My Life With the Walter Boys

The path of true love never runs smooth, especially in Silver Falls. The last time we saw the Walters, Jackie (Nikki Rodriguez) and Cole (Noah LaLonde) finally confessed their love for each other, only for Jackie’s boyfriend — and Cole’s brother — Alex (Ashby Gentry) to overhear. But their conversation was interrupted when Walter family patriarch George (Marc Blucas) was rushed to the hospital. Season 3 sees the Walters realize what’s important in the aftermath — and discover that it’s OK to go after what you want. With their love lives still hanging in the balance, Alex turns to his new rodeo team, and Cole gets back in the driver’s seat of his life — literally — when a race car driver sees potential in him. Meanwhile, Jackie pours her heart into developing the town’s community space. But when a childhood friend arrives from New York, the life she left behind proves harder to forget than she expected.

A Different World

A Different World returns to Hillman College with a new class stepping onto campus — and beloved faces coming home. At the center is Deborah Wayne (Maleah Joi Moon), Whitley Gilbert (Jasmine Guy) and Dwayne Wayne’s (Kadeem Hardison) lovingly sheltered youngest daughter, a free spirit with a flair for the spotlight and a big heart who’s still figuring out her own path at Hillman.

Along the way, she’s joined by a new generation that reflects the breadth of Black life on campus: Rashida Duvall (Alijah Kai), a first‑gen criminal justice major; Shaquille Johnson (Cornell Young IV), a five‑star athlete choosing legacy; Amir Rodale (Jordan Aaron Hall), a sharp psych major better at fixing everyone else’s problems than facing his own; Hazel Henry (Kennedi Reece), a church‑raised small‑town girl defining her own values; and Kojo Achebe (Chibuikem Uche), a Ghanaian Nigerian fashion entrepreneur finding the courage to follow his vision. Legacy favorites also return, including Whitley, Dwayne, Freddie Brooks (Cree Summer), and Ron Johnson (Darryl M. Bell).
