More about Walker: Independence

Walker: Independence is a Western drama show that is a prequel to the television series Walker. It premiered on October 6, 2022. The series is slated for a 10-episode run, and fans can't wait to see what the upcoming episodes have in store for them.

The synopsis for the show reads:

"Set in the late 1800s, an origin story of the series 'Walker,' 'Walker Independence' follows Abby Walker, an affluent and tough-minded Bostonian whose husband is murdered before her eyes while on their journey out West. 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."

It continues:

"Abby runs into Hoyt Rawlins, 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 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."

The upcoming episode of Walker: Independence will premiere on January 12, 2023, on The CW.
