- *Leaves cliffhanger* - *Doesn't tell the rest of the story* ARE YOU KIDDING ME

[@wolfangblade2597]

Ahmad Faris Mouzayek honestly it pisses me off like finish the story theres more to it

[@yasmeenw7227]

Ahmad Faris Mouzayek specially after the end of season was of not just as traumatizing even more than season 1 finale

[@SplendrClips]

Relatable.

[@Alexhernandezfilms]

If you don’t want a season 3 Then don’t make a damn cliffhanger Simple . 🙃

[@Jordan_Dale]

Alex Hernandez Are you seriously done already?!

[@F1MOSES]

Yeah it has a srs cliffhanger

[@aceboontoons9167]

I just finished it like he did that whole Tyler school scene at the end like huh then talk about not wanting a season 3

[@GuardGamingMMA]

DarkCookieDj ehh the cliffhanger is Tyler leaving in Tony's car from that attempted shooting but ya there needs to be a season 3

[@GuardGamingMMA]

jadalynn bonilla ye I finished it at like 3pm or like 1pm

[@sierramaddox9738]

You need to do a season 3. Please this show is saving my life.

[@marcelzwiegelaar5972]

sierra maddox If you or a loved one feels alone or needs help, please go to 13reasonswhy.info You are not alone ❤

[@Alumnia91]

If this show is "saving your life" then please reach out. It is not realistic, yes they show a lot of stuff happening in but I still cannot see a single competent adult doing their job properly is just horrid. There are adults and professionals who actually care and can help. This show is doing more harm than good. Please use the link K3Y sent you.

[@xswift_tempo8299]

sierra maddox same

[@dominicgalvez8259]

That brawl scene saved my life😂

[@marcaugai]

Hey wanna be friends? How’s your day been how are you?

[@Fycoren]

If you dont want to make a third season why make a cliffhanger.

[@Fycoren]

I second that.

[@marcaugai]

lil zakar yo for real

[@Jmoneynasty]

Crazy Limper u shouldn’t watch it if you can’t handle it ,not everyone can so

[@jawasstolemydroid4930]

Money. End in a cliffhanger, say you don't want more, and charge up the A$$ to do it again.

[@Fycoren]

jawas stole my droid Yeah that's how it goes

[@EM-hh5cx]

Why does season 2 end in a cliffhanger 😭

[@kaitlynncostello6505]

E M I swear did the cops get clay is chloe keeping the baby like ughhh

[@EM-hh5cx]

kaitlynn costello I know right I have to know

[@jasminbauro7339]

What is Justin's stepdad going to do to him?

[@dreamy5305]

E M because it just makes want more

[@dianalopez130]

E M ikr!?! How could they do this!?! How will Clay explain the gun? What about Tyler?

[@iitswolfy4161]

There’s plenty of room left for a third season I binged the whole season 2 yesterday took me all day hahah but there’s plenty of room for 13 more episodes with clay or Tyler or Zack or tony or Alex and Jess and Justin and Bryce there’s just plenty you know what I mean if you watched the whole season 2. (By the way wanted to say thanks for all the likes guys !!!)

[@MistaAnonymous]

iItswolfy Yeah but its really Hannahs story and that story is completely over so another 13 episode's would just be filler or unnecessary

[@iitswolfy4161]

Mista Anonymous I guess they just wanted to tell the other characters stories too

[@danickiminajjjj1179]

They need to talk more about Courtney or I swear to god! They did her dirty this season.

