Walker - The CW’s Most Watched Series Premiere In 5 Years

[Jean]

Ratings: The CW’s ‘Walker’ Stays North of 2 Million Viewers in 2nd Week

The CW’s “Walker” is still strolling along in Week 2, when the “Walker, Texas Ranger” reboot drew 2.1 million total viewers. That’s very good for the network. It's actually now in the running for the breakout hit as number 1 on the network, but that might change when Superman and Lois starts in under a month.


The show is also seeing a very good viewing audience for the over 35s. According to data, the over 50s viewing audience are also enjoying the reboot of Walker. The CW might finally have a real winner outside of its 18-35 target audience. 

That said, Walker gave The CW its second-largest audience since a December 2018 episode of Supergirl.

Good to hear the shows doing well still and has multiple aged ranged people watching it instead of one naturally.

Nice that this show has been so well received.

[Katie]

Really nice to see this show is doing so well. I'm expecting a second season pick-up in weeks soon.

Also nice to see the over 50s like Tim and Jean's age group is watching or even older.

[Tim]

Of course, we older posters remember the original show and were curious.

[Squad 51]

Yeah, even me! Gonna have to wait here.
