'My Life with the Walter Boys' season 2 trailer is here with more love triangle drama
The finale saw our plucky protagonist dealing with not only a love confession by Alex Walter (Ashby Gentry) but also a smooch from his brother, Cole (Noah LaLonde).
No wonder Jackie took off for New York City to clear her head and her heart, as seen in the official trailer for the second season of the coming-of-age drama, which is set to be released on Thursday, August 28 on the streaming service.
Netflix dropped a first look at the new episodes that shows Rodriguez's character back on the busy streets of Manhattan for summer, understandably with quite a lot on her mind. 'I spent all summer spiraling about how and why I left,' we hear via voiceover. 'I don't belong anywhere anymore.'
However, Katherine Walter (Sarah Rafferty) — the best friend of Jackie's late mother — assures her that she belongs back in Silver Falls, Colorado, where Katherine, her husband George (Marc Blucas) and their children (including Alex and Cole) live. So off to Colorado Jackie goes, where she will contend with a newly glowed-up Alex as well as his equally appealing bro.
Actor Ashby Gentry recently discussed Alex's "story of discovery" in season 2 with People magazine: 'Alex was 15 in season 1 and he's 16 in the second season, and they go through all of those experiences that kids go through for the first time. A lot of season 1 was a novel experience, whereas season 2, at least for Alex, is a story of discovery."
'They're trying to figure out who they are and where they fit in the world and what do they want with each other, with everything that lies beyond high school and the greater scheme of life,' he continued of the characters. 'It's slightly more intense, as I've said, and it's really about them trying new things.'

The 25-year-old performer also discussed how Alex will navigate his feelings toward Jackie in the new eps, saying his character "doesn't know how to handle what happened and is figuring out how to handle that. And he tries new things, and some of them work and some of them don't. There are two tragedies in life, either you don't get what you want or you get exactly what you want, and Alex experiences both in season 2."
Tom's Guide will keep you posted on all things related to "My Life with the Walter Boys," not only with the second season but the third as well, which has already been greenlit by Netflix ahead of the season 2 premiere later this summer.

Love retro smartphones? This leaker is turning old iPhones into art
Sonny Dickson is known for leaking the latest information about upcoming smartphones. We've covered several Sonny leaks on Tom's Guide over the years, and his track record is quite solid. But Dickson isn't just here to spill the beans about upcoming phones. He's also a fan of the past, which is why his new product, called Collectible Phones, is designed to take discarded smartphones from the past and transform them into art. As soon as I saw the first framed phone, I had to know more about the project. I did some digging and found that it's not just about making art, but there's a "commitment to sustainability" motivating the project. We generate a significant amount of e-waste, so finding a way to repurpose old phones is beneficial. It could introduce a whole new item to collect — people collect retro games and other old tech, so why not phones? I asked Dickson what inspired him to start the project. "Everything I saw on the market just wasn't very good, poor layouts, low-quality parts, or sloppy presentation," he said in an interview with Tom's Guide. "I knew I could create something that truly celebrated the technology and history of these devices, with the quality and attention to detail they deserved." Currently, the website has a deconstructed original iPhone for sale. It's a conversation piece to have on the wall, and it gives you a little history of the first iPhone. Every detail, from the dimensions to the specs of the camera, is laid out. If you've ever wanted to take an original iPhone apart but were too afraid to, this $349 art piece is worth a look. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. And it's not just the art pieces — Dickson's website features a wide selection of vintage phones for sale, all of which are fully intact and in good condition. You can get an original iPhone, the T-Mobile G1, the first Android phone and more. The prices are reasonable for these phones, with the G1 selling for only $167. But these phones aren't easy to find, as Dickson says that getting them is "extremely hard, especially if you're looking for perfect back housings and original components in great condition." As soon as you start talking about collecting, you have to think about rarity. Every collectible item, from trading cards to Funko Pops, has its value connected to rarity. If collecting old phones takes off, some devices are going ot be harder to come by than others. "The 4GB iPhone 2G is one of the rarest. It was only on the market for a short time before Apple replaced it with the 8GB version. Finding one in pristine condition can feel like hunting for some sort of treasure," said Dickson regarding the rarest phone. If you have one of those kicking around your home, you may have a piece of history that not everyone can get their hands on.

