Walker: Independence at PaleyFest Fall TV Previews 2022
  Sep 19, 2022   admin   Walker: Independence

Stars and creators of The CW’s Walker: Independence (Seamus Kevin Fahey, Jared Padalecki, Katherine McNamara, Matt Barr, Katie Findlay, Greg Hovanessian, Philemon Chambers, Justin Johnson Cortez, Lawrence Kao, Gabriela Quezada) gather with moderator Damian Holbrook at PaleyFest Fall TV Previews 2022 to celebrate their show. Topics include: Padalecki’s initial hesitation at producing a spin-off to “Walker” (a reboot of the 1990s series “Walker, Texas Ranger”) that focused on his title character’s ancestors; putting a modern sensibility on the classic western by showcasing minority characters that were usually depicted as “sidekicks”; why Fahey wanted the story told from the heroine’s viewpoint; McNamara’s satisfaction in not making Abigail into “a damsel in distress”; Barr’s role being written off “Walker” and now brought back as the character’s forefather; and how cast members fared when attending the mandatory “cowboy camp.”
