 WALKER: INDEPENDENCE 

PERIOD SET SERIES AT CW

Well, if you do not know what to watch tonight, the spy has a suggestion for all you period set drama lovers: CW is launching this evening their new

The new series starts October 6th on CW

historical drama WALKER INDEPENDENCE a prequel spin-off of the Walker show that starred Jared Padalecki who is now executive producing with our blond god Matt Barr in the lead role. 

 

  SET IN THE LATE 

 1800s, an origin story of The CW’s current hit series “Walker,” it follows Abby Walker (Katherine McNamara), an affluent and tough minded Bostonian whose husband is murdered before her eyes while on their journey out West. After crossing paths with Calian (Justin Johnson Cortez), a curious Apache tracker, Abby arrives in the town of Independence, Texas, where she encounters diverse and eclectic residents running from their pasts, chasing their dreams, and keeping their own secrets, including Kate Carver (Katie Findlay), an idiosyncratic burlesque dancer with perhaps too keen an interest in Abby’s origins, and Kai (Lawrence Kao), a soulful Chinese immigrant who runs a local restaurant/laundry and offers Abby friendship without agenda. Abby also literally runs into Hoyt Rawlins (Matt Barr), a slippery rogue, thief, and con artist with a dented heart of gold who quickly eyes Abby as a mark, until she turns the tables on him. In seeking justice for her husband, Abby encounters Independence’s noble deputy sheriff, Augustus (Philemon Chambers), and his new boss, Sheriff Tom Davidson (Greg Hovanessian),  who she has reason to believe is a very bad man indeed. Abby and Hoyt soon find themselves precariously aligned, both seeking to uncover the truth about the identity of Abby’s husband’s killer, and vow to save Independence – a frontier boomtown where nothing is what it seems.Check out the trailer below and tell us what you think.
