Walker: Independence will not be returning for a second season. Per Deadline, attempts to find a new home for the Western drama have been unsuccessful following its cancellation by The CW.
Starring Katherine McNamara (Arrow, above), Matt Barr, Katie Findlay, Greg Hovanessian, Philemon Chambers, Justin Johnson Cortez, Lawrence Kao, and Gabriela Quezada, the series follows Abby Walker (McNamara) as she continues her journey out west after her husband is killed right in front of her as they traveled together. Her journey takes her to Independence, Texas.
Walker’s Jared Padalecki, an executive producer on the series, had said efforts to find a new home for Walker: Independence were “aggressively” underway and encouraged fans to rally for the show following the May cancellation.
To say I love this cast & crew like they’re my own family is an understatement. I’ve become so deeply invested not only in the story this series is telling but everybody making it come to life. Help these kinfolk of mine. Let’s folking go: #SaveWalkerIndependence pic.twitter.com/M1r4u9fiA8

Unfortunately, those efforts have been unsuccessful, and the series will stay cancelled. McNamara broke the news via Twitter.
Well folks, #WalkerIndependence may have bit the dust but the #WalkerLegacy lives on in the story we told, the memories we created, and the town we built. Thank you Abby Walker for walking in the tall grass so future Walkers can run. Your strength, tenacity, and refusal to fit… pic.twitter.com/eTP6fWkRPv
