'My Life With the Walter Boys' Season 4: Everything We Know

Turns out we won’t be leaving Silver Falls any time soon: Netflix has officially renewed the coming-of-age drama My Life with the Walter Boys for a fourth season, with the news coming before the third season premiered on August 6, 2026. Based on the Wattpad sensation-turned-novel by Ali Novak, the series follows Jackie Howard (Nikki Rodriguez), who moves in with her mom’s best friend’s family in small-town Colorado after her family is tragically killed in a car crash. As Jackie acclimates to the change of pace from her Manhattan roots, she finds herself in a love triangle with two of the brothers living under the roof.

While the first season largely lifted from Novak’s novel, the subsequent seasons have evolved the story across many different characters and plot points—and season 4 will be no different. Ahead, we break down everything we know about the forthcoming My Life with the Walter Boys season 4.

Is 'My Life with the Walter Boys' renewed for season 4?

In May 2026, a few months before the season 3 premiere, Netflix officially confirmed My Life with the Walter Boys will return for a fourth season, signaling the popularity of the YA series. The Tudum announcement noted that this is the second consecutive year in which My Life with the Walter Boys was renewed before the forthcoming season’s premiere.

When will 'My Life with the Walter Boys' season 4 come out?

The streamer revealed that new episodes can be expected in 2027. “I know I speak for the writers, the cast, and the crew when I say that it is beyond exciting to be returning to the world of Silver Falls for a fourth season,” showrunner and executive producer Melanie Halsall told Tudum. “We are all incredibly grateful and are thrilled to dive in.”

Seasons 2 and 3 of the hit romance series were released in the summer, and it seems season 4 could do the same. In early August—just as the new slate of season 3 episodes hit streaming—Netflix announced that the show had already picked the cameras back up. It shared a sweet photo of the main trio back on set on social media, along with a caption confirming season 4 was in production. According to an interview with star Sarah Rafferty in US Weekly, filming continued into the fall—but it sounds like it may have wrapped by late October.

All the more reason to believe filming wrapped? The core trio was together on Halloween—all dressed as Spider-Man, no less—but celebrating in N.Y.C., and the series typically shoots in Alberta, Canada. They could be filming an episode in Jackie's hometown, but it's more likely that season 4 is complete.

With filming done or nearly finished, it's definitely feasible for season 4 to arrive in summer 2027. A firm release date will arrive sometime in 2027. (For his part, Ashby Gentry has joked that he would press a button to tell the world the season 4 release date if he could. We certainly wouldn't be opposed!)

Who in the 'My Life with the Walter Boys' cast will return for season 4?

My Life with the Walter Boys wouldn't be the same without the leads—Nikki Rodriguez (Jackie Howard), Noah LaLonde (Cole Walter), and Ashby Gentry (Alex Walter)—so they'll inevitably return.

Sarah Rafferty has confirmed she'll return as the Walter matriarch, and we can expect to see more of the patriarch played by Marc Blucas, as well. That goes for the other Walter siblings (and cousins) portrayed by Corey Fogelmanis (Nathan), Connor Stanhope (Danny), Dean Petriw (Jordan), Lennix James (Benny), Alix West Lefler (Parker), Myles Perez (Lee), and Isaac Arellanes (Isaac). The significant others and friends among the Walter family will also likely return, meaning we’ll see more of Jaylan Evans (Skylar), Alisha Newton (Erin), Ellie O'Brien (Grace), Mya Lowe (Kylie), and Kolton Stewart (Dylan). Jackie’s uncle Richard, played by Alex Quijano, could continue to recur in season 4—and his intern Eliot (Naveen Paddock), whom Jackie kisses in the season 3 finale, seems likely to return after that major cliffhanger.

Eldest son Will and his fiancée Hayley, played onscreen by Johnny Link and Zoë Soul, are question marks, as their plans to move to Atlanta were announced in season 3. Similarly, Erin Karpluk, who appeared in season 3 as Lee and Isaac’s mom, Hannah, could reappear in season 4, though it’s unlikely given the conclusion of her arc.

What would 'My Life with the Walter Boys' season 4 be about?

Like previous seasons, season 3 ends with a few cliffhangers: Following Jackie and Cole's mid-season breakup, Jackie sees her childhood friend Eliot in a new light and shares a kiss with him, while Cole's life is in danger after a drag race gone wrong. The series also introduces a new love triangle with best friends Alex and Kiley kissing despite her dating Dylan.

The exact plot of season 4 has not yet been revealed—but with Cole's fate hanging in the balance, his pre-race clarity, and the amount of miscommunication that fueled Jackie and Cole's breakup, we're sure to see those lovebirds find their way back to each other in season 4. Halsall told Tudum, “Our story’s about love and romance and love triangles and all those teenage trials and tribulations around those things, and we’re not going to divert from those—so much, much more of that to come in season 4.”

Halsall unpacked her choice to end season 3 with so many stories up in the air in a Deadline interview. "We like to subvert expectations and make people desperate for more and make people shout at their screen because they can’t believe it’s over," she explained. "It felt like the right place to leave the characters for now after everything that’s happened in this season."

But don't fret: She clarified in a TV Insider interview that the forthcoming episodes will resume where season 3 ends. So get the tissue box ready because Rodriguez teased to ET that we'll see Jackie's reaction. (Be still my fragile heart!)

It's safe to say tensions will run high—but the showrunner has emphasized that the characters will only become more emotionally mature. "I think the best thing I could say about season 4 is we will continue that sophistication and maturity," she said to TV Insider. "That’s definitely something we really feel worked for season 3 really well, and we want to continue. The characters are getting older, the audience is getting older, and we want to really kind of capitalize on that maturity and sophistication that we started in season 3. So it will feel like an elevation yet again from our show."

Plus, while it hasn't been confirmed if season 4 is the final season, Halsall has revealed that she knows where the entire series is headed. While speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, the showrunner said, "I definitely have a story in mind...Obviously things adapt and change while you’re writing. But the overall sense of where we’ll end up remains more or less the same."

It sounds like there will eventually be a satisfying conclusion to its ultimate will-they-won't-they, but in the meantime, we'll keep our eyes out for news regarding season 4.
