It looks like there’s plenty more in store when it comes to Jackie’s life with the Walter boys.

The young adult drama might only have just released season 1 on Netflix, but My Life with the Walter Boys has already been renewed for a second season.

Inspired by the Wattpad novel of the same name by Ali Novak, the series follows 15-year-old Jackie Howard (Nikki Rodriguez), who’s uprooted from an idyllic life in Manhattan and forced to move in with the Walter family in Colorado in the wake of a family tragedy.

There, grieving 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).

So, what could unfold in season 2? Read on for everything we know so far.

Will there be a My Life with the Walter Boys season 2?

Yes, a second season of My Life with The Walter Boys has officially been confirmed, with creator and showrunner Melanie Halsall (via Variety) saying: “I am beyond thrilled that My Life with the Walter Boys has been renewed for a second season.”

She continued: “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 added: “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 2.”

My Life with the Walter Boys season 2 release date speculation 

Given that filming on season 2 is yet to kick off, fans will likely have to wait until late 2024 or early 2025 for the next instalment.

But that’s just speculation at this point, and fans will have to wait and see.

The season 2 cast is yet to be announced, but Rodriguez and LaLonde both spoke to Tudum about the season 2 renewal, meaning fans can expect them to reprise their roles.

While Rodriguez said the season 2 renewal means “everything”, LaLonde said he can’t wait to “hang out with [his] best friends” again. 

Other potential returning cast members include:

  • Ashby Gentry as Alex Walter
  • Sarah Rafferty as Katherine Walter
  • Marc Blucas as George Walter
  • Connor Stanhope as Danny
  • Johnny Link as Will
  • Corey Fogelmanis as Nathan
  • Dean Petriw as Jordan
  • Lennix James as Benny
  • Alix West Lefler as Parker

My Life with the Walter Boys season 2 plot speculation

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 recently explained this decision, telling Variety: “In the book, she’s with Alex for quite some time, then they split up and it’s quite mutual.

“Then she and Cole decide they’re going to be together once she comes back from New York. I knew I didn’t want to do that.

“The thought I had in my head was that she wouldn’t up with either boy — that she’s a successful young woman, striving out on her own, without a romance. So that was one idea.”
