Can the students' secret remain buried in the fourth season of the 13 Reasons Why TV show on Netflix? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like 13 Reasons Why is cancelled or renewed for season five. Netflix and other streaming platforms, however, collect their own data. If you've been watching this TV series, we'd love to know how you feel about the fourth season episodes of 13 Reasons Why here.

I read Jay Asher's 13 Reasons Why not long after it was originally published in 2007. The story about a teenage girl who dies by suicide and leaves behind 13 tapes with her 13 reasons for taking her life, was a very heavy one, but one that I felt Ok reading. I was in my early 20s at the time, older than the main character Hannah Baker, but I couldn't help but feel her pain of wanting to make friends and fall in love and be normal, only to have things constantly knock her down. It was a story with a beginning, a middle, and an end, and I was curious to see how Netflix would handle the adaptation when the story first dropped on the streamer in 2017.

What happened to 13 Reasons Why? It failed its viewers. The Netflix drama based on Jay Asher's book of the same name had a well-received first season chronicling the events that led up to the suicide of Hannah Baker (Katherine Langford), the aftermath and the tapes she left behind with her reasoning. Yes, it courted controversy and tackled taboo subjects like rape, violence and suicide, but at first it seemed like 13 Reasons Why had a grounded story to tell. There was a point to be made. Until the second season. Then the third. And now the fourth and final season. Warning, spoilers for the final season follow. Instead of focusing on one story to tell, 13 Reasons Why tried to tell them all....

We've had to say goodbye to a handful of characters throughout 13 Reasons Why's four seasons. Some hit Liberty High harder than others, and some truths behind the deaths will never be shared. The show's fourth and final season on Netflix wraps up with yet another death of a Liberty High School student that leaves a mark on everyone.
The show has changed a lot since the first season, after Netflix deviated from Jay Asher's novel the show is based on. When Hannah Baker gives her 13 reasons for killing herself, it includes various people in her life who have affected her. Two of her 13 reasons are Justin Foley. He was the first person she connected with when she came to town, but after he snapped a photo up her skirt while they were hanging out and shared it with his obnoxious friends, Hannah was quickly labeled a slut.

13 Reasons Why Season 4 was made official by Netflix last September, setting up what will serve as the final season for the series.
After the series released its third season last year, it became clear that formerly controversial water cooler topic series 13 Reasons Why was running out of reasons to cite, thus putting a finish line firmly on the horizon. While the show typically runs 13 episodes, this final run will contain just 10. However, creator/showrunner/Ep Brian Yorkey remained onboard to see things through.

Netflix has announced the Season 4 renewal of its popular and controversial teen drama “13 Reasons Why,” which will be its last. Be warned: the newly released trailer for Season 3, which will premiere on the platform later this month, spoils a major character death. The show appears to be embracing the dark tone and thriller tropes of “Riverdale” by focusing on a murder mystery plot-line, perhaps in an effort to pivot away from its previous focus on suicide. Netflix has been under intense scrutiny ever since the show premiered in 2017, even removing a graphic suicide scene from the first season finale after facing two years of major backlash.

For many teenagers, high school is a challenging time, and for some, it is traumatic. It's why 13 Reasons Why, Jay Asher's best-selling novel about a 17-year old girl's suicide, has resonated with millions of young people since its publication over a decade ago. With its unflinching depictions of the hurt teens can go through — anxiety, bullying, assault, depression and suicide — it helped lift the stigmas young people increasingly experience growing up today.

The Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators and the group’s executive director are being sued by Thirteen Reasons Why author Jay Asher, alleging they never properly investigated sexual harassment complaints against him and torpedoed his career with false and defamatory statements.
The lawsuit, first reported by the New York Times, was filed in California State Court in Los Angeles and contends that exonerating evidence was ignored by the organization.
Thirteen Reasons Why was a 2007 bestselling book on teenage suicide that later became a cultural phenomenon when it was adopted into a Netflix series.
Asher and illustrator David Diaz were expelled at the same time last year from the writers organization over allegations of sexual harassment.
“Both Jay Asher and David Diaz were found to have violated the Scbwi code of conduct in regard to harassment,” said Lin Oliver, the organization’s executive director, in an email to the Associated Press.

