Q and A: My life with the Walter Boys showrunner Melanie Halsall talks about season 2 of the Netflix -Hit
Season 2 of the Alberta-shot Teen Drama “My Life With The Walter Boys” has finally arrived on Netflix, and fans are eager to see what unfolds next in the lives of Jackie, Alex, and Cole. Showrunner Melanie Halsall sat down with Postmedia to give us some insights into what we can expect in the new season.
The first season left us with a cliffhanger, as Jackie headed back to New York, leaving behind a love triangle with Alex and Cole. Halsall hints that Jackie’s return may not be met with open arms, as tensions rise within the Walter household. Jackie will have to navigate rebuilding her life in Silver Falls while also dealing with unresolved feelings and conflicts.
The young actors, Nikki Rodriguez, Ashby Gentry, and Noah Lalonde, have grown immensely into their roles since the start of the series. Halsall praises their dedication and understanding of their characters, as they bring depth and authenticity to their performances.
One of the central threads in the new season is Alex’s transformation after a summer away from home. Hurt by Jackie’s departure, Alex has become more confident on the surface but is still struggling to forgive her. Jackie, on the other hand, is dealing with her own issues and trying to mend broken relationships while finding her place in Silver Falls.
As the series moves away from the source material, Halsall assures fans that the show will continue to evolve and explore new storylines beyond the original book. Filmed in picturesque locations in Alberta, the show takes advantage of the stunning landscapes to enhance the storytelling.
Despite the show’s popularity on social media, Halsall remains focused on staying true to the story she wants to tell, rather than catering to immediate feedback. She acknowledges the audience’s investment in the show but emphasizes the importance of maintaining the show’s unique tone and vision.
As the new season unfolds, fans can expect more drama, romance, and coming-of-age moments from “My Life With The Walter Boys.” With a balance of real-life issues and a healthy tone, the show continues to resonate with both young adult and wider audiences. Season 2 is now available for streaming on Netflix, so be sure to catch up on all the latest twists and turns in the lives of Jackie and the Walter boys.
