No Trailer Yet, But My Life With the Walter Boys Season 3 Promises Heartbreak, Lies, and Shocking Twists
Fans of My Life With the Walter Boys are champing at the bit for Season 3, especially after the gut-punch cliffhangers of Season 2, which dropped on Netflix on August 28, 2025. While rumors of an “official trailer drop” for Season 3 have circulated, no such teaser exists yet, per reliable sources like Netflix’s Tudum and Teen Vogue. Instead, Netflix has confirmed that production is underway, with stars Nikki Rodriguez (Jackie Howard), Noah LaLonde (Cole Walter), and Ashby Gentry (Alex Walter) back in action, filming in Alberta, Canada, for a 2026 premiere. Despite the absence of a trailer, the show’s creators and cast have teased a season packed with heartbreak, lies, and shocking twists, building on the love triangle and family secrets that left fans reeling. Here’s everything we know about Season 3, why there’s no trailer yet, and what to expect when Jackie and the Walters return.
The Trailer Rumor: Setting the Record Straight
Social media, including posts on X, has buzzed with excitement about a supposed Season 3 teaser showcasing “heartbreak, lies, and shocking twists.” However, sources like Tudum and Forbes confirm no official trailer or teaser has been released. The only Season 3 footage is a brief August 6, 2025, announcement video where Rodriguez, LaLonde, and Gentry hold up three fingers, signaling production start, with text reading, “When you are still waiting for season 2, but we just started production on season 3.” This clip, shared across Netflix’s socials, contains no plot details or scenes, just a hype-building confirmation of the show’s renewal.
Filming began on August 6, 2025, and is slated to wrap by December 1, 2025, per the Directors Guild of Canada, making a trailer release premature. Given Season 2’s trailer dropped on August 5, 2025, just weeks before its premiere, a Season 3 trailer is likely months away, possibly summer 2026. Fan-made “trailers” on platforms like YouTube, such as those from Screen Culture, have fueled speculation, but these are unofficial and not reflective of Netflix’s plans. For now, fans can rewatch Seasons 1 and 2 on Netflix to fuel their anticipation.
Nikki Rodriguez’s Return: Jackie’s Journey Continues
Nikki Rodriguez is confirmed to return as Jackie Howard, the 15-year-old Manhattanite whose life was upended by a tragic car accident, forcing her to relocate to Silver Falls, Colorado, with the Walter family. Rodriguez’s portrayal has been a cornerstone of the series, blending ambition with vulnerability as Jackie navigates grief, a new home, and a tangled love triangle with brothers Alex and Cole. In a Teen Vogue interview, Rodriguez expressed excitement about Jackie’s growth, noting her struggle to balance her New York roots with her new life. “She’s trying to figure out where she belongs,” Rodriguez said, hinting that Season 3 will push Jackie toward tougher choices.
Rodriguez’s return was never in question, given Jackie’s central role, but her comments to Deadline underscore her hopes for Jackie’s arc: “I really hope she doesn’t get too distracted and remembers what she wants,” emphasizing Jackie’s Princeton dreams and self-empowerment. Her presence in the production announcement video alongside LaLonde and Gentry further cements her involvement, quashing any fan concerns about her absence.
Season 2’s Cliffhangers: Setting Up Heartbreak and Lies
Season 2, based loosely on Ali Novak’s Wattpad novel, ended with two major cliffhangers that promise the heartbreak and lies teased for Season 3. First, Jackie confessed her love to Cole after he declared his feelings, a moment Noah LaLonde called a “verbalization of everything that’s been going on.” Tragically, Alex overheard this, having been told by Jackie earlier that she loved him, setting up a betrayal that could fracture the brothers’ bond and Jackie’s place in the family. Second, George Walter (Marc Blucas) suffered a medical emergency—possibly a heart attack—leaving his fate uncertain and the family in chaos.
Showrunner Melanie Halsall told Tudum, “We can’t just ignore that big revelation at the end of Season 2,” referring to Jackie’s confession and its fallout. The love triangle’s escalation will likely fuel heartbreak, with Alex potentially turning to new characters like Blake (Natalie Sharp) or lashing out at Cole. Lies could stem from Jackie’s attempt to salvage her relationships or from hidden truths within the Walter family, as suggested by fan speculation about a “shocking secret.”
The Shocking Twists: What Could They Be?
While Rodriguez hasn’t revealed a specific “biggest twist,” as claimed in some fan-driven narratives, the cast and crew have hinted at unexpected turns. Ashby Gentry told People that Season 3’s scripts take the story in a direction he “didn’t think was going to happen,” suggesting a surprise in the love triangle’s resolution. One potential twist could be Jackie choosing neither brother, prioritizing her Princeton goals, as Rodriguez advocated for “Team Jackie” in Teen Vogue. Alternatively, a new character, like recurring guest star Chad Rook, could disrupt the triangle, introducing fresh romance or rivalry.
The “shocking secret” might tie to George’s health crisis. If he faces a prolonged recovery or doesn’t survive, the family could uncover hidden financial troubles or a past scandal, such as a concealed debt or a family member’s secret. Fan theories on X suggest a connection between Jackie’s late parents and the Walters, perhaps revealed through a letter or document, though this remains speculative. Halsall’s interest in intergenerational stories hints at exploring Katherine’s (Sarah Rafferty) past with Jackie’s mother or Uncle Richard’s (Alex Quijano) role, which could unveil a twist affecting Jackie’s place in the family.
Lies and Heartbreak: The Love Triangle and Beyond
The “lies” in Season 3 likely center on Jackie’s deception in Season 2, where she hid her feelings for Cole while rekindling things with Alex. A fan on X lamented, “Jackie lowkey ruined her character by leading on Alex when she knew she loves Cole,” reflecting sentiment that her actions will have consequences. Alex’s heartbreak could lead to a rift with Cole or a new romance with Blake, while Cole’s own struggles—losing football and seeking purpose—might push him back to old, destructive habits, causing further tension.
Beyond the triangle, lies could emerge from supporting characters. Nathan’s (Corey Fogelmanis) epilepsy or his romance with Skylar (Jaylan Evans) might involve hidden struggles, while Danny (Connor Stanhope) and Erin’s (Alisha Newton) arc could reveal secrets affecting the family. Halsall’s tease of adult relationships, like potential sparks between Tara (Ashley Tavares) and Nikhil (Moheb Jindran), suggests additional layers of drama.
Production and Cast Details
Filming for Season 3, produced by Sony Pictures Television and iGeneration Studios, is underway in Calgary, Cochrane, and Crossfield, Alberta, with a projected wrap date of December 1, 2025. The core cast returns, including Rodriguez, LaLonde, Gentry, Rafferty, Blucas (pending George’s fate), Fogelmanis, Stanhope, and Evans. Chad Rook joins as a recurring guest for at least four episodes, though his role is undisclosed. Season 3 will likely feature 10 episodes, continuing the show’s blend of teen romance and deeper themes like grief and family dynamics.
