A new series shot in Alberta lands on Netflix later this week

Keep your eyes peeled for some streets you may recognize — a new Netflix series shot in Alberta is making its debut on the streaming service later this week.

My Life with the Walter Boys is an upcoming Netflix Original coming-of-age series based on the 2014 novel by the same name from author Ali Novak, with the 10-episode order filmed in Calgary and surrounding areas.

The series follows 15-year-old Manhattanite Jackie Howard, who has to learn to adapt to a new life in rural Colorado with her guardian and 10 very rowdy kids, following the loss of her family in a tragic accident.
