6. WE’LL LEARN WHAT TYLER IS PLOTTING
Another one of Season 1’s cliffhangers involved student photographer Tyler (Devin Druid), who was seen purchasing a gun and opening a case of explosives in the finale. After being exposed for stalking Hannah and getting shut out by other students at school, it’s clear that Tyler is in a dark place.
But will he actually end up hurting his classmates or himself? “We’re going to answer all of the burning questions that people have about [the show],” Yorkey told EW about Season 2. “Is Tyler going to do something? What’s going to happen to Alex? Will Bryce be brought to justice? We’re going to answer those questions but I think, even more, we’re going to continue to look very truthfully and very honestly at what they go through, even when it’s painful at times.”
7. THE CASSETTE TAPES ARE OFFICIALLY DONE
The audio cassettes that Hannah left behind obviously played a huge role in Season 1, but don’t expect a second round of tapes to show up in Season 2. According to Yorkey, the sophomore season of the show will feature another type of technology.
“There is a different sort of analog technology that plays a hugely important role in season 2,” he said, per EW. “So the cassette tapes aren’t at the center of it — those two boxes of tapes are still hanging around and matter to people — but there will be a new piece of technology for 13-year-olds to Google and try to understand what it was.”
8. HANNAH’S PARENTS WILL LEARN THE TRUTH BEHIND HANNAH’S DEATH
At the end of Season 1, Hannah’s parents, Andy (Brian d’Arcy James) and Olivia Baker (Kate Walsh), finally receive the tapes that Hannah left behind. After months of questioning why their daughter would take their own life, the couple will be left to confront the truth about what was plaguing Hannah in her last few years of life.
The cassette tapes will also be a major factor in determining the lawsuit they were pursuing against the school will go to trial. “There’s the trial still with Hannah’s parents suing the school district, which happens more often than you’d think,” Yorkey told THR. “To find out who is responsible for what happened to her is really interesting.”
9. SEASON 2 WON’T NECESSARILY BE MORE CENSORED
Season 1 got some backlash for its graphic depictions of suicide and rape. In response, Netflix added more trigger warnings to the series, including an additional disclaimer before the first episode.
Despite the controversy, Yorkey maintains there’s a certain importance to highlighting the graphic details of these scenes and suggests he isn’t planning on toning anything down in Season 2. “It should be difficult to watch,” he explained. “If we make it easy, then we’re selling goods that we didn’t want to sell.”
10. THE PREMIERE DATE
he sophomore season of 13 Reasons Why is expected to hit Netflix sometime in 2018, although an exact release date has yet to be confirmed. Like the previous season, Season 2 will consist of a total of 13 episodes.
