'Walker' Fans Are in Their Feels Following Premature Series Finale

'Walker' was canceled by The CW after four seasons.

By Megan Behnke

Jared Padalecki's Walker was canceled last month, and the series finale officially aired. The finale ended on a cliffhanger that involved James Van Der Beek playing the Walkers' new neighbor, and he was very likely going to be a big part of Season 5. Padalecki ripped into The CW's new management over how the cancellation was handled, and fans are feeling a lot of emotions.

Many people took to X (formerly known as Twitter) and Reddit after the series finale aired. Plenty of fans were frustrated, like Padalecki, over the cancellation, pointing out that there was still so much more story to tell. Others were thankful to the cast and crew and were happy that Walker happened in the first place. Overall, though, the fandom is as emotional as ever.

One fan said, "My sadness over Walker being cancelled was only heightened by knowing we were denied a season featuring Dawson as a cult leader living nextdoor to the Walkers!" Another wrote, "They showed the last episode of Walker tonight and the cliffhanger ending for the following season we will never get to see was James Van Der Beek as their neighbor next season. The profanity at the network that came out of my mouth when it ended. SCREW YOU, CW!!"
