We’ll be seeing a lot more of Odette Annable on Walker in season two!

The hit new CW series is still in it’s first season, but it was just revealed this week that the actress has been promoted to a full time, series regular role, according to Deadline.

Odette plays Geri, who is the bartender at a local bar called the Side Step, and is described as “an old friend of Walker and his late wife, Emily, who hasn’t seen Walker since Emily’s funeral. It’s clear that she and Walker have a history — a friendship and a shared tragedy.”

Without giving too much away if you’re not all caught up, but in the last episode aired, it looks like there might be some sparks lighting up for Geri and Cordell (Jared Padalecki)!

Walker was a smash hit when it first premiered, and not only received an early season two pickup, but it also received five additional episodes, bringing it’s season one total to 18.

The show has been on a brief hiatus the past couple of weeks, but will return with an all new episode next Thursday (May 6) at 8pm on The CW.

In case you missed it, see what Jared Padalecki shared that he and his wife Genevieve sometimes do when they both have to work on the show on the same day.

Jared and Genevieve Padalecki are working together fairly regularly these days!

The 38-year-old actor stars on Walker as Cordell Walker, while his 40-year-old wife has a recurring role as his character’s late wife.

Genevieve‘s Emily often appears in sort of a ghost like capacity, as well as flashbacks, and will talk to Cordell and offer advice. Season one centers around Cordell trying to find who killed his wife and bring them to justice.

With the duo living and working together in Texas, Jared says that it has been “pretty magical” and reveals what they sometimes do to have some alone time without their kids.

“During Covid times my kids cannot come to set…but I can have my wife there because she’s on the show as well. It’s date day!” he shared on The Talk. “I’ll admit there have been a few times where we’ve been on set and it will be 5pm and we’re both wrapped, [we say] let’s tell the babysitter we’re still filming and let’s go get some sushi.”

If you missed it, Walker was one of many CW shows that received early renewals!

Be sure to also get to know more about Jared and Genevieve‘s on screen son Kale Culley with these fun facts…

Kale Culley is shining bright on The CW’s Walker!

The young actor stars on the hit series as August Walker, the 14-year-old son to Jared Padelecki‘s Cordell Walker.

August is described as “sweet, sincere, and quietly smart,” and “rabidly consumes information and is eager to learn any skill that will help, please and impress his family. Unlike his sister, he does not want to cause a stir. In other words, a time bomb.”

Kale has previously been seen on Sydney To The Max, Henry Danger, black-ish, Fresh Off The Boat and NCIS.

Walker has been a smash hit for The CW and was the most watched series premiere in five years. It also scored an early season two renewal!

In tonight’s all new episode, a tornado touches down in Austin and it’s all hands on deck to keep the kids and community safe. Walker (Padalecki), Micki (Lindsey Morgan) and Trey (Jeff Pierre) rush to the school where Stella (Violet Brinson), August (Culley) and Ruby (Madelyn Kientz) are at a school dance.

Bonham (Mitch Pileggi) and Abeline (Molly Hagan) stop at a store for supplies where old memories resurface and the two are forced to discuss their marriage. Meanwhile, Liam (Keegan Allen) and Bret (Alex Landi) get trapped in an elevator and everything Liam has been carrying on his shoulders gets the best of him and he makes a rash decision.

The CW is issuing early renewals to many of it’s series!

The network just announced that 12 shows will be back for new seasons, according to Variety.

Among the early renewals include new show Walker, as well as Riverdale, The Flash, Legacies, Batwoman, Charmed, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Nancy Drew, Roswell, New Mexico, In The Dark, Dynasty, and All American.

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Roswell, New Mexico, In The Dark and Dynasty have yet to premiere their new seasons on the network.

“Though we’re just a few weeks into the new season, we wanted to get a strategic head start on next season with these early renewals, which allows our production teams to start laying out story arcs and hiring staff, and at the same time, continues to provide us with a strong, stable schedule to build on for next season,” CW President Mark Pedowitz said in a statement.

“As The CW’s 2020-2021 season kicks into high gear, we are thrilled creatively with the direction of our first new shows out of the gate, Walker and Superman & Lois, that we wanted to order the additional episodes to complete their first seasons, and we are particularly pleased with the huge success of the launch of Walker, which debuted as our most watched series premiere in 5 years.”

The CW has also ordered five more episodes for Walker‘s current first season, and two more episodes of Superman & Lois, which premieres later this month.

Jared Padalecki opens up about his new show Walker!

The 38-year-old stars as the title character, Cordell Walker, in the reimagined version of the original Walker, Texas Ranger series.

Ahead of the series premiere, Jared dished on the difference between the two – mainly that the new show is not what people would assume it would be.

“This Walker is not a cop show as people would probably assume it might be because of the original. This Walker is more of a family drama, it’s more about human experience than it is about Walker, Texas Ranger wheel-kicking people walking down the street,” he told ET. “He’s a guy bound by duty but who has a very real connection to those around him and sees people as people.”

The new show will however, tackle some current issues going on in the US.

“We confront head-on a lot of issues we’re dealing with. The way people of color are treated and the way minorities in general are treated, not only just with law enforcement but with school and with politics and with industry in general. I think a lot of what we try to do in the show is give voice to the voiceless in the best way that we can,” Jared shared.

“We’re still trying to entertain and we can’t just be a dark, dramatic show that makes people sad. We want to make people laugh and cry and think… We’re a very different world — a world of a lot more accountability and a world where we really have to deal with issues that have been ignored for so long,” he added.

The 31-year-old former Pretty Little Liars actor stars as Cordell Walker’s (Jared Padalecki) younger, gay, conservative brother William, aka Liam.

Also featured in new stills from the premiere include Cordell, Walker’s parents – Abeline Walker (Molly Hagan) and Bonham Walker (Mitch Pileggi), his kids August Walker (Kale Culley) and Stella Walker (Violet Brinson), late wife Emily Walker (Genevieve Padalecki), as well as Trey Barrett (Jeff Pierre), Micki Ramirez (Lindsey Morgan), and Captain Larry James (Coby Bell).

Here’s a synopsis for the premiere episode: Texas Ranger Cordell Walker (J Padalecki), a widower and father of two with his own moral code, returns home to Austin, TX, after being undercover for two years, only to discover there’s harder work to be done at home.

As Walker attempts to reconnect with his creative and thoughtful son August (Culley) and his headstrong, somewhat rebellious teenaged daughter Stella (Brinson), he finds that he needs to navigate clashes with his family – Liam (Allen), Walker’s ADA brother who stepped in during Walker’s absence, his perceptive mother Abeline (Hagen) and his traditional rancher father Bonham (Pileggi).

Walker’s former colleague, Larry James (Bell), is now his Ranger Captain. And Walker finds unexpected common ground with his new partner Micki Ramirez (Morgan), one of the first women in Texas Rangers’ history while growing increasingly suspicious about the circumstances surrounding his wife’s death (G Padalecki).

Walker will premiere on Thursday, January 21st at 8pm ET/PT. Watch the trailer here!
