The first trailer for the upcoming Netflix series “My Life With the Walter Boys” is here. Newcomer Nikki Rodriguez is set to break hearts when the show, which is based on the acclaimed novel by Ali Novak, premieres on Dec. 7. Watch the trailer at the top of the page now.
Rodriguez’s Jackie Howard is a 15-year-old who finds herself uprooted from Manhattan to rural Colorado (“the middle of nowhere,” as she puts it) after the unexpected deaths of her family. Jackie is curious about her new home and city but is focused on returning to the Northeast and getting into Princeton.
In the wake of her enormous loss, Jackie is taken in by her mom’s best friend, Katherine (played by “Suits” star Sarah Rafferty) and her husband George (Marc Blucas). The pair are already raising ten children in a home Jackie’s classmate describes as “boy heaven,” and from the looks of it, two of those boys might have Jackie questioning everything.
Jackie soon develops a crush on not one but two of her new housemates, brothers Alex (Ashby Gentry) and Cole (Noah LaLonde). As a former star athlete, Cole is still reeling from an injury that has left him sidelined, while Alex is a “dreamer and an undeniable romantic” who loves “Star Wars” and gaming.
The boys couldn’t be more different from one another and all three teens are under one roof, which means tension, heartache, and butterflies are all bound to follow. If the trailer’s final scene is any indication, Jackie, Alex, and Cole might be in for a bumpy, and emotional, ride.
