This reimagining of the long-running series Walker, Texas Ranger stars Jared Padalecki as Cordell Walker, a widower and father with his own moral code. Upon returning home to Austin, Texas after being undercover for nearly a year, he discovers there's harder work to be done at home as he attempts to reconnect with his creative and thoughtful son, August and his headstrong, somewhat rebellious teenaged daughter, Stella. At work, Walker's former colleague, Larry James, is now his Ranger Captain and both men need time to adjust to their new dynamic. Walker finds unexpected common ground with his new partner, Micki Ramirez (one of the first women in Texas Rangers' history). The intense first season closely follows Walker as he takes on new challenges while growing increasingly suspicious about the circumstances surrounding his wife's death.
