WALKER Star Jared Padalecki Is Producing a Prequel Series Titled WALKER: INDEPENDENCE for The CW
Walker star Jared Padalecki is producing a new prequel series for The CW. Walker has achieved some big ratings for the network, so they are looking to build a Walker universe. The new series is titled Walker: Independence, and it will give us an origin story that’s set on the late 1800s.
The story follows an “affluent Bostonian named Abby Walker, whose husband is murdered in front of her while on their trek out West. Consumed by a need for vengeance, Abby crosses paths with Hoyt Rawlins, described as a ‘lovable rogue in search of a purpose’. The pair soon find themselves in Independence, Texas, where they encounter a diverse and eclectic cohort of citizens hiding from their demons and chasing their dreams, all while becoming agents of change themselves in the small town.”
The Walker series is actually a decent show, but this prequel sounds so much more interesting. I just love stories that are set in the Old West. Padalecki will executive produce, and it will be written by co-writers Seamus Fahey (American Gods) and Anna Fricke (Valor, Dynasty).
Fahey will also write the teleplay for Walker: Independence, and will continue to executive produce the flagship series.
