Jesikah Suggs Dies at 32, Writer-Co-Producer of Netflix’s ‘My Life With The Walter Boys’

Jesikah Suggs, a writer and co-producer for Netflix’s My Life With The Walter Boys, died at her home in Studio City, California, on Tuesday, Aug. 18. She was 32. Suggs’ family announced her death, citing an eight-year battle with breast cancer.

Suggs was credited as a co-producer and writer on the Netflix series, which debuted as a coming-of-age drama focused on a teenage household and the pressures that shape young relationships. Her work placed her within the show’s core creative team, contributing scripts and day-to-day production support as the series developed.

According to the announcement published by Deadline, Suggs was born March 2, 1994, in Dallas, Texas. The report also described her as a sister and frequent writing partner, underscoring that her screenwriting career included collaborative work within her family.

Deadline reported that Suggs’ death followed years of treatment and a long period of illness management, beginning roughly eight years before her passing. The publication did not provide additional details about her medical course beyond that timeline.

No public statement from Netflix or the Walter Boys production team was included in the initial report, and it was not clear from the coverage whether Suggs was credited on any specific episodes beyond her series role as co-producer and writer. Her family’s announcement served as the primary public information for the circumstances of her death.

My Life With The Walter Boys is part of Netflix’s scripted lineup, where individual writers and producers generally handle both creative development and production responsibilities, including shaping characters, structuring story arcs, and coordinating with directors and other members of the writing staff. Suggs’ passing removes a creative lead from the series’ ongoing team environment.

In the wake of the news, attention is likely to focus on how production credits are finalized and how the show’s staff will address Suggs’ absence, as well as on any post-production work that may have been underway around the time she died. Any additions to official credits or formal tributes typically come through studio or platform announcements after internal confirmations.
