Does the 'Walker' prequel 'Walker: Independence' have enough of a following to warrant a Season 2? Here's what we know concerning the display's fate.

Lately it sort of feels like the whole thing is coming up prequels. Popular presentations like Yellowstone and Supernatural have each dipped into the past so as to explain the origins of characters fans have come to understand and love.
And whilst The CW's Walker has handiest been around for 3 seasons, other people have already gotten a style of how Walker got here to be in Walker: Independence. The display simply completed Season 1 and we're dying to grasp if we will be heading west once more with a Season 2. Let's hope so!
Are we getting a Season 2 of 'Walker: Independence'?
We have not begun to hear about a Season 2 of Walker: Independence however as of the time of this writing, the Season 1 finale simply dropped. It's nonetheless a bit early for a renewal announcement. Unfortunately, we do know that Walker was renewed for a 2nd season a mere month after the premiere, in line with Deadline. But, we suspect this has something to do with the star of the show.

Jared Padalecki was entering into the titular position of Walker a mere two months after Supernatural ended. The wildly in style paranormal drama finished after a staggering 15 seasons and it stands to reason why fans were not able to mention good-bye to Sam Winchester just yet. If fans are as invested in Walker: Independence as they're in Walker, we will probably get another season.
We know the 'Walker: Independence' showrunner is hoping for a Season 2.
Naturally a display's renewal is in keeping with greater than its scores, no matter those imply these days. TVLine in point of fact dug into some behind-the-scenes strikes, which might shake issues up for Walker: Independence as well as a ton of different shows on The CW slate. "In August 2022, local-TV massive Nexstar Media Group acquired majority ownership of The CW, and then network boss Mark Pedowitz exited and was replaced by TV executive-turned-venture capitalist Dennis Miller." If you're questioning what this has to do with Walker: Independence, we are getting to that!
The shiny new pros from Nexstar plan on transferring their focal point to "older viewers" and any programming that may not cost a fortune. Now, this might not sound like Walker: Independence however CEO Perry Sook said that "there may be a couple of shows that distinguish themselves this year that we want to hold over to next year."

— Cortney (@CortSquee) March 3, 2023Walker Independence showrunner Seamus Kevin Fahey is preserving onto the hope that the new sequence falls under that umbrella. "It’s been an interesting time. It’s been an interesting past couple months," he told TVLine. "What’s going on in town, there’s just a lot of reinvention and restructuring, and so we’re waiting still for the dust to settle a little bit [to] figure out where we really stand."
Kevin mentioned that CBS Studios has their back as well as the fans, many of whom imagine it their favorite show. "It’s still coming out of a fog of speculation to figure out [if], hopefully, we have a home," he said. Walker: Independence is a "great show to pair up with Walker mothership. I think there’s still a lot of opportunity to feed off each other, work in a lot more Easter eggs and crossovers and stuff like that."
At the tip of the day, Kevin and the crew are doing as much as they can with what they know. "We just all want to keep telling these stories. Everyone’s just anxious to get back to it. Mentally, that’s where we’re at: hoping for the best, planning for the worst, and just honestly happy with what we’ve done and hoping for more."
