Jared Padalecki Joins 'Fire Country' Season 3 After 'Walker' Cancellation
Padalecki will appear in a recurring role in three episodes. He will play Camden, who is described as "a SoCal firefighter and outsider with a surfer mentality who is a force to be reckoned with and who immediately recognizes Bode's (Max Thieriot) raw talent."
The role keeps Padalecki in business with CBS Studios, which produces "Fire Country." Padalecki most recently starred in the studio's series "Walker," which aired for four seasons on The CW with Padalecki in the lead role and executive producing. He also served as executive producer on the prequel series "Walker: Independence," which aired for one season.
Padalecki is, of course, best known for his role in the long-running series “Supernatural” on The CW/The WB. The series aired for 15 seasons with Padalecki co-hosting the show alongside Jensen Ackles. There has been some discussion about Padalecki and Ackles reuniting with “Supernatural” creator Eric Kripke in the Amazon series “The Boys,” which Kripke serves as showrunner for and Ackles appears in as Soldier Boy.
