Television is full of reboots and even spinoffs of reboots. This week, The CW is set to roll out both. “Walker” is set to return for its third season on the network on Thursday, Oct. 6 at 8 p.m. ET, with Jared Padalecki once again donning the famed Texas Ranger’s cowboy hat. The Series premiere will be followed by the 1800s-set prequel series “Walker Independence,” which premieres at 9 p.m. ET, also on The CW. You can stream both series with a Subscription to YouTube TV.
How to Watch the “Walker” Season 3 Premiere and “Walker Independence” Series Premiere
“Walker” arrived in 2021 as a reboot of the classic Chuck Norris series “Walker, Texas Ranger,” and starred Jared Padalecki in the title role. The series, a frontier-based series featuring lots of men in hats in the age of “Yellowstone,” had one of the highest-rated premieres in the history of the network.
Cordell Walker, a widower and father of two with his own moral code, returns home to Austin after being undercover for two years, only to discover there’s harder work to be done at home.
Costarring, Lindsey Morgan, Molly Hagen, Mitch Pileggi and Odette Annable, the second season ended with a notable cliffhanger bound to keep fans anxiously awaiting the Season 3 return.
Also like “Yellowstone,” “Walker” will have a spinoff set in the 19th century. “Walker Independence,” is set in Texas in the 1800s, centering on a character named Abigail “Abby” Walker (played by Katherine McNamara). She is presumably an ancestor of the modern-day Walker, although it’s not clear how exactly.
