Walker Independence now has Abigail Walker in residence. The Walker Western prequel’s series premiere aired on The CW on Thursday, October 6, and starred Katherine McNamara (Arrow), Matt Barr (Walker, who was playing Hoyt Rawlins again but this time he was several hundred years older), Justin Johnson Cortez, Katie Findlay, Lawrence Kao, Philemon Chambers, and others.

The pilot undoubtedly demonstrated that the cast’s claim that their show was “not your mama’s Western” was accurate.

The CW’s newest drama has a diverse cast that is tasked with telling the stories of the varied people who lived in the American West in the late 1800s while maintaining the aesthetic of a classic Western. Every person Abby encounters in this new town, according to McNamara, has something they’re trying to escape.

It appears that Abby does as well, given the fresh information about her husband’s murder that was uncovered in the series premiere.

In this section, McNamara analyses the Walker Independence pilot, revealing information about Abby’s past that the widow might be attempting to conceal.

Abigail says at the end that she’s staying in Independence to seek justice, and there is a lot of drama in just the first five minutes. How will that appear to her? She initially attempted to murder Tom Davidson, the new sheriff, but she now appears to have changed her mind.

Kandace McNamara It all depends because, as we all know, justice isn’t always black or white in the West. The question she must now consider is how far she is willing to go in order to exact revenge for the death of her husband.

What is she prepared to give up? What is she prepared to give up? What is she prepared to do, both violently and morally? Abby’s transformation by this new setting and the other characters she meets is something we really get to witness throughout this series.

What Aspect of Filming a Western is the Most Enjoyable?

The ability to fully immerse oneself in this world is, in my opinion, the best aspect of it. Our set is primarily useful. The town is full. Literally, you can stroll down the street, enter the bank, exit, enter the saloon, and continue around.

When we are all dressed in period attire, with all of our background artists present, and truly immersed in this town, it really creates an amazing atmosphere. We have everything, including cows, horses, and goats. You can engage in genuine play and mold the environment around you.

She Now Needs to Figure Out How to Support Herself Without Her Husband. How Will She Carry That Out?

The fact that she is given the option in this pilot of either succumbing to her circumstances or choosing her own independence and building a new future for herself is fantastic. It might not be the future she had in mind, but it could be the one she was meant for all along.

It’s fascinating to observe a woman in the 1800s having this kind of agency and having to approach problems in this manner. She is a wise female. She navigates herself.

How Will Abby and Hoyt’s Relationship Develop in the Future?

These two characters, who each fight for justice and loyalty in their own way but have very different viewpoints on the issues, are presented to us. In a way, they can push each other to confront aspects of themselves that they might not otherwise have to face. It’s exciting to see this arc come to fruition.

Who Are the Other Characters That Viewers Should Be on the Lookout for?

I’d say they’re all of them. This series is so brilliant because each and every character is so fascinating, and the actors who portray them are equally fascinating. Building these relationships between characters is so exciting because each one brings out a unique quality in the others. You can clearly see that everyone in Independence is evading something. Nothing is as it seems. And as you remove these layers, I believe people will grow to love each and every character.

Will This Series Feature You in More Action Roles?

Compared to some of the other characters I’ve played, Abby’s life is a little less action-packed, but it still has a lot going on. In many ways, life in the West is challenging, and they don’t hesitate to put our characters through the wringer. Blood, sweat, and tears have been shed, but in the most positive way possible.

Can you show me what it was like to film the pilot behind the scenes? Where was the filming done, how long did it take, and what memorable moments?

For a Western, we shot the pilot in nine days, which was unusual, and we now shoot each of our episodes in less time. We had the brilliant Larry Teng as our director, and Larry has such an amazing way of inspiring people to carry out and forward his vision while also letting everyone feel like they are participating creatively. Now we refer to it as “The Windy Way.” After working on the first three episodes of our show, Larry left us with it.

He had such a vision for the show from the moment I first discussed it with him; he added so much color, life, vibrancy, and music, and really reinvented the genre as much as we could with these fresh perspectives on 1800s Texas. His and our showrunner Seamus Kevin Fahey’s passion and heart were what united us all. We still discuss them on set every day because they came together to forge this lovely alliance that propelled the rest of us forward.

There may have been some drama between Abby’s husband and Tom Davidson, his murderer, back in Boston. He might not have been as innocent as he seems, though, according to hints in the premiere. What hints can you offer Abby regarding some potentially shocking revelations?

Abby doesn’t stop at learning more about the town she’s in and exacting revenge for her husband’s passing. When all of this occurs, she is forced to confront her own past with her own family and what may or may not be the reason she doesn’t return home.

She must face her husband’s past, delve into the real motivations behind their move to Independence, and investigate each and every person she has met so far. Everyone in this room is trying to move past something they are trying to hide. The ramifications are numerous for each of these characters, but the way they all cope with it — and whether they choose to forget and move on or not — really determines how the story develops.

Could There Be More Apparitions From Abby’s Past in Independence?

Maybe. Nothing is off-limits.

It Appears That the Men in Independence, Especially the Police, Will Underestimate Abby. What Word of Caution Would You Issue Against That?

Abby is not who she seems to be, just like everyone else in Independence, in my opinion. It’s intriguing to meet a character who appears to be a Boston society woman, very put-together, proper, and perhaps even a little demure at times. However, there is so much more to this person than meets the eye. You can see that in the pilot, and hopefully, as the series progresses, we’ll get to see more of Abby’s qualities on display.
