Late May brought some sad news for fans of The CW series, "Walker." While it took a while for the final word to come down (so much so that sets were being broken down without the cast and crew knowing for sure whether or not they’d become one of the shows canceled and ending in 2024) the Jared Padalecki-starring series did get the ax after Season 4, and recently aired its (unplanned) series finale with a surprise CW icon for a guest star and a bit of a cliffhanger. Now, Padalecki has opened up about why his history with "Gilmore Girls" and "Supernatural" led him to think "Walker" wouldn’t be canceled.
The 2024 TV schedule has seen a lot of beloved shows get canceled over the past several weeks, and, unfortunately, by the time Jared Padalecki and the other good people at "Walker" were finally notified of their status, the Season 4 finale had already been shot and had to become the series finale. Most fans know that the actor has spent most of his career on The WB/CW, as he began by playing Rory’s first boyfriend, Dean, on "Gilmore Girls," and then went straight into "Supernatural," where he portrayed Sam Winchester for a whopping 15 seasons.
