The CW is adding a "Walker, Texas Ranger" reboot to its upcoming slate, and "Supernatural" star Jared Padalecki is set to star, according to new reports.

Per The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline, the updated version -- to be called "Walker" -- will feature Padalecki, 37, as Cordell Walker, a widowed father of two who returns home to Austin, Texas, after years undercover. Luckily, there's plenty for him to do in Austin.

The series will reportedly also feature a female lead in the form of Walker's partner. Other plotlines will include Walker reconnecting with his kids, clashing with his conservative family and investigating his wife's death.
