Netflix’s sleeper hit teen romance series My Life With the Walter Boys ended its first season on a massive cliffhanger, and season 2 is on the way. Based on the novel by Ali Novak originally published on Wattpad, the story follows teen Jackie (Nikki Rodriguez) who moves from New York City to rural Colorado after her parents die in a tragic accident. The heart of the story is the romantic triangle between Jackie and two of the eponymous Walter boys, and the Netflix adaptation didn’t skimp on any of the will-they-won’t-they intrigue that made the novel so popular.

The 10-episode first season of My Life With the Walter Boys was met with largely negative reactions from critics, many of whom picked apart its plot inconsistencies and its commitment to tired tropes and clichés (via Rotten Tomatoes). Despite that, the series has become a big hit with viewers on Netflix, and shows like My Life With the Walter Boys often draw in audiences with their low-stakes action and safe romance. The ending of My Life With the Walter Boys season 1 took a big risk by deviating from the source material, necessitating a second season.

Will Jackie & The Walter Boys Return?

Though nothing has been announced yet, it isn’t hard to predict what the cast of My Life With the Walter Boys season 2 will look like. Because the show is an interpersonal drama, it is safe to expect that a majority of the original main cast will reprise their roles.

My Life With The Walter Boys Season 2 Story

Will Jackie Stay In New York City?

Because My Life With the Walter Boys deviated from the book, the possibilities for season 2’s story are much more broad. The first season ended on a cliffhanger with Jackie picking neither of the brothers and hopping a plane back to NYC with her uncle Richard. Season 2 could explore her life as she tries to put the Walter family behind her, or could contrive some reason for her to return to the ranch.

Meanwhile, the drama on the ranch continues too, as Hayley was seemingly crushed by Alex when he put her in the friend zone. If Jackie comes back to live with the Walter family again, it could reignite old tensions with the boys, or it could begin a new chapter that continues to eschew the typical romance clichés. Regardless, My Life With the Walter Boys season 2 has a lot of interesting threads to work with.
