In 2020, The CW brought the successful Supernatural TV show to a close after 15 seasons. Smartly, the network decided to keep one of the stars on the payroll to star in a reboot of Walker, Texas Ranger. The new Walker show had a very positive launch but the ratings fell quite a bit over the course of the season. Will the numbers continue to fall in year two? Could Walker be cancelled or is it almost sure to be renewed for season three? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
An action series, the Walker TV show stars Jared Padalecki, Lindsey Morgan, Molly Hagan, Keegan Allen, Violet Brinson, Kale Culley, Coby Bell, Jeff Pierre, Mitch Pileggi, and Odette Annable with Dave Annable recurring. The story begins with Texas Ranger Cordell Walker (Padalecki), a widower and father with his own moral code, as he returns home to Austin, Texas after being undercover for nearly a year. He tries to reconnect with his son August (Culley) and daughter Stella (Brinson), as well as his brother Liam (Allen) and parents Abeline (Hagan) and Bonham (Pileggi). At work, Walker’s former colleague Larry James (Bell) is now his Ranger Captain and Walker has a new partner, Micki Ramirez (Morgan), one of the first women in Texas Rangers’ history.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
For comparisons: Season one of Walker on The CW averaged a 0.20 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.33 million viewers in the live+same day ratings.
Note: These are the final national ratings, including all live+same day viewing and DVR playback (through 3:00 AM). Early fast affiliate ratings (estimates) are indicated with an “*”. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but the higher-rated series are typically renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.
What do you think? Do you like the Walker TV series on The CW? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
*3/22/22 update: Walker has been renewed for a third season on The CW.
If you are old enough to have seen Chuck Norris in Texas Ranger, then this is the worst remake. I loved Supernatural. This is almost an insult to the original Texas Ranger.
Almost…is
When I lost Supernatural I was devasted okay I love Walker and hope and pray it stays on the air we need more shows like this and more shows or at least another series of a kinda like Supernatural I the sure do miss that one. Go Jarad congrates on Walker love it hope you read my answer and Please say hi to Jen for me. You guys are great love the kids to. I am a grandma and miss mine.
Terrible show, padalecki is no Texas ranger, his partner is great but not enough for me to continue to watch
Love this show. Please keep it.
Love this show. It has me hooked from the beginning. I watched all of season 1 this weekend and started season 2 on Sunday. I have totally caught up. I would not miss a single episode. I am attached to all the characters.
Lose the show. This was never about “Walker.” It was “re-imagined” as “Ramirez Texas Ranger” but they didn’t have the testicles to call it that. Instead, they used “Walker” to troll an existing fan base and give middle-aged women a thrill every time Padelecki takes off his shirt. The original Cordell Walker was not a borderline alcoholic with an unstable emotional compass. This show is a travesty.
Love this show
Love the show please keep it on.
cool series
When the lead female actor (second on the call sheets) decides to leave a show, “to spend more time with her family” there is something rotten in the state of Demark to quote Shakespeare. Time to cancel this garbage vanity project.
I actually really like Walker. I hope it stays on. Definitely like it better than the original.
Big Yikes!!
time to let go
keep it on
