It’s been eight years since Netflix released 13 Reasons Why, the series that nearly traumatized its viewers due to scenes depicting s*icide, violence, and the like. Who would ever forget the bathtub scene where Hannah Baker took her own life? Or that broomstick scene in Season 2 that almost turned our stomachs upside down?

There were so many triggering moments in this show that even years after it aired on the streaming platform, the memory of them still gives us shivers. Because of the backlash, Netflix and a voluntary health organization have agreed to edit and remove one controversial scene.

“13 Reasons Why” has been renewed for Season 4 at Netflix, which will also be the show’s final season, Variety has learned.

Season 4 is currently in production and will feature the core cast’s graduation from Liberty High. In addition, Season 3 of the controversial series will debut on Aug. 23 and will consist of 13 episodes.

Netflix is making changes to a controversial 13 Reasons Why scene ahead of the show's third season. The teen drama famously centers around a group of high school kids who are impacted by a series of exposing cassette tapes left behind by Hannah Baker (Katherine Langford), a classmate who killed herself weeks before the tapes' release. Hannah's graphic suicide scene became a highly contested topic of conversation for viewers, and now, more than two years after its depiction, Netflix has decided to edit it out.

"We've heard from many young people that 13 Reasons Why encouraged them to start conversations about difficult issues like depression and suicide and get help - often for the first time," Netflix said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. "As we prepare to launch season three later this Summer, we've been mindful about the ongoing debate around the show. So on the advice of medical experts,...

The first season of 13 Reasons Why opened to some pretty major controversy. The series centers around a main character who has committed suicide. She is the narrator of sorts in a series of 13 cassette tapes that she has pre-recorded and left to the people she has deemed responsible for her death. When making the series, the creators consulted a board of mental health experts, who ultimately had some major concerns about the portrayal of the actual suicide scene at the end of the first season. They warned that the moments of the character graphically showing the way she killed herself were harmful and risky to those who may be suicidal. But the series went Ama, and did exactly that.

The series has been credited for helping teens open up about depression and suicidal ideology, but there has continued to be a bit of a stain on the creators for not...

Netflix has removed a controversial scene from the first season of its teen drama series “13 Reasons Why” that depicts in graphic detail a character committing suicide. The scene debuted in the first season finale which, like the rest of the show’s initial run, was made available March 31, 2017 on Netflix. Several parent and family organizations, including the Parents Television Council, slammed the show for depicting a suicide in such graphic detail.

The scene in question showed Katherine Longford’s character Hannah Baker cutting herself in the bathtub and did not edit out the violence. Over two years later, the scene has been entirely removed from the episode.

A controversial scene in Netflix drama, 13 Reasons Why has been edited out, two years after it first appeared.

The nearly three-minute scene showed actress Katherine Langford’s character Hannah take a razor blade to one of her wrists while sitting in a bathtub.

Millions of people struggle with depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues — just not on the big screen or on television.

Historically, films such as “Ordinary People” or “Good Will Hunting” and shows such as “In Treatment” have dramatized these types of issues, but they remain the exception to the rule. Less than 2% of all film characters and roughly 7% of TV characters experience mental health conditions on screen, according to a new report by the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative. That doesn’t reflect the experiences of a significant portion of the moviegoing and television-watching audiences. Close to 20% of the U.S. population reports some form of mental health condition or illness per year. And Hollywood often does more harm than good in its depictions. When mental health issues are portrayed on screen, the characters are often treated disparagingly or are shown being violent.

“It perpetuates negative attitudes and prejudices about mental health issues,...

A new report released Thursday by the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative revealed that mental health conditions are rare and dehumanized in film and TV. The study is the first of its kind for the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative and comes from USC’s Dr. Stacy L. Smith in partnership with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (Afsp) and funded by The David and Lura Lovell Foundation. The study results were discussed Thursday in a panel moderated by Tre’vell Anderson featuring Dr. Smith, Dr. Christine Moutier, Chief Medical Officer, Afsp, Caitlyn Jenner and Gloria Calderon Kellett.

The report, titled “Mental Health Conditions in Film & TV: Portrayals that Dehumanize and Trivialize Characters” gives insight into the often overlooked topic of mental health portrayed via film and TV. The study examined 100 top-grossing films and 50 popular TV series to understand the prevalence and context of mental health conditions in entertainment. Using a purposefully broad definition,...
