A new report indicates Walker: Independence season 2 hopes are dead after attempts to get the canceled CW series revived at a new home have failed.
Hopes for Walker: Independence season 2 have been dashed, as the series has failed to find a new home following its cancelation at The CW. A prequel to Walker set in the late 1800s, the series follows Abby Walker, a Bostonian who winds up in the small town of Independence, Texas after her husband's death. Walker: Independence was axed by The CW in May 2023, but there were hopes the show could still find a home elsewhere.
A report from TVLine indicates Walker: Independence season 2 will not be happening, as the series was unable to find a new home after The CW canceled it. Executive producer and Walker star Jared Padalecki hoped Walker: Independence season 2 could come to fruition, helping search for a way to revive the show. However, it seems the series will not be returning elsewhere despite Padalecki and his team's best efforts.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Future Of The Walker Franchise Explained Walker: Independence's cancelation is part of The CW's restructuring efforts following a buyout from Nexstar Media Group, which now owns 75% of the company. Other canceled series from The CW include The Winchesters, Kung Fu, and Two Sentence Horror Stories.
Now that Walker: Independence is officially not returning elsewhere, Abby's story will seemingly be left untold. However, the Walker franchise will still remain on The CW, with Walker getting renewed for season 4 in May 2023, around the same time Walker: Independence was canceled. Despite this continuation, Walker season 4 will only have 13 episodes, the shortest of any season of the show thus far.
The official death of Walker: Independence is unfortunate news for other canceled shows from The CW, like The Winchesters, which are also searching for new homes. However, in the case of Walker: Independence, it's possible Walker will find some way to resolve some of its storylines, even if the prequel series will not be continuing.
