‘My Life With the Walter Boys’ Season 3 Tops Netflix TV Charts in Week 2 With 8.7 Million Views

Netflix's "My Life With the Walter Boys" Season 3 surged to the top of the platform's TV chart in its second week, amassing 8.7 million views from August 10. Despite a modest decline from its debut week's peak of 9 million views, the series maintained its position atop the rankings, surpassing "The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare" which had held the top spot for two consecutive weeks.

Season 3 of the YA drama, which chronicles the romantic entanglements of Jackie (Nikki Rodriguez), Cole (Noah LaLonde) and Alex (Ashby Gentry), saw a slight decrease in viewership compared to the second week of last year's Season 2, which garnered 10.9 million views. Together, Seasons 1 and 2 have accumulated over 130 million views since debuting in 2023, placing them within Netflix's global top 10 list for a combined 15 weeks.

In comparison to other YA titles on Netflix, "My Life With the Walter Boys" falls in the middle of the pack. "Ginny & Georgia" Season 3 attracted 17.6 million views in its second week, while "XO, Kitty" Season 3 drew 7.8 million views during the same period. The launch of "My Life With the Walter Boys" comes as Netflix intensifies its focus on YA content, leading up to the conclusion of "Outer Banks" and the debut of series such as "Crew Girl," "The Body" and "Poser."

On the film side, "The Last House" led the charts with 33.5 million views during its second week, following a debut of 27.5 million views. This trend of strong second-week performance has been observed with other films, including "72 Hours" which increased from 22.1 million views in its premiere to 25.1 million views in the second, and "Don’t Say Good Luck," which garnered 8.1 million views. "Extinction" scored 7.4 million views during its debut.
