Renewed: Walker. Axed: Walker: Independence

It’s good news for Walker, and bad news for Walker.

Walker starring Jared Padalecki has been renewed for a 4th season by The CW.

“I’m so excited and grateful to continue the Walker legacy for another season alongside our partners at CBS Studios and The CW,” said star and executive producer Padalecki. “We can’t wait to make Season 4 bigger and better than ever and to lasso even more fans into the Walker family. Let’s ride!”

Padalecki plays Cordell Walker, in the reboot of Walker, Texas Ranger which starred Chuck Norris in the original series from 1993-2001.

The cast also includes Ashley Reyes, Keegan Allen, Mitch Pileggi, Molly Hagan, Violet Brinson, Kale Culley, Coby Bell, Jeff Pierre, and Odette Annable.

“Over the past three seasons, Walker has become the top performing series on The CW with a passionate fanbase and a fantastic cast and creative team led by Jared Padalecki, who has now been a leading man on the network for over twenty years,” said Brad Schwartz, president of entertainment for The CW. “As we build a great big new future for The CW, we are thrilled to be staying in business with our partners at CBS Studios and we cannot wait to have Walker back on the schedule.”

It screens in Australia on Stan.

But prequel series Walker: Independence, featuring Katherine McNamara and Justin Johnson Cortez, has been axed by The CW after just one season.

The cast also included Katie Findlay, Lawrence Kao, Matt Barr, Philemon Chambers, Greg Hovanessian, and Gabriela Quezada.
