Netflix’s My Life with the Walter Boys series creator, showrunner, and executive producer Melanie Halsall describes season two of the coming-of-age series as bigger and better than the first. “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,” offered Halsall in an interview with Tudum. “When I was coming back, I was excited to start shooting again because I knew we had great stories to tell.”
Netflix released the first batch of photos from the upcoming second season but hasn’t announced a confirmed premiere date. All the streamer is promising is that season two will debut this summer.
The series stars Nikki Rodriguez as Jackie, Sarah Rafferty as Katherine, Marc Blucas as George, Noah LaLonde as Cole, and Ashby Gentry as Alex. Connor Stanhope plays Danny, Johnny Link is Will, Corey Fogelmanis is Nathan, Jaylan Evans is Skylar, Zoë Soul is Hayley, Isaac Arellanes is Isaac, and Myles Perez is Lee.
Season two also stars Alex Quijano as Richard, Ashley Tavares as Tara, Dean Petriw as Jordan, Alix West Lefler as Parker, Lennix James as Benny, Alisha Newton as Erin, and Ellie O’Brien as Grace. Filling out the ensemble are Kolton Stewart as Dylan, Mya Lowe as Kiley, Gabrielle Jacinto as Olivia, Jesse Lipscombe as Coach Allen, Nathaniel Arcand as Mato, Natalie Sharp as B. Hartford, Carson MacCormac as Zach, Janet Kidder as Joanne, Riele Downs as Maria, and Jake Manley as Wylder.
“After leaving Silver Falls following Alex’s love confession and her kiss with Cole, Jackie Howard spent the summer in New York City. 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.
Meanwhile, 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,” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “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.”
The drama, based on the novel by Ali Novak, is produced by Sony Pictures Television, International Production, and iGeneration Studios. Ed Glauser and Becky Hartman Edwards serve as executive producers.
