Never Game by Jeffery Deaver. Justin Hartley stars as the lead character, Colter Shaw. The show has the highest viewership counts of any weekly series on broadcast television, with roughly eight million viewers per week. Replays are available the next day on Paramount+.
