Walker: Independence – when is the release date?

The closure of Supernatural, which was a 15-year job for Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles on The CW, was not a reason to end the fruitful collaboration. In 2020, it was revealed that Jared would star in a new network show called Walker. The project is a remake of the iconic series Cool Walker, which made Chuck Norris famous and forever gave him the status of the coolest meme character on television.

The first season of the novelty was quite controversial, although the writers followed exactly the original, showing the lone ranger, father of two children, faced with lawlessness in his native Austin and decided to fight it in accordance with his own moral views. At its conclusion, representatives of the CW not only announced a sequel to the show but also announced a prequel. The release date for Walker: Independence is expected in 2023.

The plot in the original is set in Austin. The story’s protagonist is a Vietnam veteran, a Navy SEAL, and an expert in Eastern martial arts. Despite the fact that the action is set in our time, the man believes in the cowboy code and lives according to its morals. This translates into an implacable fight against local crime. The remake follows the original exactly, telling a similar story, and touching on themes of honor and family. As the story progresses, the hero also learns of some inconsistencies in the investigation of his wife’s death, forcing him to take it personally. The prequel of the series will take viewers back two centuries and unfold in the 19th century. The key character of the show will be a woman, who will play the role – is unknown. Release date – 2023.

It is known that Walker: Independence will shoot Anna Frikl, her forces created and Walker and Padalecki, and the actor himself serves as executive producer. The creators said that viewers will also see the actor on the screen, but how the authors will be able to move the character to two hundred years ago is still unclear. Work on the show began in March 2022 and at this stage is at the stage of writing the script, which deals with Seamus Fahey, who worked on the original in the early 90s. The release date for Walker: Independence will be in 2023.

The fact that the upcoming show is in the early stages of development has not stopped the authors from describing the overall canvass of the narrative. At the center of the story will be a woman named Abby Walker. She grew up in Boston in a wealthy and intelligent family. Together with her husband, she embarks on a trip out west, where their family is brutally attacked and the heroine’s lover is killed.