[@danickiminajjjj1179]

Mr Toonies Tyler and Monty are easily the most needed storyline but I truly think Courtney deserves more. Her storyline may have been finished BUT there were PLENTY of opportunities with her. I think a great idea would have been if we found out Courtney’s girlfriend was actually raped by Bryce and we see Courtney come to terms with it and help fight Bryce as much as the main leads. I just think she deserves more because this show barely represents LGBT in a positive light. Tony isn’t a good role model imo

[@iitswolfy4161]

Mr Toonies I agree

[@chrisrambo8142]

There’s definitely going to be a season 3. Hannah’s story is over. But everyone else’s isn’t. Guys the only reason he didn’t confirm anything is because season 2 was not out yet, if he had agreed to do a season 3 this early it would only tell us that everything doesn’t get resolved this season, however 13 episodes just isn’t enough to tell everyone else’s story

[@lisaheid7801]

There has to be a season 3 to know about Bryce and especially with what happened to Tyler at the last episode it was the hardest thing to watch seriously... the hardest scene

[@jessjess1107]

it really was the hardest scene...i didn't know tv scenes could affect me the way that scene did

[@lisaheid7801]

James Sheppard You're so right, I don't think they will leave us like that without any answers. But we have to wait one more year

[@ilanrodriguez7698]

Holy shit I felt so fucking bad for him man he was trying so hard to live normally and they just fucking rape him with a fucking broomstick. Holy fuck that affected my whole opinion on him. EDIT: I got 15 likes ok thank u.

[@KaraMorassco]

I had to skip that scene. It was stomache churning to me. And it's terrifying this horror could happen in our schools. It makes you think back to other school tragedies from the past. Were they abused by their parents/step-parents, teachers, classmates, or other person they could have trusted and were never helped or listened to at all. The one tragedy I'll always remember is/was Columbine. I live in OH but that incident changed schools everywhere in the country.

[@nehal3674]

ItsIlan71 ikr he came back from the program so strong and tried to be nice but fucking monty didnt give a shit i feel so sorry for tyler he doesnt deserve that shit

[@Jedilord882]

How To Make Season 3 Fulfilling & Not Feel Like - No more Hannah. Seriously her story is done and I think it was beautiful that season 2 was about the effects her death had on everyone involved. - Focus on Tyler. Tyler is already hinted to be suicidal by Mr Porter when he listed him as "one of the most critical". This season could delve more into his past and maybe introduce a new character that was his friend who perhaps beat the shit out of Monte once for bullying Tyler. - Explore more into Clay's personal life. Clay is finally (I would believe) over Hannah, so we need more room to explore his own life and how it's finally progressing. I think Hannah and Sheri dating, since they both feel horrible about what they did on their tapes, would be a good relationship. - Chloe's pregnancy (as well as her character) need to be explored more. I think the correct way to do this is to go deeper into her past relationships, as Chloe seems like an incredibly subservient girlfriend (maybe explore a past boyfriend who treated her like shit and here comes Bryce who promised to be "better"). - Justin's relationship with his dad seems to just be getting started. This season could explore more into abusive parents and the effect that can have on a kids health as well as performance in school. Monte suffers from an abusive father also. - Lastly, the new main antagonist needs to be something we've never seen before. My idea for this antagonist would be someone that has been plotting since season 1, maybe someone that knew Hannah from her previous school who transferred to her new school after hearing justice wasn't served (School won, Bryce got let off easy). This antagonist would be Hannah's best friend who moved in the first season at the party Hannah went to when she first met Hannah ("Sometimes Justice must be taken into one's own hands"). The big reveal could be that she got a set of tapes way before anyone else and this would be why she knows about everything and everyone. I just find it odd how her best friend has been left out of this story thus far as someone who was Hannah's best friend long before anything in season 1 even took place seems very relevant (and is one of the only things that could really be more explored in a season 3). Every season thus far has had central themes play into them. Season 1 was obviously about suicide and bullying (as well as a plethora of other things) while season 2 focused more on sexual assault as well as cause and effect (it's primarily about the effects season 1 had on the characters). Season 3 needs to be something fresh and new while still continuing the story that began and season 1 so it doesn't feel like an entirely new show. My idea for this season would be abusive parents and teen pregnancy which would bring fresh topics into the show to discuss while not straying to far from what we've seen in the past.

