Walker Prequel Show Images Reveal First Look At Abby Walker
The first images from The CW's prequel series Walker: Independence have arrived, showing off new characters including Abby Walker. Walker, which stars Jared Padalecki and premiered its first season on The CW on January 21, 2021, is a reboot of the popular Chuck Norris series Walker, Texas Ranger, which ran on CBS from 1993 to 2001. The series follows Walker, a widower ranger who returns to his hometown after a year undercover and begins to investigate the death of his wife. The series also stars Molly Hagan, Keegan Allen, Violet Brinson, Kale Culley, Coby Bell, Jeff Pierre, and Padalecki's former Supernatural co-star Mitch Pileggi.
Even though it has only been on the air for two seasons, Walker has been a solid success for The CW, even surviving their recent purge where they canceled a heap of their reboot series including Charmed, Dynasty, and Roswell, New Mexico. In addition to season 3, which is scheduled to return on Thursday nights this Fall, the show will air alongside the prequel Walker: Independence, which is being executive produced by Padalecki. The series will be taking place in Independence, Texas, in the 1800s, with Shadowhunters and Arrow star Katherine McNamara set to play Abby Walker, the ancestor of Padalecki's character Cordell Walker.
Per KSite TV, The CW just released three official first-look images from the Walker: Independence pilot. The first shows Justin Johnson Cortez on horseback as Calian, flanked by more riders ready for battle. The second depicts a full look at McNamara in period costume in the middle of Independence's main road. The third and final shot shares a closer look at Hatfields & McCoys' Matt Barr as Hoyt, also on the main road and donning full gunslinger gear. Check out the photos below:
These three characters will form the backbone of season 1 of the series. The story will follow Abby as she escapes to Independence after witnessing her husband's murder. She attempts to rally and seek revenge, finding herself allied with Hoyt while they attempt to navigate the world of Independence, where every resident seems to be harboring a dark secret. So far, no further details are known about Calian, though it seems he will not be on the same side as Hoyt and Abby, at least at first.
Walker: Independence will be airing back-to-back with Walker season 3 in the Fall 2022 season, so fans will get a double helping of Western mayhem every week. These images show how different Independence is going to be from Walker, at least in setting and character. However, the tone of the series is likely going to blend well with its predecessor.
