13 Reasons Why just premiered at the end of March, but could there be a second season? Recently, author Jay Asher spoke with Entertainment Weekly about a possible season two for the Netflix series.
Based on Asher’s book of the same name, the young adult drama follows Clay Jensen (Dylan Minnette), who receives a mysterious box of tapes from his recently deceased classmate and former crush, Hannah Baker (Katherine Langford). The cast also includes Kate Walsh, Brain D’Arcy James, Derek Luke, Brandon Flynn, Justin Prentice, Alisha Boe, Tommy Dorfman and Christian Navarro.
In the interview, Asher said he’s interested in following up 13 Reasons Why:
I’d just like a continuation of all those characters. I’m curious as well. What happens to Clay? How do people react to what Alex did at the very end? What’s going to happen to Mr. Porter? I’d thought of a sequel at some point. I’d brainstormed it, but decided I wasn’t going to write it. So I’d love to see it.”
Later, Asher explained that a second season is possible even though the first season wasn’t intentionally left open-ended:
Things weren’t left open in the hopes of a sequel… There is no end for the characters left behind. Every action we have is going to have repercussions in ways we could not anticipate. You realize that with not just what Hannah did, but also how other people treated Tyler throughout it. It’s the whole message of the book. Of course, there’s obviously ways to go with a second season if they do that.”
What do you think? Have you seen 13 Reasons Why? Do you want a second season?
I think that there should be a second season. I feel like the character were left by a loved one and we didnt see what they fully did. Its a powerful story that should keep on going.
Yes There should be definitely season two I just couldn’t stop watching this show I watch the whole season in two days I was Binge Watching it it was very addictive and there’s a very good lesson to be learned here especially high school life and the such and how you deal with peers and peer pressure and I also want to find out what happened to clay and what did everybody react about Alex I hope they decide on a season two Netflix I can’t wait Will they have the same cast ?
My granddaughter just set me onto this show last week. I haven’t started watching but will be there soon. I am the survivor of five close suicides so it will be interesting to see how I react as an older adult. It is a subject that seriously needs more exposure & discussion. It still blows me away how many folks think this is an appropriate decision to hard knocks. We must improve & encourage each others strength. Thus I am sure a second season would be more than appreciated.
Definitely should be a second season. It’s a powerful story that can teach many lessons other than suicide and how to treat people. The cliffhangers can be continued and I think a lot of people would watch
I very much want a 2nd season. I think there are many more stories to tell & everyone involved with this series has done excellent work. I trust them to continue.
I appreciate the first season and I think that it does a great job relaying the message of the effects of bullies and how devastating our actions and reactions can be to others.
I would like a second season that could somehow use the same premise as the first season to teach people how to overcome and mend the conscious and subconscious bully mentality that we have developed in our society.
Is that a typo in the second quote, “weren’t,” be cause you explain Asher left things open; just curious. Thanks.
