My Life with the Walter Boys season 2: Release date, cast and latest news
It's almost here!
There is just one more day to go before My Life with the Walter Boys returns to Netflix, with fans already being teased by the streamers' social media channels about who Jackie's heart lies with.
The second season of the romantic drama was announced very quickly after season 1 debuted. Thankfully fans won't have to wait for renewal news after that, as season 3 has already been confirmed.
Inspired by Ali Novak's Wattpad novel of the same name, the series follows 15-year-old Jackie Howard (Nikki Rodriguez), whose life is turned upside down when a family tragedy strikes, forcing her to move from New York to rural Colorado.
And it's not an easy ride for Jackie to adapt to her new life. She is taken into the care of her late mother's best friend, Katherine (Sarah Rafferty), and continues to keep hold of her dream of studying at the prestigious Princeton University, while also becoming entangled in a love triangle between two brothers, Cole (Noah LaLonde) and Alex (Ashby Gentry) Walter.
Season 1 ended on an almighty cliffhanger as Jackie fled to New York, leaving the Walter family struggling to understand why she left and who was at fault.
With season 2 hours away, read on for everything we know so far about My Life with the Walter Boys season 2.

My Life with the Walter Boys season 2 plot
The official synopsis for season 2 is as follows: "When Katherine convinces her to return to Colorado, Jackie is determined to make amends with Alex and set boundaries with Cole while finding her place within the Walter family. But fitting back in isn’t that easy. Alex – who changed a lot over the summer – isn’t too thrilled about Jackie’s attempts to reconnect, as he’s focused on training for a risky rodeo event (and enjoying all of the new attention he’s getting).
"Cole takes on a new role at school, but when that doesn’t quite fill the void left by not playing football, his old ways creep back in and cause drama,” the logline continues. "As Jackie gains acceptance in Silver Falls while trying to hold onto her Howard identity, she’s forced to make a choice that could destroy everything she’s worked to rebuild."
Season 2 picks up after summer, when Jackie returns to Colorado because of Katherine, not the titular brothers.
"She comes back, because when she goes to New York, she realises that she’s just not the same person that she was before she came to Colorado for the first time, and that maybe she doesn’t really belong in New York anymore, at least at this point in her life," Rodriguez told Tudum.
But upon Jackie's return, it's the same ranch but a very different Alex. "The old Alex is pretty much gone," Gentry told Tudum of Alex's return from cowboy camp in Montana, adding: "He comes back in resentment – and almost in opposition to Jackie."
