Jared Padalecki as Cordell Walker looks concerned in a scene from emWalker/em.

This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available. Actor Jared Padalecki opens up about Walker’s cancellation and the recent changes to the CW network’s strategy. Padalecki plays the titular character on the CW series, which began its run in 2021. Last month, it was announced that Walker was cancelled and would be ending its run after season 4.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Speaking with Variety, Padalecki discusses his reaction to Walker’s cancellation and the CW’s resultant changes. Check out the full quote from Padalecki below: Yeah. I talked with the head of CBS and the head of Nexstar/CW, I talked with the other on “Walker,” and I think it was a multivariate kind of issue. My understanding is — and again, this is just what I’m told — that Nexstar is going in a different direction with The CW. I mean, they have an hour of “Trivial Pursuit” and an hour of “Scrabble” coming up.

I feel like The CW that I was a part of last year is not The CW that I was a part of under Mark Pedowitz for that entire, almost 20-year stretch. They’re just changing the network around, where it’s not really going to be a TV network as much as it’s going to be, “Here’s something fun for an hour that you’ll never watch again, but hopefully you watch it. And it’s cheap!” And I hate to say that, but I’m just being honest. I mean, fuck it. They can’t fire me again. I’m just being brutally honest.
