It’s a reunion worth marking on your star charts, bringing together Padalecki and Anna Fricke, the mastermind behind Walker, both locked into deals with CBS Studios. If your inner astrologer is asking—why now?—consider this: the stars favor bold moves under Scorpio’s watch, especially when it’s about transformation and passion. Ready to follow this cosmic collaboration as it unfolds on your screens?
A drama project starring Jared Padalecki that’s in development at CBS is taking another step forward.
The drama, in which Padalecki would play a doctor serving patients in rural Texas, has opened a development writers room. Development rooms, as covered under the Writers Guild of America’s 2023 contract, have three or more writers (including a showrunner) working on scripts ahead of a series order. The room will be open for a minimum of 10 weeks, per the WGA contract.
The CBS project, first announced in January, reunites Padalecki and his Anna Fricke, who was the showrunner of Walker at The CW. The untitled drama comes from Walker producer CBS Studios, where Fricke has an overall deal and Padalecki has a first-look producing deal. The show is not yet targeted for any specifc season and is part of the network’s year-round approach to development.

Fricke is executive producing via her Pursued By a Bear company. Padalecki and Pursued By a Bear’s Laura Terry also exec produce.
Padalecki guest starred on three episodes of CBS’ Fire Country last season. He’s set to reunite with his Supernatural co-stars Jensen Ackles and Misha Collins on the final season of The Boys on Prime Video in 2026.
