You’re probably seeing some stories about The CW published today. That’s because it is the youngest-skewing broadcast network’s Media Day, when the channel first presented freshman series “Walker” and the
new-look “Batwoman” to media.
“Walker” is a reboot of Chuck Norris’ (mostly) ’90s show “Walker, Texas Ranger.” While the original intellectual property may not be very familiar to the youthful CW viewers, the face of the new “Walker,” Jared Padalecki, sure is.
Padalecki starred in The CW’s “Supernatural” from 2005 to 2020. Just how long of a tenure is that? It technically even predates The CW itself — “Supernatural” actually debuted on the channel when it was still called The WB (before its merger with UPN).
