Erster Teaser zum „Walker, Texas Ranger“-Reboot mit Jared Padalecki

Vermutlich gibt es dankbarere Wagnisse, als in die Fußstapfen von Übermensch Chuck Norris treten zu wollen, aber zumindest werden einem Gags in Hülle und Fülle sicher sein. „Supernatural“-Star Jared Padalecki wird, wie wir hier berichtet hatten, den Sheriffstern anlegen, der ihn zum „Walker, Texas Ranger“ macht. Also, fast, denn eigentlich wird er nur zum „Walker“, denn zur Unterscheidung und aus modernen Coolness-Gründen hat US-Sender CBS dem Serien-Reboot eine Titelverkürzung verpasst. UND einen ersten Teaser! Der zeigt wenig, lässt aber Padaleckis Stimme im Sheriff-Stil ertönen und offenbart, dass die Serie ab Frühjahr 2021 auf The CW zu sehen sein wird. Na denn!

„WALKER, a reimagining of the long-running series “Walker, Texas Ranger,” stars Jared Padalecki (“Supernatural”) as Cordell Walker, a widower and father of two with his own moral code, who returns home to Austin after being undercover for two years, only to discover there’s harder work to be done at home. He’ll attempt to reconnect with his creative and thoughtful son (Kale Culley, “Me, Myself and I”) and his headstrong, somewhat rebellious teenaged daughter (Violet Brinson, “Sharp Objects”) and navigate clashes with his family – an ADA brother (Keegan Allen, “Pretty Little Liars”) who stepped in during Walker’s absence, his perceptive mother (Molly Hagen, “Herman’s Head”) and his traditional rancher father (Mitch Pileggi, “The X-Files”). Walker’s former colleague is now his Ranger Captain, (Coby Bell, “The Game”). Walker finds unexpected common ground with his new partner (one of the first women in Texas Rangers’ history) played by Lindsey Morgan (“The 100”), while growing increasingly suspicious about the circumstances surrounding his wife’s death. The show also stars Jeff Pierre as Trey Barnett. WALKER is written and executive produced by Anna Fricke (“Being Human,” “Valor”), and executive produced by Dan Lin and Lindsay Liberatore and Jared Padalecki. WALKER is from CBS Television Studios in association with Rideback.“