[@evieharvey611]

Zylister so true

[@MrNotsoperfect2]

I agree with it all except the antagonist, the antagonist should be Monty still

[@rachelamber4967]

Zylister don't forget! - Give Sheri a bigger part, you're wasting her potential that her character has to be there with Clay and everyone.

[@nissiboadu]

Zylister that's actually a really good idea about Hannah's best friends and the new message for season 3

[@salmasameh6959]

Totally true but i don’t think clay is over her after all we still need hannah it won’t be as good without her

[@hunterjames9554]

if you’re not sure about a season 3, why wouldn’t you wrap up the story ?

[@clank2269]

Hunter James nah...I mean...why not..season 3 would be awesome!

[@jawasstolemydroid4930]

It's a money grab. How to get paid MORE each season, say you don't wanna do it. Say they aren't needed "for the art." Say you won't, and then they give you more, and you do.

[@hunterjames9554]

jawas stole my droid i know why they’re doing it, im meaning for this show specifically i think it would be weird if it was dragged out for multiple seasons considering it was based off a book, don’t get me wrong id prob watch it but i wouldn’t want it to get old.

[@hunterjames9554]

and feel as if they just had another season to make money and not even further the plot much, for example pll drug on for 7 seasons which was too long in my opinion and I just don’t want them to do that with 13rw.

[@jawasstolemydroid4930]

Hunter, for me it got old fast, and yet I watched both seasons. I'd watch 13RW S3 if for nothing else than to make fun of it. It's one of those shows that's so bad it's good, but that's just my taste. I can see why some people genuinely like it, so that's not to put anyone down. In all honesty, Hannah's mom made me wanna cry almost every time she was on screen. That role was very moving.

[@luvellieee]

my favorite scene from the whole entire season 2 was the very last episode at the dance when clay and hannah’s song came on and every one was hugging him. it broke my fucking heart

[@josephfriend6214]

I think that Hannah’s funeral was the perfect way to end it. Don’t leave a cliffhanger if you don’t follow it through

[@KaraMorassco]

I hope you make a season 3. I'm really loving ALL of the characters becoming friends again. I love Clay and Justin's new friendship/brotherhood.

[@gustavomorales4960]

There is more story to tell

[@jawasstolemydroid4930]

Maybe, but dude can charge more if he says he doesn't wanna.

[@marcelzwiegelaar5972]

[@ruthaman6709]

[@devon1473]

jawas stole my droid That's a dumb question

[@monstergone_6759]

jawas stole my droid it a good show wow the dumbest question I've ever heard!!

[@KeishaDalis]

Season 2 ended with a cliffhanger and there is a lot more to tell. We need season 3.

[@flowertotebag]

SEASON 3!!! OR I WILL FAINT

[@wolffeyangelajiplayanimaljam]

**season ends on a cliffhanger** **the directors talk about not releasing the next season** fml forever.

[@animallover7968]

Tracer fml forever *puts my hand on the middle of my table*

[@Cirroyt]

LET THERE BE A SEASON 3

[@yyya6507]

Im from Spain and this show is so important to me, very very important to me...is saving me... the show must go on

[@Khalidah]

he didn't actually say that he "isn't sure of having season 3", his answer was quite vague. and I agree with half the comments, they wouldn't do a friggin cliffhanger at the end of season 2, if there weren't thoughts of season 3. & USUALLY, not ALWAYS, for TV productions, they would film 2 endings; one would be ending the show itself and one is a cliffhanger ending, in case they get the green light from studios or planning to do another season, unless the show got cancelled or something...

[@edianaventrice31]

Please do season 3. Please please . You have no idea how many people lives you are saving just by watching this show.

[@rheinzchanz7105]

I think if they continue the series it would be so good, imagine all of the fans 😲😲

[@katiebut777]

I need a season 3 for this show because this is literally the best show I have ever watched or have resonated with.I have never been so emotional in a show or have been so happy in some moments.When season 2 came out I counted down the days,hours,and minutes because I was so happy to watch it .This is a show that many young people can understand by some of their own experiences in life and know they aren't the only one and they can get through it.So what I am trying to say is we all who have watched this show would love for you to make a new season.

