Supernatural’s Jared Padalecki plays Cordell Walker, taking on the iconic role made famous by TV tough guy Chuck Norris in the 1990s. It remains true to the spirit of the original show, but this reboot tackles contemporary issues while telling the story of a man attempting to move on after his wife’s tragic death.

The dust has barely settled when season 2 kicks off. Walker’s partner Micki Ramirez (Lindsey Morgan) has accepted a dangerous assignment, going undercover with the Del Rio crime syndicate to find out who killed Texas DPA Stan Morrison. Meanwhile, a figure from Walker’s past brings back memories of a tragedy involving the Davidson family, of events that occurred on his ranch almost thirty years ago.

Returning cast members include The X-Files’ Mitch Pileggi, Cody Bell, Jeff Pierre, and Keegan Allen as Walker’s brother, while Odette Annable has been promoted to series regular as Geri Broussard – an old friend of Walker's and a potential love interest this season.

For cord cutters, the good news is that it's 100% FREE to watch Walker online via The CW website. You will have to wait a week for the latest episode to drop, but it means you can watch without registering – just press play if you're located in the US and voila!

If you can't wait to be reunited with Cordell Walker and friends, you can stream The CW programming live as part of an IPTV service. Of the many options, we’d recommend FuboTV as, in addition to offering The CW as part of its core package, it includes over a 100 other channels. Plus, you can enjoy a 1-week free trial first – meaning it's possible to watch Walker online absolutely free. Should you like what you see and decide to keep it, the cable replacement service costs $64.99 per month thereafter.

Does Walker season 2 have a UK release date?

Unfortunately, Walker won’t be riding into the UK anytime soon. Channel 4 usually airs content from The CW, but so far neither season 1 or 2 have been picked up for broadcast or streaming in the UK.

The only option is to use a fantastic VPN as described above, then set your location back to your country of residence where the show is broadcasting, and go from there.

The situation looks better on the other side of the world. New episodes of Walker season 2 will be added to Stan’s streaming library every week from Friday October 29. Not acquainted with the show? Then you’re also in luck, because every episode from season 1 – all 18 of them – are here to binge.

Stan offers three different tiers: Stan Basic, Stan Standard and Stan Premium, with the big difference being 4K is only available via the $17 per month Premium plan.

If you don't mind watching Walker in 1080p then the Basic plan for $10 per month looks the better bet. Stan is currently offering a 30 day free trial so you can watch a large chunk of Walker season 2 without potentially paying a penny.

If you happen to be abroad and are worried that geo-blocking will stop you from watching Walker like you normally would back home, don't worry - just use a VPN to point yourself back to Australia and you'll be able to stream as usual.
