Jared Padalecki<\/a><\/strong> is going from demon hunting to uh, perpetrator hunting in a Walker, Texas Ranger<\/em> reboot. Yes, that Walker, Texas Ranger<\/em>, the one that starred Chuck Norris<\/strong> for nine seasons.<\/p>\n

E! News has learned Padalecki is set to play the title character in the updated version Walker<\/em> that’s in development by CBS TV Studios. The Supernatural<\/em> star is also attached to executive produce alongside Anna Fricke<\/strong>, Dan Lin<\/strong>, Lindsey Libertore<\/strong> and Dan Spilo<\/strong>. No network is attached at this time.<\/p>\n

Padalecki, whose CW series Supernatural<\/em> is coming to an end in 2020 after 15 seasons, will play Cordell Walker, a widowed father of two after spending years undercover on a high-profile case. When he returns home to Austin, Texas, he finds there’s more work to be done. He’ll be paired with a female partner, as was the case in the original. That casting has not been announced.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

The new series will follow a modern-day Walker and Texas Rangers who have their own moral code and fight for what’s right, despite any rules that may get in their way.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

The original Walker, Texas Ranger<\/em> ran for nine seasons on CBS from 1993-2001. A TV movie followed in 2005.<\/p>\n

Before Supernatural<\/em>, Padalecki was known to legions of fans as Dean on Gilmore Girls<\/em>. Along with costars Jensen Ackles<\/a><\/strong> and Misha Collins<\/strong>, Padalecki decided season 15 of Supernatural<\/em> would be the last. Despite producers insisting it’s a true ending, Ackles hinted you haven’t seen the last of the Winchester brothers.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“I think they’ll continue to move forward, but this is just a long journey that I don’t think is ever going to be over. I think we’re just going to go away for a while. How long? I don’t know,” Ackles said at the 2019 Television Critics Association press tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Look I’m not ever ready to close doors or burn bridges, I think that’s foolish. Am I saying that there’s something in the works? No,” Ackles said when asked if something was in development already. “Am I saying that I’d be open having a conversation about this in the future? What’s the harm in that?”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Supernatural<\/em> returns Thursday, Oct. 10 at 8 p.m. on The CW.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
