Walker fans can breathe a sigh of relief. The CW has ended the suspense and officially renewed the drama starring Jared Padalecki for a 13-episode fourth season.

The renewal news was delivered just two days prior to the season three finale. The third season wraps up on May 11, 2023 with episode 18, “It’s a Nice Day for a Ranger Wedding.”

According to The CW, Walker season three is the network’s most-watched linear show in total viewers. Still, given the current climate, a renewal order wasn’t a sure thing even with impressive ratings.

“Over the past three seasons, Walker has become the top performing series on The CW with a passionate fanbase and a fantastic cast and creative team led by Jared Padalecki, who has now been a leading man on the network for over twenty years,” stated Brad Schwartz, President of Entertainment, The CW Network. “As we build a great big new future for The CW, we are thrilled to be staying in business with our partners at CBS Studios and we cannot wait to have Walker back on the schedule.”

In addition to Jared Padalecki in the titular role, season three stars Ashley Reyes as Cassie Perez, Keegan Allen as Liam Walker, Mitch Pileggi as Bonham Walker, Molly Hagan as Abeline Walker, Violet Brinson as Stella Walker, and Kale Culley as August Walker. Coby Bell plays Captain Larry James, Jeff Pierre is Trey Barnett, and Odette Annable is Geri Broussard.

“I’m so excited and grateful to continue the Walker legacy for another season alongside our partners at CBS Studios and The CW,” commented Jared Padalecki. “We can’t wait to make Season 4 bigger and better than ever and to lasso even more fans into the Walker family. Let’s ride!”

The Season 3 Plot:

Walker, a reimagining of the long-running series “Walker, Texas Ranger,” stars Jared Padalecki as Cordell Walker, a widower and father of two with his own moral code, who returns home to Austin, TX, after being undercover for two years, only to discover there’s harder work to be done at home.

In the upcoming third season finale, it’s a big day for the Texas Rangers and the Walker clan as friends and family gather to celebrate a very special event.
