‘Walker’ Sets Dismantled Amid Delay In Season 5 Renewal Decision & Last-Ditch Effort To Save Show
Walker has started breaking down the sets in Austin, TX. The crew was informed of the decision last Friday and are taking other jobs.
While the move is not permanent — If a renewal ultimately comes, the sets can be put up, with producer CBS Studios saving money on stage rental in the interim — it illustrates how close to a cancellation Walker is. As Deadline reported last month, Walker cannot continue without a significant increase in its license fee, believed to be currently at $500k-$550k an episode, the lowest among the three remaining “old CW” dramas, which also include the All American duo. In search of profitability while also spending heavily on sports, the CW has been cutting costs on the entertainment programming side, relying largely on low-cost acquisitions and co-production.
