-Naveen Paddock (Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, Anything’s Possible) plays “Eliot” – Handsome and charming with an air of New York sophistication, Eliot is Uncle Richard’s new intern whose arrival in Silver Falls leaves Jackie in a tug-of-war between her old life and new one.

-Erin Karpluk (Being Erica, Smoke) plays “Hannah”- George’s nomadic sister and mother of Isaac and Lee, Hannah is a free spirit or irresponsible as hell (take your pick). She previously left her sons to live with the Walters and then split for reasons unknown, but when she suddenly shows up at the front door a thousand days later, she has a lot of bridges to rebuild.

Season 3 of the series, which recently wrapped production in Calgary, Canada, will debut on Netflix in 2026

Series Regulars: Nikki Rodriguez, Sarah Rafferty, Marc Blucas, Noah LaLonde, Ashby Gentry, Connor Stanhope, Jaylan Evans

Season 2 of the teen drama spent 5 weeks in Netflix’s Global English Top 10 TV List and reached the Top 10 in 85 countries.

Season 2 Synopsis: After leaving Silver Falls following Alex’s love confession and her kiss with Cole, Jackie Howard spent the summer in New York City. When Katherine convinces her to return to Colorado, Jackie is determined to make amends with Alex and set boundaries with Cole while finding her place within the Walter family. But fitting back in isn’t that easy. Alex – who changed a lot over the summer – isn’t too thrilled about Jackie’s attempts to reconnect, as he’s focused on training for a risky rodeo event (and enjoying all of the new attention he’s getting). Meanwhile, Cole takes on a new role at school, but when that doesn’t quite fill the void left by not playing football, his old ways creep back in and cause drama. As Jackie gains acceptance in Silver Falls while trying to hold onto her Howard identity, she’s forced to make a choice that could destroy everything she’s worked to rebuild.

Showrunner / Executive Producer: Melanie Halsall

#FIRSTLOOK: NETFLIX IN YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD ADDS NEW LOCATION SHARES – DECEMBER 2025

We are thrilled to share the addition of six Canadian-filmed Netflix movies and shows to the Netflix in Your Neighbourhood / Netflix chez vous websites. The update, which went live today, features the newly released western drama The Abandons, the hit Canadian limited series Wayward, holiday movies My Secret Santa and A Merry Little Ex-Mas, the new rom-com The Wrong Paris, and Guillermo del Toro’s critically acclaimed film adaptation Frankenstein. All of these productions were filmed across Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta, with several towns making their debut on the Netflix in Your Neighbourhood site, including Guelph and North Bay, Ontario; Kamloops, British Columbia; and Seebe, Alberta.

Just in time for the holidays, a recent Netflix poll revealed nearly half of Canadians with Netflix (45%) admitting they want to spend the holiday time during December indulging in their favourite shows, films and festive treats. But that’s not all: half of Canadians (50%) confess to sneaking away from family gatherings to catch up on Netflix during the holidays. So fans can be sure they won’t be alone if they spend the holidays cozying up with new holiday hits My Secret Santa, A Merry Little Ex-Mas, or any of the other films and shows filmed across Canada.

More about the newly added productions:

THE ABANDONS – Washington Territory – 1854 – The matriarchs of two very different families — one of wealth and privilege bound by blood, the other a found family of orphans and outcasts bound by love and necessity — find their fates linked by two crimes, an awful secret, a star-crossed love, and a piece of land with silver underneath. The collision echoes the American struggle of the haves and have-nots, in a place just beyond the reach of justice. This dramatic western series was shot in Seebe and Mînî Thnî, Alberta, both newly added filming locations on the website.

WAYWARD – Nothing is what it seems in Tall Pines. After an escape attempt from an academy for “troubled teens”, two students join forces with a newly local police officer, unearthing the town’s dark and deeply rooted secrets. This captivating thriller was shot in Dundas, Millbrook, Milton, Guelph, Ashburn and Mississauga, Ontario.

MY SECRET SANTA – A vivacious single mom in need of a job decides to disguise herself as a man in order to get hired as the seasonal Santa at a luxury ski resort. But when she starts to fall in love with the hotel manager, complications develop that could ruin everything. My Secret Santa was shot in Sun Peaks and Kamloops, British Columbia.

A MERRY LITTLE EX-MAS – A recently divorced woman attempts to have one last Christmas with her family before selling the house and moving, but complications arise when her ex-husband brings his amazing new girlfriend into the holiday mix. This holiday rom-com was filmed in Hillsburgh, Glen Williams and Unionville, Ontario.

THE WRONG PARIS – A young woman joins a dating show thinking it’s in Paris, France, but it’s actually in Paris, Texas. She plots a way to get eliminated until her unexpected feelings for the bachelor complicate her plans. The Wrong Paris was filmed in Agassiz and North Vancouver, British Columbia.

FRANKENSTEIN – Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro adapts Mary Shelley’s classic tale of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but egotistical scientist who brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation. This highly awaited film was shot in North Bay and Toronto, Ontario.

Jackie leaves behind her privileged and proper life in New York and moves to rural Colorado to be with her guardian – her mother’s best friend, Katherine, who is raising ten kids with her husband, George. While settling into her new, chaotic countryside home, Jackie is determined to stay focused on her dream of getting into Princeton…all while wrapping her head around her feelings for two very different Walter brothers: the reliable and bookish Alex, and the mysterious and troubled Cole. As Jackie tries to navigate her new life, the feelings and tensions she tries to deny threaten to throw everything off course. Will she be able to stay true to herself and still find romance?