Why the End of Meghan Markle & Prince Harry's Netflix Deal Isn't the Bombshell You Think It Is
The story about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's $100 million Netflix deal was bound to have the U.K. tabloids salivating — they've been waiting for this day. But beneath the negativity is a reality that many in Hollywood are facing, and it's not a Sussex issue. On July 23, The Sun kicked off the news that the royal duo's deal would end permanently in September. 'The deal is done; no more shows will be made,' an insider told the publication. 'Netflix feels they've got all they can from the couple.' The source noted that while the Harry & Meghan docuseries was a big success, 'the content got weaker from there.' More from SheKnows Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Promised Fans a Netflix Romantic Drama - So Where Is It? The streamer's July 17 Engagement Report showed that Prince Harry's Polo docuseries was a bomb while his wife's lifestyle show, With Love, Meghan, found middle ground with viewers. Still, Netflix is in business with the Duchess of Sussex for her As Ever brand products, which still makes her valuable to the network. While the British media wants to make the deal termination all about Meghan and Harry, the truth is more about the finances of Hollywood in 2025. Netflix is no longer entering into massive, big-budget production deals with stars. As People pointed out, Barack and Michelle Obama found their massive contract morph into a standard first-look agreement. The Sun insider also noted the duo's current relationship with the streamer, 'There's no animosity from either side. Things have just run their course.' Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos has been a big cheerleader for the Sussexes, and it is likely that their relationship will continue on a smaller basis. Still, the second season of With Love, Meghan will likely need to show some ratings improvements in order to nab a third season pickup. Sarandos explained what Netflix is looking for from all of their series at the Fast Company Innovation Festival in New York City in September 2024 — he's a big fan of transparency. 'Put the number out there so that talent can see it, so that agents can see it, so that the press can see it, and know what's a hit and what's a miss,' he said, per Deadline. So, don't be misled by Prince Harry and Meghan headlines; their deal is the result of the economic downsizing of Hollywood. It makes more sense for Netflix to do a one-off deal with them instead of an oversized Hollywood contract.

Why Meghan Markle & Prince Harry's New Netflix Deal Is Being Described as a ‘Downgrade'
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are officially continuing their relationship with Netflix, but it has a new name. Long gone is the $100 million deal they nabbed in 2020; in comes a fresh term: 'creative partnership.' The Hollywood Reporter described the multiyear, first-look deal as a 'downgrade,' but it is the same contract they gave Barack and Michelle Obama after their initial production deal ran out. The one notable aspect of the new partnership is that neither power couple is exclusively tied to Netflix — they can take their work elsewhere if the streamer passes. More from SheKnows Meghan Markle's Minimalist Royal Style Has a New Fan - And It's Not Kate Middleton Meghan is also staying in business with the streaming network for her As Ever brand. 'We're proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to include the As Ever brand,' Markle said in a statement to the media outlet. 'My husband and I feel inspired by our partners who work closely with us and our Archewell Productions team to create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally and celebrates our shared vision.' The Aug. 11 announcement was not surprising, and SheKnows even predicted that it would work out this way for the Sussexes in July. The British tabloids will try to spin this as a failure, when in reality, Hollywood is tightening up their budgets due to the rough economy, and Netflix isn't doing massive production deals anymore. Netflix sounds happy to be in business with Meghan and Harry, describing them as 'influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere,' in a statement. The Sussexes even have a list of projects to come with the network, including Season 2 of With Love, Meghan, their romantic feature film, Meet Me at the Lake, and a short documentary, Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within. The news about Harry and Meghan aligns with what Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos has been saying all along because he is one of their biggest cheerleaders in Hollywood. 'We're a passive partner in Meghan's company, and it's a big discovery model for us right now,' Sarandos told Variety in March. 'I think Meghan is underestimated in terms of her influence on culture. When we dropped the trailer for the Harry & Meghan doc series [in 2022], everything on-screen was dissected in the press for days.' He continued, 'The shoes she was wearing sold out all over the world. The Hermès blanket that was on the chair behind her sold out everywhere in the world. People are fascinated with Meghan Markle. She and Harry are overly dismissed.' Harry and Meghan are still in business, so every critic who predicted their demise might need to find a new narrative.
