My Life With the Walter Boys: Official trailer
My Life With the Walter Boys has been renewed for a second season after becoming a last-minute 2023 hit for streaming service Netflix.
The young adult drama follows 15-year-old Jackie Howard (played by Nikki Rodriguez), who moves from New York to rural Colorado after the tragic loss of her family.
There she meets the Walter family, including sporty Cole (Noah LaLonde) and bookish Alex (Ashby Gentry).
Based on the book by Ali Novak, the first season wraps up the events of the novel, but the Netflix adaptation is set to expand the story further.
Showrunner Melanie Halsall said: “I mean, the story is set in Silver Falls. Beyond that, I genuinely don’t know.”

And lead actress Rodriguez admitted she “can’t even imagine where season two would start.”
She told Deadline: “Jackie’s going through a lot and she has really big dreams and goals, and so I really hope for Jackie that she doesn’t get too off track and doesn’t get too distracted and just remember what she really wants.
“Ultimately, no one’s gonna look out for you the way that you would. So I think… her choosing herself is really important for people to see, and I kind of applaud Jackie for it to be honest.”
Whatever lies ahead for the Walter family, Netflix can bet on scoring another hit with the second season, as the first outing racked up 12 million views within its first week of release.
