Lindsey Morgan to Depart From Walker in Season 2
Walker Season 2 recently premiered on The CW, but some bittersweet news followed its arrival: Lindsey Morgan is departing from the series. Morgan plays Cordell Walker’s (Jared Padalecki) partner — and often his voice of reason — on the show.
Deadline reported the news, revealing that Morgan will take her final bow sometime during the second outing. She’s already filmed a number of episodes, so fans can expect a bit more of Micki before they say goodbye. Per the outlet, her final appearance is TBD.
Morgan took to Instagram to confirm the news and explain her decision, citing “personal reasons.” She went on to describe how much she’s enjoyed working on Walker, praising everyone involved in the show’s creation:
“This decision was entirely my choice and I am overwhelmed with gratitude to all those involved for their full support and compassion. I have only been treated with the upmost respect, kindness and appreciation from this cast, crew, production, writing team, network and studio. WALKER was one of the safest, professional and joyful sets that I’ve ever experienced and it was truly a privilege to create with Such gems of human beings.”
It’s unclear what’s next for Morgan — or when — but she did emphasize her desire to continue her acting career when it feels right.
“This isn’t goodbye, but an extended break and I hope to return to my career healthier and happier than ever after taking this time off,” the actress wrote.
Morgan previously portrayed Raven Reyes on The CW’s science-fiction series The 100. She moved on to Walker following the series’ eighth and final season in 2020.
As for how Walker will handle Morgan’s departure, that’s anyone’s guess. Hopefully, the CW series will find Cordell an equally compelling partner when she’s gone — and leave the door open for a return should she want one.