“13 Reasons Why” author Jay Asher has filed a lawsuit against the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators and the writers’ group’s executive director, Lin Oliver, for making what he says are false and defamatory statements about him that have damaged his reputation and career, after he was accused of sexual misconduct last year.
According to the lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court last week and obtained by TheWrap, Oliver issued a statement to the Associated Press last February that said the organization conducted an “investigation” and that Asher was “found to have violated the Scbwi code of conduct in regard to harassment.” The suit says those statements were false and Asher is seeking monetary damages for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Butaccording to Asher’s suit, the Scbwi did not conduct an investigation, and the author did not violate the Scbwi code of conduct.

After what seemed like an eternity of waiting, 13 Reasons Why has finally come back for season two this month. Last year, Netflix's adaptation of the Jay Asher novel captured our full attention, thanks in large part to the cast. While the main characters (save for the parents) are all in high school, the actors are all slightly older than their onscreen counterparts. I wanted to know just how much older, so I did some digging. Here's how the cast compares to their characters in age.

“I was excited to not have to have the book to follow anymore,” reveals Dylan Minnette about the second season of “13 Reasons Why.” The freshman year of this Netflix series was faithfully adapted from Jay Asher‘s bestseller about high schooler Clay Jensen (Minnette), who struggles to come to terms with the suicide of his classmate Hannah (Katherine Langford) as he listens to a series of audio tapes she left behind. “It was an amazing structure for the first season, but I was excited for the show to find its own legs … without the book as a backbone.” Watch our exclusive video interview with Minnette above.

One of the hottest races at the Emmy Awards last year was the limited series category: “Big Little Lies” eventually triumphed, but when your runners-up include “Fargo” and “Feud,” you know it’s a quality race. Quite a shift from the start of the decade, when only two shows, “The Pacific” and “Return to Cranford,” were nominated in 2010. The year before, only “Little Dorrit” and “Generation Kill” earned noms. Things looked so bleak, the category was combined with the TV movie category for a bit. While the two categories still share acting nominees, the limited series category has been back on its own since the 2014 awards.
In recent years, the category has been dominated by big stars who get the appeal of appearing on television without an open-ended commitment. The same applies to off-camera talent; this year alone, filmmakers like David Lynch (“Twin Peaks”), Scott Frank (“Godless”) and Steven Soderbergh (“Mosaic”) have released limited series.

Reed Hastings, Netflix’s chairman and CEO, brushed off criticism of teen-suicide drama “13 Reasons Why” — saying that no one is being forced to tune in to the show.
The Netflix chief was asked about the company’s renewal of “13 Reasons Why” for season 3 Wednesday at its annual shareholders meeting, which was conducted via webcast.
“It is controversial,” Hastings acknowledged. “But nobody has to watch it.” He said “13 Reasons Why” is “engaging content” that “has been enormously popular and successful.”
According to Nielsen estimates, the premiere episode of “13 Reasons Why” season 2 drew 6 million U.S. viewers on connected-tv devices in the first three days of its release (May 18-20). That higher than many recent Netflix original premieres, although it was less than half the turnout for “Stranger Things” second season premiere ep last fall.

(Spoilers ahead for Seasons 1 and 2 of “13 Reasons Why”)
Justin Prentice is nothing like the rapist he plays on Netflix’s teen drama “13 Reasons Why.” In fact, he’s just as angry as you are about his character’s light sentence of three months probation.
Prentice is well aware of all the controversy surrounding “13 Reasons.” Critics say that the show, which was based on Jay Asher’s novel of the same name in Season 1 but ventures beyond the source material for the second season, too realistically depicts the suicide of its main character, Hannah Baker (Katherine Langford). In Season 2, there is a graphic sexual assault scene that caused an uproar online, and the show’s La premiere was canceled after a recent school shooting in Texas because of a thwarted school shooting storyline at the end of the sophomore run.
But Prentice wants viewers to start conversations of their own and “change the world.

