Walker star Jared Padalecki is calm, cool and collected in these new, smoldering portraits.

The two photos are not images from the series, but photos of Padalecki just taking it all in as he takes a break from shooting his new CW drama.

Walker serves as a reboot to the 1993–2001 television series Walker, Texas Ranger. It stars Padalecki as Cordell Walker, a Texas Ranger, widower and father of two who returns home to Austin after being undercover for two years. However, he quickly learns that there is more work to be done at home than he initially anticipated.

The series premieres on Jan. 21 at 8 p.m. However, critics who were able to view the pilot episode early were not impressed. The series has a low 18 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. However, that is only based on 11 reviews, so it is still possible that the series could end up with a higher score as time passes and more episodes debut.

Starring Jared Padalecki, Lindsey Morgan, Keegan Allen, Mitch Pileggi, Molly Hagan, Violet Brinson, Kale Culley, Coby Bell and Jeff Pierre, Walker premieres Thursday, Jan. 21 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
