My Life with the Walter Boys (Season 3)

Pack your bags for Colorado because the hit teen romantic drama is back for its third season! Fans don’t have to worry about the show’s future, as Netflix has handed out an early renewal for Season 4 ahead of its premiere this month. The synopsis for the upcoming batch of episodes is as follows:

“The path to true love is never easy, especially in Silver Falls. Last time we saw Walters, Jackie and Cole had finally confessed their love for each other, only for Jackie’s boyfriend – and Cole’s brother – Alex to overhear. But their conversation is interrupted when Walter’s patriarch George is rushed to the hospital. Season 3 sees Walters realize what’s important in its consequences – and he discovers what’s behind what you want. With their love lives still hanging in the balance, Alex turns up on her new rodeo riding team, and Cole gets back in the driver’s seat of her life, literally, when a race car driver sees potential in her. Meanwhile, Jackie sets her heart on developing the town’s community space, but when a childhood friend visits from New York, it turns out to be harder than she expected.
