'13 Reasons Why' Showrunner Previews More Mysteries in Season 2 Coming

'13 Reasons Why' Showrunner Previews More Mysteries in Season 2 Coming

13 Reasons Why just unveiled the brand new trailer for season two and it has us asking so many more questions – which was exactly the point.

Showrunner Brian Yorkey spoke with EW recently about the upcoming season, which premieres next Friday, May 18th, and how the mysteries will open up more conversations and storylines.

“What I love about season 2 is that there are these different pieces to this mystery,” he shares. “The threads of this mystery, like who’s doing this and why and how does it relate to Hannah Baker and how does it relate to what Jessica went through, it all comes together in the later episodes in a way that I think is really satisfying.”

He adds that it “also speaks to some of the underlying themes that we’re talking about like sexual abuse and the endemic nature of sexual abuse and the way institutions sometimes wittingly or unwittingly allow it to continue.”

“I know that people are going to have vastly different feelings about it because that tends to be what happens with our show and that’s also good,” Brian continues about the difference between seasons. “The worst thing we could do in making a season 2 is set about trying to replicate, in any way, the success of season 1.”

The idea this season was to “continue to tell the stories of these characters, have them encounter issues and themes that are relevant to young people today and to do it as truthfully as we could. That was our guiding force.”
