About Walker
Despite rather mixed critical reception, Walker was a popular hit in the ratings, and one of the biggest premieres for The CW. Perhaps drawn by the popularity of the original, or simply by that of its leading man. Jared Padalecki must have signed a lifetime contract with The CW–and it’s treating him well. After multiple years on the WB/CW’s Gilmore Girls, he racked up 16 seasons on the beloved fan-favorite Supernatural. The massive finale of Supernatural aired only two months before the premiere of Walker, where he is haunted by a different kind of ghost. As a troubled Walker deals with the tragic loss of his wife and estrangement from his daughter, he is back on the job and trying to keep his focus on catching the bad guys.