Netflix has decided to triple down on “13 Reasons Why.” The streaming service announced Wednesday that it’s ordered a third season of the teen drama that was initially based on the novel of the same name by Jay Asher. Dealing with teenage suicide, the series has come under fire for its controversial treatment of the subject in addition to other issues high school students face today that include bullying, sexual assault, and school shootings. Season 2, in particular, was criticized for the depiction of rape and a foiled school shooting in its finale.
But before diving into where the show can go from there, a note about Netflix’s disturbing timing for this Season 3 announcement. Just the day before, fashion designer and philanthropist Kate Spade had taken her own life, and this was a high-profile suicide that was covered extensively by the media. “13 Reasons Why” is still identified as a show about suicide,...

When Netflix first renewed 13 Reasons Why in 2017, TVLine asked, “Is a second season really necessary?” One year later, following the news that a third season is on the way, we’re done asking. It is not necessary.
Based on Jay Asher’s 2007 novel, the drama’s first season offered an unflinching portrayal of the high school experience, bravely tackling important issues like bullying, depression and consent. Its sophomore season also attempted to confront difficult topics, but with its Polaroid-centric mystery — complete with a black-hooded character running amok through town — it felt more like Pretty Little Liars than a series...

13 Reasons Why, Netflix's adaptation of Jay Asher's bestselling 2007 Ya novel, is a devastating account of what drives a high school student named Hannah Baker to take her own life. The premise for the show is a heartbreaking but interesting one: Clay (played by Dylan Minnette) mysteriously receives a box of 13 cassette tapes from Hannah (Katherine Langford), his classmate and crush who killed herself a few weeks earlier. Each cassette, and each of the show's episodes, reveals a person (aka one of the titular "reasons") she sees as somehow responsible for her eventual decision to commit suicide. Hannah has another classmate, Tony, ensure everyone included on the tapes passes them on to the next person one by one, or else he'll release a copy of them to the public.
Since the reasons range from cruel bullying to rape, it's obvious why the people on the tapes want their secrets to stay under wraps.

Hear ye, hear ye: big, frustrating spoilers for 13 Reasons Why season two below!
By the time you get through all 13 new episodes of 13 Reasons Why's highly anticipated second season, you're going to need a few minutes to just sit. Preferably in silence. Maybe staring at a blank, white wall. That's because, as I'm unhappy to report, most of season two is an arduous slog. It hops from one grim tragedy to the next while struggling to recapture the strength of season one's storytelling, which largely relies on the narrative structure of Hannah's infamous 13 tapes and the classmates who inspired them.
The script's way of getting around that? Creating brand-new flashbacks about Hannah's life before her tragic suicide. Sometimes it works, but in the case of Zach Dempsey's series of revelations about her in episode six, more than a few problems arise.
This time around, without Hannah's narration to guide us,...

If you've already binge-watched the second season of Netflix's 13 Reasons Why, then chances are you've also probably been obsessing over the stellar cast. Season one is a heartbreaking, honest, and beautiful adaptation of Jay Asher's bestselling novel, and featured mostly unknown faces. This time around we're well acquainted with everyone on screen, but just in case you need a refresher about one character in particular, we've got you covered.
In the early episodes of season two, Clay Jensen (Dylan Minnette) strikes up a romance with the tattooed barista at Monet's we briefly met last season: Skye. As it turns out, the actress who plays her is a Hollywood legacy. Sosie Bacon, aka the 26-year-old daughter of Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, is the one responsible for bringing the edgy character to life. Skye is definitely one of our favorites, which makes her disappearing act from season two such a bummer.

Can Katherine Langford (“13 Reasons Why”) upset Millie Bobby Brown (“Stranger Things“) by winning Best Performance in a Show at the MTV Movie and TV Awards? Brown is the defending champion, and these awards are decided by fans voting online, so it would be no surprise if voters are just as fond of her the second time around. That’s what we’re predicting: Brown gets leading odds of 10/11 based on the combined predictions of hundreds of Gold Derby users. But here are four reasons why Langford could upset.
1. “13 Reasons Why” just returned for its second season — “Stranger Things” premiered its second season back in the fall of 2017, while fellow Netflix drama “13 Reasons Why” just returned on May 18, so fans will be watching it right now while they’re voting for the winners. Being so fresh in mind could give Langford a huge boost.

