Supernatural’s Jared Padalecki plays Cordell Walker, taking on the iconic role made famous by TV tough guy Chuck Norris in the 1990s. It remains true to the spirit of the original show, but this reboot tackles contemporary issues while telling the story of a man attempting to move on after his wife’s tragic death.

The dust has barely settled when season 2 kicks off. Walker’s partner Micki Ramirez (Lindsey Morgan) has accepted a dangerous assignment, going undercover with the Del Rio crime syndicate to find out who killed Texas DPA Stan Morrison. Meanwhile, a figure from Walker’s past brings back memories of a tragedy involving the Davidson family, of events that occurred on his ranch almost thirty years ago.

Returning cast members include The X-Files’ Mitch Pileggi, Cody Bell, Jeff Pierre, and Keegan Allen as Walker’s brother, while Odette Annable has been promoted to series regular as Geri Broussard – an old friend of Walker's and a potential love interest this season.
