It looks like there’s plenty more in store when it comes to Jackie’s life with the Walter boys.
The young adult drama might only have just released season 1 on Netflix, but My Life with the Walter Boys has already been renewed for a second season.

There, grieving Jackie attempts to keep hold of her dream of studying at the prestigious Princeton University, while also becoming entangled in a love triangle between two Walter brothers, Cole (Noah LaLonde) and Alex (Ashby Gentry).

My Life with the Walter Boys season 2 plot speculation
Season 2 is likely to pick up from the end of season 1, which left the huge question of whether Jackie will pick Cole or Alex up in the air.
In this respect, the TV show's season 1 ending deviated slightly from the ending of the novel upon it’s based, which sees Jackie stay with Cole (played by LaLonde in the show).
Creator Melanie Halsall recently explained this decision, telling Variety: "In the book, she’s with Alex for quite some time, then they split up and it’s quite mutual.
"Then she and Cole decide they’re going to be together once she comes back from New York. I knew I didn’t want to do that.
"The thought I had in my head was that she wouldn’t up with either boy — that she’s a successful young woman, striving out on her own, without a romance. So that was one idea."
