Supernatural fame Genevieve Padalecki is all set to star alongside real-life husband Jared Padalecki as his wife in CW’s upcoming reboot version of the series ‘Walker’. The upcoming crime drama show will serve as a reimage to the 1990s long-running series Walker, Texas Ranger which was created by Leslie Greif and Albert S Ruddy. Jared Padalecki will headline the cast by essaying the role of the main protagonist Cordell Walker, as reported by Variety.

Wife Genevieve will portray the onscreen role of his late wife, Emily and appear in brief flashbacks of his past. Just like the original version, the new show is reportedly based on family, moral values and rediscovering the common grounds.
