In season premiere news, The CW drama “Walker” scored 939,000 viewers and a 0.1/ 1 in adults 18-49 in the Thursday 8 p.m. ET hour, which was quite a drop from the 2.43 million viewers (based on the Live+Same Day data) that it opened with on January 21, 2021. Airing out of “Walker” was “Legacies”, which was equal in the demo but slipped to just 386,000 viewers. Both dramas, of course, finished last in their time periods.
