WALKER

Jared Padalecki’s impressive update on the classic Chuck Norris action series rides into Season 2 with Texas Ranger Cordell Walker, having solved the murder of his wife (Genevieve Padalecki, the actor’s real-life spouse), facing a new mystery that’s just as close to home. Here, he shares intel on the case— and on a Supernatural reunion with Jensen Ackles

Where do we begin in Season 2?

We pick up a couple months after the finale, and Cordell’s been home, spending a lot of time with his brother, Liam [Keegan Allen], his son and daughter [Kale Culley and Violet Brinson] and his parents [Molly Hagan and Mitch Pileggi]. We’re going to see a lot more of the personal and family side of the Walkers this season.

Now that Emily’s death is resolved, does that mean no more Gen?
