Suits Alum Sarah Rafferty: My TV Goal Now Is to ‘Not Do the Moms Dirty'
In addition to wrangling a sizable herd of fictional sons on Netflix's My Life With the Walter Boys, Sarah Rafferty says her role as Walter family matriarch Katherine includes being 'hypervigilant' about the way mothers are portrayed in popular media. The young adult series follows Jackie, a 15-year-old girl who abruptly relocates to Colorado from New York City after her family dies in a car accident. Rafferty's character, who was Jackie's mother's best friend, brings the grieving girl to live with her large family out west.

Season 2 is slated for release sometime in 2025. 'It's a family show that a lot of parents are watching with their kids,' Rafferty explained at the recent Women's Health Summit in Los Angeles, organized by our sister site Flow Space. And because multiple generations are paying attention, 'I'm pretty hypervigilant about making sure we get away from any kind of tropes that undermine women.'

'A director was just, she just had to get on with the day, and she was being really quick,' Rafferty said. 'But she was like, 'Respond to Mom like Mom's the scary one, and like Dad's the fun one.' …I was like, 'Let's not do that.'' She went on to say that, while making the Netflix drama, she's been involved in 'really great conversations on set about how to represent the moms that are spinning all the plates.' And after her nine-season run in USA Network's glossy, highly stylized Suits, 'What I think is important now for me to bring to this character is that she's a mom, she's a vet, she's got all these adopted and biological kids, and it's messy, and she gets it wrong sometimes,' the actress added. 'There's opportunities, in getting it wrong, for repair.' She acknowledged that that type of verisimilitude isn't always what networks want. 'But if I could just find moments of realness to just not do the moms dirty,' she said, 'that motivates me.'

Everything We Know About ‘My Life With The Walter Boys' Season 2 So Far
More wrangling of the Walter Boys by one Jackie Howard (Nikki Rodriguez) and their mother Katherine (Sarah Rafferty) lies in store as the second season of the popular YA Netflix series My Life With the Walter Boys is on its way. Netflix swiftly renewed the show for another installment after Season 1 arrived at the end of 2023. The second season recently entered production.

Yes! Season 2 has officially wrapped production in Calgary, Canada. Returning series regulars in addition to Rodriguez and Rafferty include Marc Blucas, who plays Katherine's husband George, Noa LaLonde who plays Cole Walter, Ashby Gentry who plays Alex Walter, Connor Stanhope (Danny Walter), Johnny Link (Will Walter), Corey Fogelmanis (Nathan Walter) and Jaylan Evans (Skylar Summerhill).

Five new recurring cast members for Season 2 include Natalie Sharp (Wilderness), Carson MacCormac (Shazam!), Janet Kidder (Star Trek: Discovery), Riele Downs (Bel-Air) and Jake Manley (The Order). Season 2 recently wrapped production in Canada and is set to premiere in 2025. Showrunner Melanie Halsall will steer Season 2 with Ed Glauser executive producing. Jason Priestly, who directed two episodes in Season 1, will return to direct several episodes in the second season in addition to serving as producer. RELATED: Season 2 will welcome Becky Hartman Edwards, a writer-producer who has worked on Firefly Lane, The Bold Type, Switched at Birth, Parenthood and more, as an executive producer. Although the author of Season 1's source material Ali Novak just announced a sequel book to the novel My Life With the Walter Boys called My Return to the Walter Boys, this book won't serve as a basis for Season 2. The series took a different direction at the end of Season 1 than Novak's novel, which hints at Jackie's return more solidly than the end of the show, as Jackie boards a flight to New York to go back and live there with her Uncle Richard after the complicated love triangle she experiences with two of the Walter brothers. 'When you're making a television series that you want to be returning, you have to make changes from a novel. I wanted to surprise the audience. I wanted to give the audience something a little bit different than they were expecting from the book,' Halsall told Deadline. 'I wanted to leave it open-ended what Jackie was going to do and what boy she was gonna end up with,' Halsall said. 'I've often said that maybe Jackie won't end up with a boy but she'll end up on her own. Maybe that's still the case. It was a deliberate decision to make that change, and I think it was organic to the story.' Halsall envisioned a multiple-season show from the beginning. Rodriguez applauded Jackie for choosing herself at the end of Season 1. 'Jackie's going through a lot and she has really big dreams and goals, and so I really hope for Jackie that she doesn't get too off track and doesn't get too distracted and just remember what she really wants,' she told Deadline. 'Ultimately, no one's gonna look out for you the way that you would. So I think… her choosing herself is really important for people to see, and I kind of applaud Jackie for it to be honest.'
