My Life with the Walter Boys is back for Season 2 on Netflix. It follows Jackie Howard, a teenager dealing with love, loss, and a new life far from home. Ali Novak’s best-selling book is the basis for the series, which has gained a large following thanks to its touching story and characters that people can relate to.
After its successful debut in December 2023, Netflix renewed the show for a second season. Season 2 promises more drama, deeper relationships, and fresh scenery. Although the fictional town of Silver Falls, Colorado is the setting, the series is actually filmed in Alberta, Canada, making use of its breathtaking landscapes.
On NetFilming, we break down all the filming locations used in Season 2, along with behind-the-scenes details and trivia that fans will love.
Where was My Life with the Walter Boys Season 2 filmed?
Season 2 of My Life with the Walter Boys was shot entirely in Alberta, Canada, with its breathtaking landscapes standing in for Colorado’s Silver Falls. Jackie’s trip takes place in Alberta, where there are wide fields, calm lakes, and tall Rocky Mountains. The production used a lot of different places, from busy Calgary to small towns like Cochrane and Okotoks. Below, we explain the main filming locations and why they were chosen.
Calgary, Alberta
Most of the show’s outdoor and some indoor scenes were shot in and around Calgary, a city known for its mix of modern infrastructure and nearby rural charm. The crew used local ranches and open fields to recreate the small-town feel of Silver Falls.
Filming Spot Highlight:
- CL Ranch, located west of Calgary, served as the Walter family’s ranch. Most episodes of the show take place here, which is the main setting. The real Walter house is located on this ranch.
Fun fact: Calgary is a popular place to film. This is also where big films like The Last of Us, Heartland, and Brokeback Mountain were made.
Cochrane, Alberta
This pretty town northwest of Calgary was used for many scenes, especially those with cafes, schools, and everyday life in Silver Falls. Cochrane’s pretty streets and cosy surroundings make it a great setting for a teen drama.
Fun fact: Cochrane has also hosted shows like Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Fargo.
Crossfield, Alberta
Crossfield is another town in Alberta where important Season 2 scenes were filmed. The show was filmed in the town’s schools, stores, and open roads, which made the setting feel more real.
Notable Filming Sites:
- Chestermere High School – Some school scenes were filmed here in early August 2024.
- Chestermere Recreation Center – Used for community and indoor scenes.
Trivia: While smaller than Calgary or Cochrane, Crossfield has appeared in commercials and smaller indie films thanks to its classic Canadian small-town vibe.
Downtown Calgary
Although most of the show takes place in rural settings, a few scenes required an urban touch. Downtown Calgary was used for short sequences that show Jackie’s connections to her old life or when the characters visit the city.
Trivia: Downtown Calgary is no stranger to cameras—it’s been featured in Interstellar, Cool Runnings, and Jumanji: The Next Level.
High River (Unconfirmed)
People in High River say they saw the crew filming, but this hasn’t been officially confirmed. This town has beautiful views and a movie-like charm, so it would be a good place to film some episodes.
Trivia: Heartland, a long-running CBC show, was mostly filmed in High River.
Bragg Creek, Alberta
The Walter family’s ranch, which is a main setting, was filmed at CL Western Town and Backlot in Bragg Creek. This large ranch in Alberta’s Foothills has a rustic charm that fits the Western theme of the show.
Trivia: Bragg Creek’s CL Ranch was used in The Last of Us and Kevin Costner’s Let Him Go. Its authentic cowboy vibe makes it a staple for Western-style shoots.
Other Alberta Spots
Additional locations like Kananaskis Country and Girletz Rodeo Ranch were used for rodeo scenes and outdoor moments. Kananaskis’ peaceful forests and lakes, praised by actor Noah LaLonde, added depth to the show’s scenic shots.
Trivia: Kananaskis Country starred in The Revenant, showcasing its wild, untouched beauty. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site, perfect for epic landscapes.

What’s New in Season 2?
Season 2 dives deeper into the lives of the Walter family. Jackie returns to Silver Falls, still torn between Alex and Cole, while trying to find her place in the chaos of the Walter household. With 10 brand-new episodes, viewers can expect more heartfelt moments, teen drama, and scenic visuals.
The main cast is back, including Nikki Rodriguez as Jackie, Ashby Gentry as Alex, and Noah LaLonde as Cole. Netflix has also confirmed five new recurring cast members joining the show.

My Life with the Walter Boys Season 2 Behind The Scenes
Filming across Alberta’s scenic landscapes gave the production a unique charm, but it wasn’t all smooth sailing. Long outdoor shoots, unpredictable weather, and emotional scenes added real challenges — yet the cast embraced it fully.
Nikki Rodriguez, who plays Jackie, shared in an interview:
“There were days when the wind would not let up, and we had to reshoot several takes. But Alberta is so beautiful, it kind of made up for everything.”
Showrunner Melanie Halsall revealed how important it was to maintain the balance between romance and realism in Season 2:
“We wanted to deepen Jackie’s character this season without losing the lighthearted teen drama our audience loves.”
The team also worked hard to keep the atmosphere on set fun and collaborative. Cast bonding, script read-throughs, and plenty of laughter between takes helped create the warm on-screen chemistry fans love. From early morning ranch shoots to heartfelt night scenes, every moment was a group effort.
