The amazing reaction to My Life with the Walter Boys hasn’t hit stars Noah LaLonde (left, who plays Cole), Nikki Rodriguez (center, who plays Jackie), and Ashby Gentry (right, who plays Alex) yet. “It’s really hard to wrap your head around it, honestly,” says Rodriguez. “I don’t know how to feel.”

Psst! My Life with the Walter Boys is coming back for Season 2. “There’s nothing better. There’s really no better experience,” says Rodriguez about making the show.

Gentry calls Rodriguez the captain of the Walter Boys ship. And, in case you’re wondering, no, she did not have time to make a breakfast burrito this morning. “But I would’ve had one.”

Gentry owns his fuzzy sweater that looks straight out of Monsters, Inc. “It’s Fuzzy-Wuzzy. Literally, that’s what it’s called,” he says.

LaLonde suggests that the people around them might have a better grasp on what’s happening than they do. “Because we at least are from the inside, so it’s always skewed,” he says. “But my parents, they don’t know what life is anymore. My friends are like, ‘Dude, my For You page is ruined. I can’t go on the Internet.’ And I’m like, ‘All right, dude.’ ”

The trio went back to Calgary, where they filmed the series, for the premiere screening on Dec. 6. “I was so happy to have watched it with an audience, to hear them laugh, and to watch it with you guys,” Gentry tells his castmates. "I remember leaning over to Nikki during one scene and I was like, ‘You ate that scene.’ ”

LaLonde found it “really hard to set an expectation for something like this, because it’s my first time having anything like this,” he says.

“You know what I was thinking about the other day? I was like, if I were to try to describe to someone what this feels like, I honestly think the easiest way to do that would be [to say], ‘It is exactly as crazy as you would think it would be,’ ” says Gentry.

When the cast first read the script for the finale episode, “We freaked out!” says Gentry. “Oh my God, we freaked out.”

Returning to Calgary for the screening felt like “such a full-circle moment” for Rodriguez. “The crew was there, and it was a really, really nice feeling. And we all were like, ‘OK, that’s it.’ And then the show came out!”

“God, how do we even begin?” Gentry wonders aloud, when asked how the Walter Boys cast came up with their group chat name, “Pickle Rick Owens.”

Gentry’s favorite scene to film was the charged fight between Cole and Alex in the theater room in Episode 7. “We really got to play off each other,” he says. “And we got to wrestle, which was fun.”

LaLonde loved filming his and Rodriguez’s tension-filled fight scene in the rain at the end of Episode 7. “Getting to have that experience with her, where we had only each other to lean into because no one else is going through it exactly the way we are — that’s when you put all of your trust in your scene partner,” he says. “And you just exist right there and right now. I’ll never forget it.”

The Walter Boys cast is more than ready to find out what happens next in Season 2 after Jackie “straight up runs from all of her problems, which is honestly so relatable,” says Rodriguez. “Mood, right?” Gentry asks. “Mood with a capital M,” LaLonde agrees.

What does coming back for Season 2 mean to the My Life with the Walter Boys cast? “Everything,” says Rodriguez.
