The Walker, Texas Ranger reboot is back in the saddle, and the white hats are bringing the action and the emotion. In Walker Season 4, premiering Wednesday, April 3 on The CW, Jared Padalecki’s Cordell Walker “is probably put in the biggest danger he’s ever been in, and that, of course, causes a ripple effect with his loved ones,” says showrunner Anna Fricke. As teased at the end of last year, our hero (right) is about to deal with the reemergence of “The Jackal,” a serial killer he and Capt. Larry James (Coby Bell) failed to catch years ago. The case nearly consumed James—we see the destruction it caused in flashback tonight—so the captain’s wife, Kelly (Kearran Giovanni), begs Cordy and newly minted Ranger Trey (Jeff Pierre) to keep their investigation a secret. Cordy isn’t the only Walker hiding things. Brother Liam (Keegan Allen) is still helping his niece,...

It’s final. There will be no second season for Walker Independence. Efforts to find a new home for the CBS Studios-produced Walker spinoff were unsuccessful following cancellation by the CW, sources have confirmed to Deadline.
Executive producer Jared Padalecki earlier told Deadline’s sister site TVLine, which first reported the show would not be moving elsewhere, that they were “aggressively looking for a place that Walker Independence could land,” but ultimately came up short.
Starring Matt Barr and Katherine McNamara, Walker Independence, whose pilot was written by Seamus Fahey based on a story by him and Anna Fricke, and directed by Larry Teng, was set in the late 1800s. It followed an affluent Bostonian named Abby Walker (McNamara), whose husband is murdered in front of her while on their trek out West.

Walker Independence executive producer Jared Padalecki is not giving up hope that the show will find a way to go on and says a search is underway to find a new home for Season 2. Following the CW’s cancellation of the Walker prequel series Tuesday, Padalecki tells Deadline’s sister site TVLine, “We are aggressively looking for a place that Walker Independence can land.”

The CW announced on Tuesday (May 11) that it was canceling Walker prequel series Walker: Independence after just one season, and the show’s star Katherine McNamara had resigned herself to this unfortunate fate. “When it comes to this year specifically, I knew that everything’s changing at The CW; everything’s changing in television in general. And there are so many options and opportunities and unorthodox ways in which shows stay, continue, get canceled, get renewed somewhere else entirely,” McNamara told Collider on Monday, May 10, a day before the cancellation was announced. “I have become so resigned when it comes to these things; I just leave it up to the television gods,” she continued. “I’ve gone, ‘You know what?

Walker: Independence is no more.
The CW has opted to cancel the prequel to the network’s Walker reboot after a single season. The series starring Katherine McNamara was the last of The CW’s bubble shows from CBS Studios. The news comes mere minutes after the Jared Padalecki-led Walker was renewed for an abbreviated 13-episode fourth season at the Nexstar-controlled CW.
Walker: Independence debuted in October as a midseason bow after station group Nexstar took control of The CW. The 1800s-set series wrapped its 13-episode run in early March with a mere 440,000 live same-day viewers, a stat that is increasingly important to Nexstar as it looks to make The CW profitable.
Anna Fricke served as showrunner on the prequel series and will continue in that role on the flagship series for the 2023-24 broadcast season. While Walker ranks as The CW’s most-watched linear series, the spinoff failed to deliver similar results.

The CW has canceled Walker prequel Walker Independence after one season.
The move, which was expected, follows the CW’s renewal of mothership series Walker earlier today.
The bulk of the CW’s existing scripted series will be canceled this week as the network is transitioning to a new business model of lower-cost scripted programming in pursuit of profitability. While Walker is the CW’s most watched series, Walker: Independence was in the middle of the pack ratings-wise.

The CW has given a 13-episode Season 4 order to Walker, starring Jared Padalecki, to air in 2023-24 broadcast season.
This is the first renewal decision made by the CW under its new regime; as Deadline has reported, flagship All American‘s renewal, announced in January, was part of Nexstar’s deal to acquire the CW.
Walker had been considered the frontrunner among the CW’s scripted series to snag a renewal. It is a strong ratings performer, ranking as the network’s most-watched linear show this season in Total Viewers.
The series also is produced very efficiently by CBS Studios, something that is key to the new CW, which has stressed that they would be shifting toward lower-cost scripted programming in order to make the network profitable.

