In season 2, Walter family matriarch Katherine (Rafferty) turns up in the Big Apple in search of answers and to tell Jackie to come home to Silver Falls. <\/p>\n

Previously speaking about season 2, creator Melanie Halsall said in a statement: “Season 2 is bigger and better. We\u2019ve got massive set pieces in each episode, and the stories are more intricate. <\/p>\n

“We found our feet with our characters, [and] the actors really understand their characters now. When I was coming back, I was excited to start shooting again because I knew we had great stories to tell.”<\/p>\n

Speaking about season 1 Halsall said: “You never know what the audience is going to react to, or like, or dislike. And then once the show did go on air [and] we were re-commissioned so quickly, it did feel like a complete whirlwind. Everyone was delighted.”<\/p>\n

Despite having a critic score of 42% Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>, viewers were clearly taken with season 1, with one viewer<\/a> on IMDB calling My Life With the Walter Boys a “stupid but weirdly enjoyable, classic trashy drama”.<\/p>\n

One audience review<\/a> called it an “entertaining binge watch”, while another said<\/a>: “This is an easy show to watch when you want something entertaining and not too intense.”<\/p>\n

Season 2 of My Life With the Walter Boys is now streaming on Netflix. <\/p>\n
