Walker: Independence will not be returning for a second season. Per Deadline, attempts to find a new home for the Western drama have been unsuccessful following its cancellation by The CW.
Starring Katherine McNamara (Arrow, above), Matt Barr, Katie Findlay, Greg Hovanessian, Philemon Chambers, Justin Johnson Cortez, Lawrence Kao, and Gabriela Quezada, the series follows Abby Walker (McNamara) as she continues her journey out west after her husband is killed right in front of her as they traveled together. Her journey takes her to Independence, Texas.
Walker’s Jared Padalecki, an executive producer on the series, had said efforts to find a new home for Walker: Independence were “aggressively” underway and encouraged fans to rally for the show following the May cancellation.
To say I love this cast & crew like they’re my own family is an understatement. I’ve become so deeply invested not only in the story this series is telling but everybody making it come to life. Help these kinfolk of mine. Let’s folking go: #SaveWalkerIndependence pic.twitter.com/M1r4u9fiA8

Unfortunately, those efforts have been unsuccessful, and the series will stay cancelled. McNamara broke the news via Twitter.
Well folks, #WalkerIndependence may have bit the dust but the #WalkerLegacy lives on in the story we told, the memories we created, and the town we built. Thank you Abby Walker for walking in the tall grass so future Walkers can run. Your strength, tenacity, and refusal to fit… pic.twitter.com/eTP6fWkRPv

What do you think? Are you a fan of this canceled CW series? Did you want Walker: Independence to find a new home?
Its a shame Walker Independent will not be renewed. Good show-good acting and a really good writing. It will be missed. Hopefully, another network (Acorn TV) will see its worth.
Yes I definitely think Walker independent should find a new home maybe on a local station like channel 3, channel 10, channel 13, channel 40. It’s just as good as Dr Quinn Medicine Woman. We need some new westerns and this one was well written and very well acted. Fell in love and got to know all those characters and really wish they could continue.
Well all the TV networks are known for getting rid of the good shows and keeping the trash ??? Walker: Independence is just one of the AWESOME SHOWS SAD BUT TRUE ???
Excuse my language, but, crappy decision to cancel this show!!
Too many good shows cancelled. Yet, rubbish in my opinion is still flowing down the smelly pan.

Why can’t CBS or Paramount Plus pick Walker: Independence up for a second season?
Paramount Plus would be excellent. I watch Para. Plus more than any other network.
What a pity; I was thoroughly enjoying the show and the heart and soul that the cast brought to it.
They’ve could’ve moved it to Paramount Plus.
Such a pity
