Katherine Langford Reveals Her '13 Reasons Why' Audition

We’ve all heard the stories on the mission to cast Hannah Baker for Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why, and Katherine Langford came just at the right time.

In a recent interview, the Australian actress revealed just how she auditioned for the part — which ended being her first ever part in her first ever show.

“I had just started taking my first screen acting classes the year before when I turned 18, and at the end of that year, I signed with my US managers,” she starts.


Katherine recalled that she had already tested for two other network projects that she didn’t get.

“I had given up drama school to go and test for them, so I was back home in Perth with no job, trying to figure out what I was going to do with my year,” she adds.

“That’s when the audition came through. I put down a tape, one thing led to another, and they cast me.”

13 Reasons Why is currently filming season two.
