There is no doubt that “#13 Reasons Why” is the most highly-anticipated and most talked about series this year. Despite its recent conclusion, fans are still urging the creators to release the second installment immediately. As per sources, the upcoming season of the show will finally provide some answers to the questions viewers were left with at the end of last season. Moreover, viewers are curious as to how the show will move forward despite the fact that its main character is already dead.
'13 Reasons Why' and Hannah Baker
It can be recalled that during the first season of "13 Reasons Why," the show focused on the life of Hannah Baker and how she wanted to end it.
She decided to leave a series of tapes that would explain the reasons why she ended her life intentionally. Baker blamed the people around her and even tagged them as ex-friends and rapists. At the end of the installment, the reason behind her death was getting clearer and clearer. And, despite the fact that questions are still being raised currently, rumors speculate that there will be no more Hannah Baker for “13 Reasons Why” Season 2.
Brian Yorkey and Katherine Langford’s POV
However, the rumors were easily debunked, as showrunner Brian Yorkey and Katherine Langford admitted that Hannah would be back for season two in some capacity. As per Yorkey, Hannah’s story is not yet over despite her death.
He also reiterated that the first installment of the series only gave a glimpse of Hannah’s side, while the side of the other students was not yet fully explored. He further explained that there is still a lot of Hannah’s story to tell in this upcoming season.
On the other hand, Katherine Langford admitted that viewers would witness some flashbacks in the life of Hannah Baker.
Not just that, she also reiterated that there are parts of the character’s life that remain unsolved and are still a mystery. As she stated:
“…We haven’t really gone into that much detail but I know that we’re going to continue that dialogue and keep developing the story.” (Forbes).
More than one narrator for '13 Reasons Why' season 2
Meanwhile, hints stating that there would be more than one narrator in this installment have been spreading. As per Langford, it would be more interesting if Skye, Jessica or Alex is the chosen narrator for the upcoming season. Either way, fans are certainly eager for the continuation of the story, no matter who is narrating.