Netflix did an utterly fabulous job adapting 13 Reasons Why for its first season, but like any adaption, some things were lost in translation. Despite Hannah's voiceovers and the extended roles of the supporting characters, not all of Thirteen Reasons Why author Jay Asher's words made it into the series. That's what makes this list of the most highlighted quotes from the book (according to Amazon Kindle) so interesting. These are the passages that people are gravitating toward and wanting to remember. They're almost all from Hannah, but one is a particularly heartbreaking quote from Clay.

“13 Reasons Why” is not a show that shies away from controversial material. The Netflix drama reaches people on a deeply personal level, and that includes executive producer Joy Gorman Wettels, who audibly sniffled when IndieWire brought up a scene from the Season 2 finale.
“Don’t worry about it,” Gorman Wettels said, after an apology. “I mean, it’s an emotional show. It’s really emotional. It ain’t a comedy, you know what I’m saying? But if we didn’t have this level of investment in what we’re doing, you would see it on the screen.”
“13 Reasons Why” chronicles the aftermath of teenage Hannah Baker’s (Katherine Langford) suicide in her small town, and, as Wettels said, it’s most definitely not played for laughs.

Season one of 13 Reasons Why was a difficult watch. Going in to a show that's set out to tell the story of a teenage girl's decision to take her own life, that's sort of a given. But Netflix's adaptation of Jay Asher's 2007 novel was also rewarding in its own way. It was compelling, anchored by standout performances from Dylan Minnette, Kate Walsh, and breakout star Katherine Langford, especially.

