The first season of "13 Reasons Why" left fans in need of more, and finally after a lot of speculation, executive Producer Selena Gomez officially announced the 2nd season via Instagram. She announced it through a trailer that featured the most iconic locations of the first season. By taking into account that it takes around 12 months for a Netflix show to be written and filmed, a release date in the beginning of Spring 2018 is what fans are speculating. The storyline of the second season will take place a couple of months after the ending of the first season.

Although she will go back to school and hopefully recover from what happened to her, fans still want to see Bruce get what he deserves.
Who shot Alex?
The actor who plays Alex, Miles Heizer, suggested that a suicide attempt was far more likely than a murder, because there were a lot of similarities and warning signs to look for between his character and Hannah's. Whereas Alex survived, in order to appear in the next season, the odds are in the fans' favor. We still have not seen the end of Alex.
