13 Reasons Why Season 2 is still in the development mode in the writers' room and the executive producer of the show Selena Gomez already dropped juicy spoilers about the upcoming season.
The 24-year-old singer opened up and offered some more insights on the upcoming season in a recent interaction with Seattle's Movin' 92.5 radio station. She said she has visited the writers' room recently and the lot are working really hard on the script. "I think for season 2, we elaborate more on some of those questions and the stories and the resolution, if you will, of what some of these kids have gone through so — and are going through.
I was in the writers' room the other day, and they're working so hard, and it's going to come together. I was sitting there at the table, like, 'Wait, what happened?!' Almost like freaking out." (Although Selena did not say what exactly excited her)
The series drew flak for showing graphic visuals of Hannah's suicide.
"I'm so excited for season 2. I think it's going to be so exciting because you know, I didn't expect the first to be as loud, if you will? I didn't expect it to have the reaction that it did, Selena said. "It was amazing, and it was complicated, and there was a lot of stuff that came with it, and I understood what that meant."
13 Reasons Why Season 1, based on the novel Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher, revolves around Hannah Baker (Katherine Langford), a high school junior, who commits suicide. Her act leaves everyone stunned. And Hannah leaves behind a series of vintage cassette tapes, which will eventually provide clues to why she ended her life — and who's to be blamed.
Her classmate Clay, who had a crush on her, receives a shoe box full of cassette tapes. Hannah explains 13 reasons behind her decision to take the extreme step on the tapes. She also gives references of 13 people. The series aired in March 2017.
