And Netflix released some serious spoilers on Twitter about what to expect when the show returns.
- There will still be 13 episodes.
- There will be a new narrator, but no word on who yet.
- Hannah will still appear in the series, probs in flashbacks.
- The second season will share other character’s perspectives on Hannah’s story.
- We will hear more from Jessica, Hannah’s former BFF, and season two will explore how she is recovering from losing Hannah and attempting to return to a normal life.
- Absolute villain Bryce will also be back, and according to Netflix, “will hopefully get what’s coming to him.” Not sure what that means yet—but maybe there will be court case after all?
- We’ll also hear more from Alex, Tyler and Hannah’s parents. “We’re going to answer those questions… even more, we’re going to continue to look very truthfully & very honestly at what they go through,” Netflix said in a tweet.
- Get ready for more retro tech. There will be no more tapes, but “there is a different sort of analog technology that plays a hugely important role in season two,” Netflix tweeted.
- This season will take on some broader issues, like the values we are instilled with at an early age. In their statement on what to expect, Netflix said season two will explore “the way we raise boys up into men and the way we treat girls and women in our culture—and what we could do better in both cases.”
- The new story will diverge from Jay Asher’s original book.
My confident excitement for @13ReasonsWhy Season 2 rests in Brian Yorkey and the mind meld we performed a couple years ago. (And that cast!)

13 Reasons Why Season 2 should happen bc it needs to tackle suicide as not an option and there are reasons why you matter

13 Reasons Why Season 2 is unnecessary. They should've left it as it is.