NetflixThe absence of Hannah Baker is palpable, although the series is high on drama and loaded with relevant topics. But the real question is - Is it worth it?Hemanth Kumar C R*Spoilers ahead In 2017, when Brian Yorkey’s adaptation of Jay Asher’s bestselling novel Thirteen Reasons Why made its debut on Netflix, it was an instant hit across the world. The series delved into the life of Hannah Baker, a student at Liberty High School, and her struggle to find love and relationships, left a long-lasting impression. It wasn’t just yet another teenage drama about how hard life at high school is - 13 Reasons Why did not just underline the trials and tribulations of a young woman, grappling with loneliness and heartbreak, but was also a scathing commentary on the bullying and systematic lack of failure to address the issue that has taken a toll on thousands of students across the globe. The first season followed the journey of Hannah, as she explains several reasons and introduces people at her school who were either partially or directly responsible for her suicide. However, it never found its closure and towards the end of the series, we are left with quite a few questions - will Hannah’s parents sue the school for their negligence or will they reach a settlement? How will Clay Jensen, a friend of Hannah's, come to terms with everything that Hannah confessed in her tapes? Who’s responsible for Hannah’s suicide? The second season of the Netflix series delves into all these questions and tries to weave an elaborate story behind the toxic culture in Liberty High School. In the process, it veers far away from the original story to give a wholesome picture of the events that led to Hannah’s suicide. One of the reasons why 13 Reasons Why (Season 1) worked so well is that it made us sympathise instantly with Hannah Baker, played by Katherine Langford. Her loneliness in a world filled with people who are mean and opportunistic couldn’t be more stark, but more than that, it was about a young girl questioning her faith in people around her. Except for Clay Jensen (Dylan Minnette), who loved her unconditionally, Hannah’s tryst with her fellow students almost always ended in a tragic way. After portraying Hannah Baker as a victim, the second season shifts its focus on the students on the tapes and slowly, we begin to realise that there was more to Hannah’s story than what she revealed in the tapes. We are told that she was still in touch with Justin Foley (Brandon Flynn), despite what he did to her in the beginning of her school life. And more surprising is the fact that Hannah and Bryce Walker were friends for a little while, long before she bears witness to his monstrous side. But all this pales in comparison when we hear the nature of relationship which Zach Dempsey (Ross Butler) has with Hannah Baker, which prompts Clay to ask, “Could it have been me, if I was around that summer?”. In its pursuit of truth and connecting the dots, 13 Reasons Why Season 2 distorts the image of Hannah Baker that we have formed so far, and there lies one of the biggest issues with this new season. It makes you wonder if it was really necessary to reveal all the details about her life that the first season never addressed. If the idea was to give a deeper understanding of the events that led to the tragedy, then this just doesn’t make any sense. Her absence from the series leaves a big void, but Brian Yorkey, who adapted the series, finds a clever way to keep us thinking about Hannah through Clay’s eyes. However, the void is too big to fill, even when you see bits and pieces of Hannah’s life coming together, and it makes you restless after a point. To be fair, the show runners also highlight Hannah’s flaws - that she herself was a bully in a previous school and she ended up doing things which one would come as a big shock. This new perspective on who Hannah Baker really was slowly degenerates the impact of the story itself, but in the process, the series also turns more dramatic especially in terms of how it treats the characters coming to terms with their shame and guilt. This is what salvages the show after the first few episodes which struggle to rise up to the occasion. Two episodes in particular, one which focusses on Zach Dempsey’s version of what happened to Hannah, and student counsellor Kevin Porter’s (Derek Luke) confession are thrilling after the initial lull in the series. To see a grown man breaking down into tears, in a courtroom, when he comes to terms with his guilt is easily one of the defining moments of the series. Since the narrative is flipped from how Hannah sees the world around her to how the world saw and treated Hannah Baker, the second season expands into the nature of relationships between various students in the school. For instance, Jessica Davis (Alisha Boe) learns from her new friend Nina Jones (Samantha Logan) that she can’t let her past define who she is; Justin’s newfound respect for Jensen’s family makes him yearn for a better life; Dempsey learns to speak up; and Marcus confesses what a monster Bryce Walker truly is in front of the entire school, after he’s forced to choose between his friend and his future. And then, there’s Tyler Down’s (Devin Druid) meltdown from being a misfit into a teenager who’s utterly confused about how to vent out his frustration. As unnecessary as the first few episodes of Season 2 might seem, 13 Reasons Why manages to tie its loose ends to give a clear picture that high school is a brutal place, which takes a major toll on the lives of students. Neither their parents nor the teachers themselves are aware of what happens in the alleys at school, and it brings up another important question - Who’s responsible when something goes terribly wrong? The series also does a fine job in breaking down the overwhelming support that athletes get from the school authorities and how it leads to some of them turning into bullies, since there’s no one around to question their authority. As it reaches its season finale, 13 Reasons Why makes its intentions clear that it’s not going to restrict its environment to addressing mental health issues and bullying in schools. And in doing so, it leaves us stranded in the middle of the road because it’s not the same anymore. It was always about Hannah’s life and the people who failed her, but the more we delve into Season 2, it shifts the narrative to Clay and Bryce and his acolytes and turns the series into a reflection of the harrowing gun culture and sexual assaults in schools and colleges in the Us. There’s one particular scene in the series which is bound to make you squirm and it’s an image so disturbing that nothing will prepare you to deal with it long after watching the show. The second season might have built upon the foundation which its predecessor had laid down, but the new structure and themes that it addresses take the series into a different direction altogether. And towards the end, when you see that it isn’t going to end soon, it makes you seriously question - is it even worth expanding the series long after Clay Jensen tells the whole world how much he loves Hannah Baker? For me, that’s where the series reaches its finish line. But then, the temptation to continue milking a popular series is hard to resist, I suppose.

When Netflix announced that there would be a second season of 13 Reasons Why, fans of the 2017 series, based on Jay Asher's 2007 novel of the same name, wondered what it might look like. After all, the first season had exhausted its source material, reaching a conclusion that made it seem impossible to further the story of its main character Hannah Baker (played by breakout star Katherine Langford) or continue with its effective narrative structure. But for the stars of the show, they never doubted the second season's cause for existence. "I felt like there were so many questions left unanswered at the end of season [one,]" Alisha Boe, whose character Jessica was raped by Hannah's attacker Bryce...

13 Reasons Why took the world by storm when it hit Netflix last year, and it is safe to say it connected with people on a deep level. As many shows tread lightly on heavy subject matters, this teen drama (which is based on a book of the same title) truly shines light on devastating topics and experiences teenagers are faced with. This leads us to the question... Is 13 Reasons Why a true story? Although author Jay Asher's story is not a true story, the situations that occur are all based off of real-life situations that have happened to him or people around him. "All of the reasons Hannah describes were based, at least loosely, on situations I’d either experienced or heard about, mostly from my wife or close female friends," the author said in an interview with Coming Soon. Is Hannah Baker a real person? Despite the fact...
