Title: Jared Padalecki's Medical Drama in the Works at CBS
Jared Padalecki is making a splash on CBS with a new Texas-based medical drama. This untitled project, currently in development, has the small screen veteran playing a country doctor with a knack for unconventional medicine. He'll be joined by his new protege, a young doctor trying to outrun her past, as they provide healing for the body and soul of their rural Texas community, often shorthanded in the medical field[1][2][3].
Spearheading the production as both showrunner and executive producer is Anna Fricke, along with Laura Terry of Pursued by a Bear[1][2][3]. Jared Padalecki and Dan Spilo also take up executive producer roles in this venture[1][2][3].
The announcement comes on the heels of Padalecki's three-episode stint on CBS's Fire Country, as Southern California firefighter Camden Casey. This engagement could lead to a spinoff series, Fire Country: Surfside, joining the anticipated Sheriff Country lineup for the 2025-2026 TV season[1][2][3].
Padalecki has been a consistent presence on-screen since his debut on Gilmore Girls in 2000, with only one year break between Supernatural and Walker[1][2][3].
