Keegan Allen Joins The CW’s Walker, Texas Ranger Reboot, Walker
Keegan Allen has landed a new role. The young actor will be starring in the upcoming Walker, Texas Ranger reboot, Walker.
Joining Jared Padalecki and Lindsey Morgan, in this show about “Cordell Walker, a widower and father of two with his own moral code, who returns home to Austin after being undercover for two years, only to discover there’s harder work to be done at home. He’ll attempt to reconnect with his children, navigate clashes with his family, and find unexpected common ground with his new partner (Morgan) — one of the first women in Texas Rangers’ history — while growing increasingly suspicious about the circumstances surrounding his wife’s death.”
Variety reports that Keegan will play “…Liam Walker. Described as smart, slightly smug, but with a strong moral compass, Liam is Walker’s younger gay and conservative brother who has been recently promoted to assistant DA. Liam and Walker are close, but Liam gives his brother no shortage of tough love. Liam has always stayed close to home, often sacrificing his personal life in favor of his family duties. In Walker’s absence, he stepped up to take Walker’s kids under his wing. Liam’s close relationship with Walker’s son and daughter makes Walker slightly jealous.”
Walker has already been granted a series pickup by The CW, so expect to hear more details about the show over the next few months.
