Before Boots was even renewed for season 2, Netflix hinted at which stars will - and won't - return. The scripted series, based on Greg Cope White's memoir, premiered in October and follows Cameron (Miles Heizer) as he joins the U.S. Marine Corps alongside his best friend Ray (Liam Oh) during the 1990s, the era of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy regarding LGBTQ+ service members.
