Spoilers for My Life with the Walter Boys season 3 ahead.
If you watched My Life with the Walter Boys season 3 with the hope that Jackie (Nikki Rodriguez) and Cole (Noah LaLonde) would be more loved up than ever before, you were sadly never going to get your wish.
Just before the season finale, Netflix pried the two apart once again, with Cole listening to Jackie’s uncle Richard’s (Alex Quijano) ‘advice,’ and believing that he was holding Jackie back from fulfilling her full potential.
Not only did this leave Jackie rightly heartbroken, but it’s thrust her into the arms of newcomer Eliot (Naveen Paddock), who is all too happy to back Richard’s beliefs up. While Jackie and Eliot move in for their first kiss at the community space launch party, Cole leaves his drag race final to try and win her back.
But before he can, disaster strikes. A mysterious car pulls up while Cole is driving to the party, and we see that it’s the drag racing contestant who Cole left behind in the final.
He’s clearly annoyed that the race has been cancelled, and is looking to take his revenge. Finally, the two cars clip, sending Cole’s car into a nearby field, where it continues to roll.
Heading into the already-renewed My Life with the Walter Boys season 4, Cole has been left for dead. Or has he? I’m convinced that the first details Netflix has revealed about the next season have also confirmed that Cole is still alive.
Noah LaLonde will be returning for My Life with the Walter Boys season 4 — and that’s good news
According to Netflix, actor Noah LaLonde will be returning for season 4, with filming having started in Calgary in May 2026. He’s seen in a new image of him, Rodriguez, and Ashby Gentry (Alex) on set, with the streamer confirming that the trio is “embarking on the next chapter.”
Given that the endgame of the Netflix series is surely to romantically unite Jackie and Cole for good — they just have to go through the worst in order to get there. Frankly, it would be ridiculous for showrunners to kill Cole off completely, especially considering that Alex has finally admitted his feelings for Kiley (Mya Lowe).
Hopefully, Cole’s accident is the catalyst for bringing him back to Jackie, and will allow Jackie to fully forgive Cole for so coldly dumping her during season 3. Then, of course, there’s the question of whether Jackie actually follows through with her kiss with Eliot at the same time that Cole crashes.
I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that she’ll pull away at the last second… but perhaps that’s wishful thinking. It’s certainly a moment that her future relationship with Cole could hinge on, if he pulls through.
There is a worst-case scenario, however. LaLonde could simply be returning to film flashback scenes, or to communicate with Jackie through visions from beyond the grave. It’s not something we can totally rule out, but it certainly would take My Life with the Walter Boys down a much darker route.
But how likely is this? At the moment, it’s far too early to make a call. However, my educated guess is that Cole and Jackie will be just fine in the long run… sometimes, it takes the worst kind of tragedy to realize what you really want.
