My Life with the Walter Boys became an instant hit after premiering on Netflix this month, and the next chapter is just around the corner! The streaming giant renewed the hit teen drama for its second season less than two weeks after its premiere.
My Life with the Walter Boys is based on Ali Novak’s novel of the same name, and it centers on Jackie Howard, the 15-year-old girl who finds herself suddenly becoming an orphan after her family dies in a tragic accident. Her privileged life in Manhattan becomes a thing of the past after she moves to rural Colorado to live with the family of her mother’s best friend.
In addition to Nikki Rodriguez in the lead role, My Life with the Walter Boys also stars Noah LaLonde, Ashby Gentry, Johnny Link, Corey Fogelmanis, Connor Stanhope, Zoë Soul, Jaylan Evans, Sarah Rafferty, and Marc Blucas.
The first season of this teen drama attracted 12 million viewers during its first full week on Netflix, and showrunner Melanie Halsall said they’ve been overwhelmed by the positive reactions.
“It’s been incredible. Phenomenal, actually. I think the audience response has just been so overwhelming and enthusiastic and positive. We couldn’t have hoped for a better audience reaction really,” Halsall told Deadline.
