Jared Padalecki To Star In Texas Medical Drama From Anna Fricke In ‘Walker’ Reunion At CBS
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Walker star/executive producer Jared Padalecki has re-teamed with the CW series’ executive producer/showrunner Anna Fricke for a new drama project, which has been set up at CBS for development.
Like Walker, the untitled one-hour takes place in Padalecki’s home state of Texas, but instead of a ranger, he will now play a doctor.
