My Life with the Walter Boys season 2 has just wrapped production in Calgary in Alberta, Canada, nearly a year after the series first premiered on Netflix in December 2023. The series was very quickly renewed for season 2 after reaching #1 on the Global English Top 10 TV List and the Top 10 in 88 countries.
Based on the popular 2014 Wattpad novel of the same name by by Ali Novak, the drama series follows Jackie Howard (Nikki Rodriguez) who loses her entire family in a tragic accident and is sent to a small rural town in Colorado with her new guardian – her mother’s best friend, Katherine (Sarah Rafferty), who is raising ten kids with her husband, George (Marc Blucas). Jackie is determined to stay focused on getting into Princeton while getting used to her new life, all while wrapping her head around her feelings for two very different Walter brothers: the reliable and bookish Alex (Ashby Gentry), and the mysterious and troubled Cole (Noah LaLonde).
Series creator Melanie Halsall told Tudum that “Season 2 is bigger and better. 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.”

Tudum also announced new cast joining season 2
Natalie Sharp (Wilderness, The Flash) will play B. Hartford, “A champion rodeo rider who catches the eye of one of the Walter Boys. As confident and sure of herself as she is tough, smart, funny, sexy and cool, she has a bit of a chip on her shoulder about being a female in a male-dominated sport and knows she’s better than the rest of them.”
Carson MacCormac (Shazam!, Luckiest Girl Alive) will play Zach, “A strikingly handsome senior who’s commanding and a bit dangerous. With charm and confidence dialed up to 11, Zach makes strong attempts to get to know Nathan.”
Janet Kidder (Star Trek: Discovery, The Man in the High Castle) will play Joanne Wagner, “Grace’s mom who’s a bit old-fashioned and resistant to change. She’s also a good friend of Katherine’s, which proves a bit complicated as George and Will’s development plans in Silver Falls are underway.”
Riele Downs (Bel-Air, Darby and the Dead) will play Maria, “A flirty girl in Alex’s driver’s ed class, Maria takes a seat next to Alex before class begins — much to Kiley’s dismay.”
Jake Manley (The Order, The Consultant) will play Wylder Holt, “A rising star among bronc riders under 25, Wylder is a competitive force to be reckoned with who crosses paths with Alex.”
