YA shows with brothers in their main love triangles are officially on the up. First came The Summer I Turned Pretty, and now My Life With the Walter Boys, which has officially been renewed for a season 2 just days after its premiere.
Based on Ali Novak’s Wattpad novel of the same name, My Life With the Walter Boys season 1 hit Netflix on December 7, 2023. The show follows the story of Jackie Howard, a 15-year-old Manhattanite whose whole life turns upside down after she loses her parents and sister in an accident. She then has to move to Colorado with her guardian, Dr. Katherine Walter, who was her mother’s best friend at Columbia University.
The first season of My Life With the Walter Boys, which features 10 episodes, immediately skyrocketed in popularity on the streamer and social media. Within days of its premiere, My Life With the Walter Boys claimed the top spot on Netflix's Global English Top 10 TV List, with over 20 million views and counting. It's also reached the Top 10 in 88 countries across the world.
Produced by Sony Pictures Television, International Production in tandem with iGeneration Studios (which you might recognize from the Kissing Booth trilogy), it's safe to say My Life with the Walter Boys is gaining fans left and right. If you’ve already watched the first 10 episodes and are dying to know what happens next, we’ve collated all the information we know so far about My Life With The Walter Boys season 2 below.
When was My Life With The Walter Boys season 2 announced?
Netflix announced that My Life With the Walter Boys had been renewed for a season 2 on December 19, 2023. If we do some basic math, that’s only 12 days after its initial premiere.
“I am beyond thrilled that My Life With the Walter Boys has been renewed for a second season,” Melanie Halsall, who serves as the series creator, showrunner, and executive producer, told Tudum. “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.”
Netflix accompanied the season 2 announcement with a sweet video of the cast reaction to the news. The video shows actors Ashby Gentry (Alex Walter on the show), Nikki Rodriguez (Jackie Howard), and Noah LaLonde (Cole Walter) in the middle of a photo session on speakerphone with Halsall, who breaks the news to them. “I just wanted to let you know that we been given the green light for a season two,” Halsall announces, and the main trio immediately go in for a hug.

Who is in the cast of My Life With The Walter Boys season 2?
Though no official casting announcements have been made, judging by the season 2 announcement video, we can infer that Nikki Rodriguez will be reprising her role as Jackie Howard, as will Noah LaLonde and Ashby Gentry as Cole and Alex Walter, respectively. We can also safely assume most of the Walter family (which, if you’ve watched the show, you’d know, is a lot of people) will also be returning for My Life With the Walter Boys season 2.
What will My Life With the Walter Boys season 2 be about?
The love triangle, of course. Netflix is already touting the season with a “Team Alex or Team Cole” tagline, so expect the drama to be intensified. “Pick a side when Netflix’s hit YA drama My Life With the Walter Boys returns for a second season,” the press release for season 2 read.
🚨 SPOILER ALERT 🚨 Season 1 of My Life With the Walter Boys ended on a bit of a cliffhanger after Jackie left that note for the brothers and fled to New York, quite literally running away from all her problems. If we rewind a little, we know Alex dropped the “L” bomb prior to her escape and is now headed to the rodeo training camp. If we also rewind a little, we know that though Jackie is technically still with Alex, she also shared more than a kiss with Cole. So, yeah, that “I’m sorry” note is not going to cut it, and season 2 will likely bring all the answers.
Has My Life With The Walter Boys season 2 started filming yet?
Given that the trio have just reacted to getting the green light, it looks like My Life With the Walter Boys season 2 has not started filming yet. Season 1 of the show was filmed at a ranch in Calgary (Canada) during the spring and summer of 2022. As teased by Tudum, season 2 will likely also be filmed in Canada.
When is My Life With The Walter Boys season 2 coming out on Netflix?
No release date has yet been announced for My Life With the Walter Boys season 2. Season 1 premiered roughly a year and four months after it finished filming, so we’ll be able to make up a clearer timeframe once production starts.
Is there a trailer for My Life With The Walter Boys season 2?
At the moment, there is no trailer for My Life With the Walter Boys season 2. In the meantime, you can watch the trailer for season 1 below.
