The CW has officially cancelled "Walker" after four seasons, with the series finale scheduled for June 26. The show, which has been running since January 2021 and stars Jared Padalecki as Cordell Walker, will not be renewed for a fifth season. The decision follows Nexstar's acquisition of The CW in 2022, which included a shift towards more cost-effective programming. Despite its steady viewership, the action-drama reboot of the 1990s "Walker, Texas Ranger" will conclude its narrative this season. Padalecki expressed his gratitude to fans and the cast and crew in a heartfelt Instagram post.
