Jared Padalecki is re-teaming with his Walker showrunner Anna Fricke on a new series!

Here’s the synopsis of the series, per Deadline: It centers on a headstrong, devoted country doctor (Padalecki) who practices his unique style of improvisational medicine alongside his new protégé, a young doctor running from her past, as they operate a mobile clinic and heal the bodies and souls of their underserved community in the medical desert of rural Texas.

You may be wondering…might this new series impact the chances of Jared‘s Fire Country spinoff potential? He did a three-episode arc on the CBS drama, and Deadline is sharing that this new series does not impact the chances of him starring in the Fire Country spinoff, and it still “remains in contention.”
