Jared Padalecki Offers First Look at New Show 'Walker'

Jared Padalecki is hoping fans follow him to Walker!

The actor will be starring as the title character in the new, upcoming series at The CW.

A new video was recently released of Jared, with a little peek as to what he’ll be looking like in the new show.

“Hey y’all. This is Jared Padalecki. This January, only on The CW, we’ll be going from the Winchester family to the Walker family,” he says. “The family I’d like most to come along is you, my CW family. Can’t wait for you to join me here in Texas.”

The new show is a reimagining of the long-running series Walker, Texas Ranger, and follows Jared as Cordell Walker, a widower and father of two with his own moral code, who returns home to Austin after being undercover for two years, only to discover there’s harder work to be done at home.

He’ll attempt to reconnect with his creative and thoughtful son (Kale Culley) and his headstrong, somewhat rebellious teenaged daughter (Violet Brinson) and navigate clashes with his family – an ADA brother (Keegan Allen) who stepped in during Walker’s absence, his perceptive mother (Molly Hagen) and his traditional rancher father (Mitch Pileggi).

Walker’s former colleague is now his Ranger Captain, (Coby Bell). Walker finds unexpected common ground with his new partner (one of the first women in Texas Rangers’ history) played by Lindsey Morgan, while growing increasingly suspicious about the circumstances surrounding his wife’s death.

Also starring in the show include Jared‘s wife Genevieve in a recurring role, Odette Annable and Jeff Pierre.
