Get ready to jump for joy and scream to the top of your lungs because My Life With the Walter Boys has been officially renewed for a second season at Netflix! The streaming giant announced this wonderful news on Dec. 19, only 12 days after the first season dropped. We were sort of surprised by the early renewal because Netflix doesn’t typically renew its new shows so soon after they premiere.
But as soon as My Life With the Walter Boys premiered, the show continued to rank highly on Netflix's top 10 TV shows list. In fact, it was the No. 1 show on the Global English Top 10 TV List for two weeks, had reached the Top 10 in 88 countries, and had accumulated 20.3 million views in just two weeks of being on Netflix. In addition, the teen series had even gone viral on TikTok. So, a season 2 renewal was pretty much a given.
Here's what series creator Melanie Halsall had to say about the renewal via Netflix:
"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."
Executive producer Ed Glauser also had something to say about the show being renewed:
"The saying It takes a village couldn’t be more true as it pertains to the success of My Life with the Walter Boys. From Ali Novak's original novel, brilliantly adapted by Melanie Halsall, to our wonderful cast who brought her characters to life, and Netflix’s steadfast commitment, we’re thrilled to continue Jackie’s journey with season two."
Netflix also released a 1:13 video on X of Nikki Rodriguez (Jackie), Noah LaLonde (Cole), and Ashby Gentry (Alex) finding out about the season 2 renewal from Halsall. We can't wait to see them return in their respective roles.
MY LIFE WITH THE WALTER BOYS SEASON 2 IS COMING!

Now, we're hearing that production on the second season could be starting this spring. More on that below!
Spoilers ahead from My Life With the Walter Boys season 1.
Rumor has it that the cast and crew will return to work to film the second season in Alberta, Canada, starting in mid-May 2024 and then continuing through to October 2024. We've learned this news from the news outlet What's on Netflix. However, it's important to mention that these production details have not been confirmed by Netflix or anyone on the show's creative team, so it's just a rumor for now.
But if this actually ends up being the production schedule, this means we won't be seeing the second season in 2024 at all. As soon as the cameras stop rolling on the second season, the new episodes will then move over to post-production where they'll be edited to perfection. This can be a lengthy process. The episodes won't finish being edited in time to make a 2024 release. We would most likely be seeing My Life With the Walter Boys season 2 in early 2025.
We'll get back to you with more production details once they're known.
The teen series opens with 15-year-old Jackie Howard, who after discovering that her parents and older sister died in a car accident, is forced to move cross-country to the small town of Silver Falls in Colorado, to live with her new guardian Katherine Walter and her family.
Jackie is still grappling with the death of her family and is now determined more than ever to get accepted into her dream college, Princeton. But although she tries her best to keep her head down and focus on her studies while in Silver Falls, she soon finds her focus tested when she becomes entangled in a love triangle between two brothers. Those two brothers are Alex and Cole Walter, Jackie’s new guardian’s kids.
Here’s everything that happened in the My Life With the Walter Boys season 1 finale:
We first need to see Jackie make her way back to Colorado. Obviously, this would most likely happen because that’s where the show is mainly set. Could there be a small time jump? Yes. It looks like Jackie will be spending the summer with her uncle in New York, but once the summer break is over, she’ll have to go back to Silver Falls and face the music. Will she confess to Alex that she kissed Cole, or will she keep it a secret? Will she and Cole continue to mess around behind Alex’s back?
And what about Alex and Cole? They were finally on good terms, but after Alex found the fixed teapot, things didn’t look too great. Will Cole tell Alex that he likes Jackie? Will he tell him that he kissed her before the summer break? This is something we need to find out.
Who is Morgan? Hayley received a text message from a person named Morgan in the season 1 finale, and she didn’t look too happy about the message. She even lied to her husband about who really texted her. Could this Morgan person have anything to do with the competitive lecture that Hayley wanted to join at her graduate school? Remember, she never told Will about it.
What about Erin and Danny? Anybody can see that something is brewing between them. Will they eventually get together? And we can’t forget about Alex and Kiley. Will Kiley finally move on from Alex after he basically rejected her? Also, what will Katherine and George decide to do with the ranch? Will Richard back Will on his business venture? This could bring business to the ranch, which would mean that Katherine and George wouldn’t have to sell it.
There’s so much that can be explored in season 2. Once plot details are revealed, we'll be sure to share them right away.
Since the show was recently renewed, there isn’t an official season 2 cast list just yet. However, we have an idea of who could possibly return in a second season.
Obviously, all the actors playing the characters involved in the love triangle will likely return. That means Nikki Rodriguez (Jackie), Noah LaLonde (Cole), and Ashby Gentry (Alex) would come back for the second season. Honestly, all of the season 1 cast would likely return for the second installment.
Here’s who we expect to see come back for My Life With the Walter Boys season 2:
There would probably be new cast additions as well, and we'll make sure to provide their names as they are announced.
