20 Most Hotly Anticipated New TV Shows Of 2021

20. Walker

Fresh off an incredible run on Supernatural, Jared Padalecki steps into another iconic role on The CW. This time, he tackles Cordell Walker in the upcoming Walker - which, if you hadn't already guessed from the name, is a reboot of the Chuck Norris classic Walker, Texas Ranger.

The show follows the titular character as he attempts to get on with his life following the death of his wife Emily (played by Padalecki's real-life wife Genevieve). However, being a Texas Ranger in the business of protecting people, he struggles with the fact that he wasn't able to protect the one person that meant the most to him.

We've seen a number of successful modern TV reboots that weathered some early 'But why?' friction from fans to enjoy rather successful runs (CBS' underrated MacGyver reboot being at the top of that list) so, with that in mind - and Padalecki in the lead - there's no reason to think that Walker won't follow in their footsteps.
