Attention, The Summer I Turned Pretty and The Kissing Booth fans! Netflix’s My Life with the Walter Boys is the newest binge-worthy teen drama to hit streaming—and viewers can't get enough of the young adult romance. The new series is based on Ali Novak’s novel of the same name and revolves around 15-year-old Jackie Howard, whose world is turned upside down when her family dies in a tragic accident.
She’s adopted by her late mother’s friend, Katherine Walter, which forces her to leave life in Manhattan behind for rural Colorado. From moving into a massive family—ten kids, NBD!—to finding herself involved in a love triangle between two brothers, Cole and Alex, Jackie's new life chapter is quite the page-turner.
While you're keeping track of every twist and turn in this teen drama, you may have lost track of all the different Walter kids. (After all, there's a lot of siblings and cousins!) Here's everything you need to know about all the characters' ages and their roles in the Walter family:
Jackie, 15
Played by Nikki Rodriguez, 15-year-old Jackie has big plans for herself: getting A’s in all her AP classes, running her school's events committee, and attending Princeton for college. But when tragedy strikes, she’s forced to move in with the Walters and start a new life in Silver Falls, Colorado, according to Netflix. Jackie's new challenge? Navigating love, overcoming loss, and growing up.
Will, 21
Played by Johnny Link, Will, 21, is the eldest Walter sibling. So it’s no surprise that he's entrusted with showing Jackie the ropes when she arrives at the Walter ranch. Will recently graduated college, now works in real estate, and lives with his fiancée, Hayley, in town, per Netflix.
Cole, 17
Out of all the Walter brothers, Cole, 17, is the one who is most struggling to find himself after an injury ends his football career and derails his dreams of getting a college scholarship, according to Netflix. Played by Noah LaLonde, Cole finds common ground with Jackie as they bond over their recent life changes.

Danny, 17
Danny is Cole's fraternal twin—and they couldn’t be more different. Played by Connor Stanhope, Danny is considerate, thoughtful, and well-read, per Netflix's character description.
Alex, 16
Netflix describes 16-year-old Alex as reliable and bookish. He befriends Jackie quickly once she arrives at the Walters' home, but (perhaps unsurprisingly) he may want to be more than friends. Ashby Gentry brings Alex’s character to life, fully portraying his shy, awkward, yet genuine nature.
Isaac, 16
Played by Issac Arellanes, Issac, 16, and his twin brother Lee are the Walters' cousins. Netflix refers to him as “the lover boy,” but he and Lee, like Jackie, have also dealt with family struggles. The twins' mother left home when they were younger and their dad had recently been deployed.

Lee, 15
Lee, also 16, is a skater who will skate anywhere—including indoors. Played by Myles Vincent Perez, Lee is pretty upset about not living with his father, according to Netflix.
Nathan, 14
Played by Corey Fogelman, Nathan, 14, often has his guitar by his side, per Netflix. Shortly after Jackie’s arrival, the two become running buddies.
Jordan, 12
With aspirations to become a film director, Jordan, 12, always has his camera by his side. Played by Dean Petriw, Jordan also has a pet snake named Rumplesnakeskin, but as seen in the series premeiere, he's not always the best at keeping track of his scaly friend...

Parker, 9
As the only daughter of the Walter family, Parker is a little wary of Jackie joining the household, per Netflix. She loves playing football with her older brother, Cole, and is usually seen in her older brothers’ old clothes. The mischievous 9-year-old is played by Alix West Lefler.
Benny, 5
Played by Lennix James, five-year-old Benny is the youngest of the bunch and, as expected, is full of energy.