Then came Walker, a reboot of the show that is now in its third season. Now, the success of Walker has inspired a new prequel, Walker: Independence. Seamus Fahey, who was a writer on Walker, developed the spinoff with Walker creator Anna Fricke; he tells us what inspired the new show and how it came to fruition.

Since a Top 50 cannot begin to scratch the surface in this drawn-out era of Peak TV — yes, it’s still Peak TV — THR wants to acknowledge six writer-producers who’ve made uniquely interesting moves in 2022.
Max Borenstein
Though he has more than a few creator credits on his résumé, Borenstein really courted the zeitgeist, controversy and even a little A-list ire with Lakers dynasty drama Winning Time on HBO.
Nkechi Okoro Carroll, Anna Fricke
The CW’s future may be in limbo, but its present is defined by two women building multiseries franchises (Okoro Carroll’s All American and Fricke’s Walker) as others get axed.
Chris Estrada
The stand-up who previously only dabbled in TV made his exceptional debut as a creator-star in August with This Fool, Hulu’s half-hour comedy about family dynamics set in a gang rehabilitation center.

The apple truly doesn’t fall far from the Hoyt Rawlins tree on Walker Independence.
In the prequel spinoff (premiering this Thursday at 9/8c on The CW), Matt Barr stars as a charismatic outlaw who crosses paths with Katherine McNamara’s Abby Walker in the 1800s Western frontier town of Independence, Texas. The role marks an unexpected return to the Walker universe for Barr, who previously played Hoyt’s descendent — also named Hoyt Rawlins — on the mothership series until he met a tragic end in Season 1.

Abigail Walker (Katherine McNamara) is a woman on a mission to seek vengeance against the man who murdered her husband in the new teaser for The CW’s “Walker: Independence,” which you can view above in a clip shared exclusively with TheWrap.
The prequel to “Walker” takes viewers back some hundred years to the late 19th century, on the frontiers of the Wild West in the eponymous Texas town. Following the brutal killing of her husband, the would-be sheriff of Independence, the determined Abigail must band together with an eclectic group of residents — like the charming criminal Hoyt Rawlins (Matt Barr) and trusted Apache adviser Calian (Justin Johnson Cortez) — and figure out who she can trust in exacting justice against Sheriff Tom Davidson (Greg Hovanessian), a hypocritical lawman with shady business dealings.

Season three episode one airs on October 6, 2022, and in a recent interview with TVLine, series star and executive producer Jared Padalecki confirmed we’ll find out what’s going on fairly quickly. “Certainly in the season three premiere, we’ll get a glimpse of just how much trouble Cord is in, if there’s any way for him to get out or if he’s gonna need help…and how help would even get to him or find him.”

With two seasons of success under its gun belt, Jared Padalecki’s contemporary drama Walker now births this 1800s-set prequel series exploring the Texas Ranger’s Lone Star State roots. But don’t expect a dusty tale of dysentery and unhappy home-steading. “We’re interested in a modern twist on [the classic Western],” says Anna Fricke, who executive produces Walker Independence with Padalecki and show creator Seamus Kevin Fahey. “Something unexpected and subversive.” Like, say, presenting the origin story from a female perspective? Brian Bowen Smith/The CW “That is why I was so attracted to this project,” raves Arrow’s Katherine McNamara. Abby Walker is a forward-thinking Bostonian whose “life goes up in flames” in the first scene: Her lawman husband is murdered on the trail to the burgeoning town of Independence, where he was to be the new sheriff. Rescued by a local Indigenous tribe, Abby makes her way there, and...

The three shows were the only pilots The CW had ordered this year. All three one-hour dramas feature a connection to “Supernatural.” Jensen Ackles narrates and executive produces “The Winchesters,” Jared Padalecki executive produces “Walker: Independence,” and “Gotham Knights” stars Misha Collins as Harvey Dent. “Gotham Knights” is also a new DC series for The CW after the network recently canceled “Batwoman,” “Legends of Tomorrow,” and “Naomi.”
In “Gotham Knights,” In the wake of Bruce Wayne’s murder, his rebellious adopted son (Oscar Morgan) forges an unlikely alliance with the children of Batman’s enemies when they are all framed for killing the Caped Crusader.
