According to Deadline, the CW is developing a possible spin-off of “Walker”, entitled “Walker: Independence”.
The derivative series will take place in 1800, serving as a pre-sequence.
The plot will follow Abby Walker, “a wealthy Boston woman whose husband is murdered before her eyes on his journey west.” In her quest for revenge, Abby meets Hoyt Rawlins, a lovable thug in search of a goal. Abby and Hoyt’s journey takes them to Independence, Texas, where they meet several eclectic residents fleeing their own troubled past and chasing their dreams.
Jared Padalecki, who stars in the original production, will executive produce alongside Anna Fricke, Seamus Fahey, Dan Lin and Lindsey Liberatore.
Created by Anna Fricke, the series is a reboot of “Walker, Texas Ranger” (1993-2001).
