My Life with the Walter Boys season 2: Release date window, cast and latest news
It didn't take long for a second season to be confirmed.
Not only do we now have a release window for the second season of My Life with the Walter Boys, but the series has already been renewed for its third outing also.
The news was confirmed on Netflix's official social media channels, also stating that season 2 will be premiering later this year.
Inspired by the Wattpad novel of the same name by Ali Novak, the series follows 15-year-old Jackie Howard (Nikki Rodriguez), whose life is uprooted from New York to rural Colorado following a family tragedy.
Taken into the care of her late mother's best friend, Katherine (Sarah Rafferty), Jackie attempts to keep hold of her dream of studying at the prestigious Princeton University, while also becoming entangled in a love triangle between two Walter brothers, Cole (Noah LaLonde) and Alex (Ashby Gentry).
On the announcement of season 2, creator and showrunner Melanie Halsall (via Variety) said: "I am beyond thrilled that My Life with the Walter Boys has been renewed for a second season.
"We have been overwhelmed by the love and support that the audience has given the show and can’t wait to dive back into the world of Silver Falls and the lives of these characters."
With some new casting additions, some first-look pictures and more having now been revealed, 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 is likely to pick up from the end of season 1, which left the huge question of whether Jackie will pick Cole or Alex up in the air.
In this respect, the TV show's season 1 ending deviated slightly from the ending of the novel upon it’s based, which sees Jackie stay with Cole (played by LaLonde in the show).
Creator Melanie Halsall teased that season 2 is set to be "bigger and better", telling Netflix: "We’ve got massive set pieces in each episode, and the stories are more intricate. We found our feet with our characters, [and] the actors really understand their characters now. When I was coming back, I was excited to start shooting again because I knew we had great stories to tell."
Speaking about what's in store for Jackie next season, she added: "[Jackie is] trying to figure out where she belongs this season. She’s definitely not trying to lose either side of herself, and trying to make sure that they could coexist."
