My Life with the Walter Boys is a Netflix drama series that is based on the popular Wattpad novel by Ali Novak. It features an ensemble cast, most of which play the titular Walter family.

The protagonist is 15-year-old Jackie Howard who finds herself forced to leave her privileged Manhattan life to move in with a large, dysfunctional family in rural Colorado. So it's quite the culture shock!

During her time there, Jackie finds herself caught up in a love triangle between two brothers Cole (Noah LaLonde) and Alex (Ashby Gentry), which only complicates matters as she is doing her best to settle in.

But who is in the cast of My Life with the Walter Boys? Here's everything you need to know about the major players...
