AceShowbiz - Netflix has officially picked up "13 Reasons Why" for the second season. Executive producer Selena Gomez announces the renewal to her Instagram followers, "Their story isn't over. Season 2 of #13ReasonsWhy is coming."
While the first season revolves around the revelation of the reason behind Hannah Baker's (Katherine Langford) suicide, the second one will pick up in the aftermath of her death and the start of the characters' complicated journeys toward healing and recovery.
Based on Jay Asher's novel of the same name, it was initially meant for big screen with Gomez on the lead role before it was turned into a web series. The show got mixed reviews. Some critics loved it for its daring depiction of high school dramas while others criticized it for glorifying teen suicide. Netflix later added trigger warnings due to its dark look at rape and suicide.
