Walker It is one of the few scripted series from the CW’s pre-Nexstar days that has had a place in the schedule in the network’s current incarnation.

In an interview with Hollywood Reporter During introductions last week, CW Entertainment President Brad Schwartz said the network was still negotiating WalkerProducers about a potential fifth season, noting that budgets will be a factor: “[T]“Last year, we renegotiated that offer and they were able to do it a little more efficiently,” he said. “I think if everyone comes back together, and there’s a lot of people who have a lot of decisions to make, and we have budgets that we have to stick to. We’ll see if this show works, but it’s definitely an active conversation.”

Walker It is a remake of the 90s series Walker, Texas Ranger, which starred Chuck Norris as the main character. Padalecki plays Cordell Walker, who at the beginning of the series must adjust to life at home after a long period spent undercover.
