Western drama that's perfect for Yellowstone fans returns for a new season

Walker season 4 premieres on The CW tonight and it’s the perfect show for Yellowstone fans, but where is the series streaming?

It’s been over a year since season 5 part 1 of Yellowstone wrapped, leaving audiences desperately waiting for new episodes. Part 2 is set to premiere on Sunday, November 10th 2024, bringing the iconic western drama to a close. It’s still a mighty long time to wait, but if you’re a fan of the genre, Walker is a TV series you cannot afford to sleep on, and season 4 is one you no longer have to wait for…

Walker season 4 arrives on The CW

Walker season 4 starts premiering on The CW on Wednesday, April 3rd at 8 pm ET/PT. New episodes arrive each Wednesday but can be streamed on The CW app and website the day after.

Developed by Anna Fricke, Walker is an American western crime drama that serves as a reboot of the 1990s series Walker, Texas Ranger.

Jared Padalecki (star of Supernatural) plays Cordell Walker, a highly resourceful Texas Ranger who ventures back home following work on an undercover assignment. He was on the case for two years, but back in Austin with his two children, the widower quickly discovers there’s plenty of crime for him to tackle in his very own town.

There are parallels between Walker and Yellowstone, with stylistic and tonal similarities sure to persuade fans of the Taylor Sheridan series after just a few episodes to race through its seasons. You even have Dave Annable in the cast, who played Lee Dutton on Yellowstone. However, Walker still sets itself apart with its own identity.

If you’re yet to dive in and need to catch up, the first three seasons of Walker are available to stream on Max.
