Nikki Rodriguez's "My Life With the Walter Boys"The streamer released first-look images for Season 2 of the hit YA series, based on Ali Novak’s book of the same name.

Return this summer, the young adult sensation has already been renewed for a third season.

After Season 1’s launch in December 2023, it was quickly renewed for a sophomore season.

The second season will see Jackie Howard (Rodriguez) return to Silver Falls, Colorado after she abruptly left the small town where she lived briefly to spend the summer in New York City.

Season 1 watched Jackie move in with the Walters family, led by her late mother’s best friend Katherine Walter (Sarah Rafferty) after she lost both parents and her older sister Lucy in a tragic car accident. Katherine took Jackie in along with her nine sons and one daughter on the ranch that has been in her husband George’s (Marc Blucas) family for generations. While adjusting to life with a bustling, big family and a new high school, Jackie got caught up in a love triangle between brothers Cole (Noah LaLonde) and Alex (Ashby Gentry), two very different young men.

Nikki Rodriguez's "My Life With the Walter Boys"Season 2’s logline reads, “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).”

Alex isn’t the only one who’s changed, either.

“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,” the logline continues. “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.”

Season 2 will also star Corey Fogelmanis as Nathan Walter, Connor Stanhope as Cole’s twin brother Danny Walter, Johnny Link as Will Walter, Jaylan Evans as Skylar, Zoë Soul as Hayley, Isaac Arellanes as Isaac, Myles Perez as Lee, Alex Quijano as Jackie’s Uncle Richard, Ashley Tavares as Tara, Dean Petriw as Jordan Walter, Elix West as Parker Walter and Lennix James as Benny Walter.

Alisha Newton will return as Erin alongside Ellie O’Brien as Grace, Kolton Stewart as Dylan, Mya Lowe as Kiley and Gabrielle Jacinto as Olivia.

Nathanial Arcand plays Mato and Jesse Lipscombe plays Coach Allen.

Newcomers this season will include Natalie Sharp (B. Hartford), Carson MacCormac (Zach), Janet Kidder (Joanne), Riele Downs (Maria), and Jake Manley (Wylder).

My Life With the Walter Boys is produced by Sony Pictures Television, International Production and iGeneration Studios..
