This is now for Justin Hartley and Jon Huertas.

The This is Us alumni have teamed up once again, this time behind the scenes of Hartley's new CBS series Tracker.

Huertas will direct an upcoming episode, titled "Aurora," which will air on April 21, and PEOPLE has the exclusive first look.

In the photos, Hartley and Huertas can be seen posing with the director's slate, and then inside what appears to be a living room while they work out aspects of a scene.

"Aurora," which will be the ninth episode of the season, will see Hartley's character Colter Shaw searching to find the missing daughter of a widower.

The exploration, however, “leads him into the world of ghost hunting and paranornal activity,” per the episode description from CBS.

When PEOPLE caught up with Hartley, 47, prior to the Tracker series premiere in February, the actor was more than excited to tease his reunion with Huertas. 

“I'll be with him every day on set,” Hartley said. “We'll be spending a ton of time together.”

Hartley also previously shared with PEOPLE that he is still very much “in touch” with the rest of his former on-screen family.

“All those guys! Sterling [K. Brown] and I just got a little video message from Mandy [Moore]. She was doing something ridiculous and it felt like she might've been making fun of us. She probably was,” Hartley said with a laugh. “I love them.”

The actor starred in all six seasons of This Is Us, playing Kevin Pearson, one of three siblings in a family touched by tragedy. 

After patriarch Jack Pearson (Milo Ventimiglia) died following a tragic house fire, Kevin's mom, Rebecca, would go on to eventually marry her late husband's friend, Miguel (Huertas).

"Camden" will air at a special time, 8 p.m. EST, on CBS.
