Following The CW’s merger, the way forward for many exhibits on the community are unknown, and several other are ending after this present broadcast season. Freshman sequence Walker: Independence is likely one of the sequence that has an unknown future, and contemplating many CW exhibits have been canceled this 12 months, issues do not look nice. Nevertheless, that isn’t stopping showrunner Seamus Kevin Fahey from excited about concepts for Season 2 and the way it might pay homage to Supernatural.
Following the Season 1 finale of Walker: Independence, it will be plain impolite to not renew it, for my part, however as of now, it’s nonetheless onerous to foretell whether or not will probably be one of many fortunate exhibits. Even so, Seamus Kevin Fahey lately teased a doable storyline to TVLine for the potential upcoming season that may pay homage to EP Jared Padalecki’s hit present Supernatural and the fan-favorite automobile:
I had a variety of concepts early on of, like, a whole episode from the viewpoint of a horse, as form of an homage to Supernatural and the automobile. I’m an enormous movie geek, and there’s this Robert Bresson film Au Hasard Balthazar, a whole film from the viewpoint of a mule. So I feel it will be fascinating to tug off, at the least for an act — and it doesn’t get extra Western than that.
Followers of Supernatural know precisely what episode Fahey is speaking about. In Season 11, there was an episode appropriately titled “Child” that fully happened contained in the ’67 Chevy Impala. Whereas it will be a tad completely different having an episode happen on the highest of a horse, getting that new perspective, and maybe even getting data round Independence that we wouldn’t have in any other case, can be fascinating. Perhaps we’d get Padalecki to cameo once more too?
That being mentioned, it will be intriguing to see if there are another Supernatural homages or references if we get one other season of Walker: Independence. With Jared Padalecki being an government producer on the Walker prequel, it’s fairly doable. Since Mark Sheppard is on Independence, it wouldn’t be shocking if we find yourself getting a reference or two a couple of sure demon by the identify of Crowley. We already obtained some Supernatural homages on Walker, between Jensen Ackles directing an episode and Kansas performing, so who is aware of what might occur. We’ll simply have to attend and see till WIndy is confirmed for a second season, hopefully.
In the meantime, with a Supernatural homage doubtlessly on the way in which, followers may in all probability count on extra Walker Easter Eggs in Independence. Padalecki beforehand revealed his hopes to maintain the “Walker-verse” thriving with Easter Eggs, and he mentioned that he has enjoyable concepts for it. So whether or not that’s a flashback or reference to the previous on Walker or a glance into the long run on Independence, it is going to certainly be one thing to sit up for.
It is onerous to inform if Walker: Independence will seem on the 2023 TV schedule once more, particularly with the way in which issues are going at The CW. For the reason that community had a “Pink Marriage ceremony” of cancellations final 12 months, it’s very doable the identical factor occurs once more. Fingers crossed Independence will get renewed as a result of now I must see the “Child” episode within the type of a horse.
