The first look at My Life With the Walter Boys’ third season might have just confirmed a major death.
Netflix released the sneak peek on Wednesday, June 24, which showed most of the characters — except family patriarch George (Marc Blucas). This caused concern among fans after the second season, which aired in August 2025, ended on a shocking cliffhanger.
As Jackie (Nikki Rodriguez) found herself caught between her feelings for Cole (Noah LaLonde) and Alex (Ashby Gentry), the trio found out that George had a medical emergency and it was unclear whether he would survive.
“I wanted a big finale, and I was always working towards that scene between Jackie, Cole, and Alex,” creator Melanie Halsall told Tudum at the time. “I also always had the idea in my head that the family would have this big crisis, and it would probably be around George.”
Based on Ali Novak‘s book, My Life With the Walter Boys follows recently orphaned Jackie, a teenage girl from Manhattan who relocates to rural Colorado after she is taken in by the Walters, a family of seven sons and a daughter.
In addition to Rodriguez, the show stars LaLonde, Gentry, Johnny Link, Corey Fogelmanis, Connor Stanhope, Zoë Soul, Jaylan Evans and Sarah Rafferty.
Before the show’s return, Rafferty, 53, promised to Us that season 3 was worth the wait.
“We’re about to finish filming! I just came home from Calgary this weekend for this,” Rafferty shared in November 2025. “It’s getting very cold there. It’s so fun.”
Rafferty, who plays Katherine, gushed about her time on set.
“I can tell you that those actors are as easy to love as their characters. They are all the salt of the earth,” she noted. “I think season 3 is chef’s kiss — it’s so beautifully shot and cinematic and has such wonderful story lines.”
Viewers will quickly find themselves “really invested” courtesy of the characters. “I’m really excited for everybody to see season 3,” Rafferty added. “I’m so grateful for how season 2 was received — really grateful.”
She concluded: “The show just keeps progressing and getting more and more beautiful and intriguing. We’ve got such great guest characters and such beautiful locations. It’s so fun.”