[@sandraxoxox7404]

They need to make a 3rd season I mean, there still is some questions we want answered especially with Chloe and Tyler

[@sonnybobbie22]

no we NEED a season 3 bc it helps people relate and realise the real side of things and that things aren’t always the sugar coated way or the happy ever after ending. its legit and you guys have such a perfect cast to tell the story with!

[@ednamodee]

I literally loveeeeeeeeeeee Justin and Ryan they are my favorite characters

[@dombeach7616]

Make a series 3, we all need it!

[@snkwsnow6550]

You cant just leave us hanging like that, that's bullshit we all deserve and want a season 3 there are so many things missing.

[@JBackkkkk]

S3 was confirmed

[@leonthesleepy]

Oh come on Season 2 ends on such a MASSIVE cliff hangar.

[@skinny-lw6dw]

Well you left me shook. I want season 3

[@camronholiday5292]

U left us in shocking, heartbreaking, and memorable moments and leaves us with a cliffhanger u have 2 make a season 3.

[@eliseivanica]

I hope there is a second season, we need more shows like it. We need a show that starts conversations and tells kids that there are other ways to deal with issues. It lets people know that its okay to come forward and let people know if they are being bullied, assaulted, or if they are depressed. It shows the viewers what signs to look for. I believe this show is very important.

[@emilyl1855]

You have to make a season 3! PLEASE!

[@aaandreaaa1]

You need to make a season 3 .. it’s needed ..

[@666-u9x]

*I NEED A SEASON 3*

[@selena8169]

Please make a season 3 😭😭 it’s on a cliffhanger . WE NEED TO KNOWWW

[@pronto7362]

nah they have to make a season 3 wtf , with the way season 2 ends , there HAS to be a season 3

[@yasminsayeed8125]

WE NEED A SEASON 3 , I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS ! I want to see if and how they make it out of high school , if they go the college and how their lives end up shaping them in their adulthood’s. Come on man , give us a season 3

[@xnydny]

There will be a season 3, I guarantee it, no doubt in my mind. I'm 100% positive there will be a season 3, but they want to keep it under the carpet and then out of no where a trailer comes out in like 8-10 months so don't worry

[@iiMoNsTABeATzz]

You NEED a season 3. The scene with tyler was one of the hardest scenes I ever had to witness.

[@annalynmutoc9516]

I cried like a baby when they all hugged Clay at the middle of the dance floor of Liberty High, while "The Night We Met" was playing. Really, really broke my heart 😭💔

[@harpyzero7991]

I need season three now!🙄

[@marayatinajero589]

Harpy Zero sameeee

[@CarnageAnarchist]

Harpy Zero I guess we have to wait another year...

[@إيفين-م7ج]

Harpy Zero yeeah

[@sanaisediting7881]

Season 3 needs to be a lot more focused on Tyler, as we are becoming more aware that Tyler could be AT RISK of commiting suicide just like Hannah was. Think about it, Hannah's "ghost" said that the point of her tapes wasn't to hurt the people on them or make them pay, it was to make them understand how she felt and stop it from happening again. Tyler is that representation of what Hannah wants not to happen again since he is a bullying victim and a victim of sexual assault. Even though Clay technically " is over" Hannah, he still has love for her and a wise friend told him " I can still love you and let you go." If Clay actually wants to "help" Hannah, he can start by trying to understand Tyler more and getting him help because that's what Hannah really wants. She wants no other student commiting suicide or getting bullied. So, if the creator is gonna make a season 3, that would be a big fall from the cliff hanger. Also, season 3 should maybe pay more attention to the characters that weren't really as understood in season 2 like Sheri, Monty, Courtney, and Jessica even though we understand Jessica a lot, I think it would be interesting to take a dive deeper into her life and see how she dealing with the incident after a while. Those are all pretty much what I think should happen with the show if and when there's a season 3. Feel free to leave constructive comments and what you think should happen in season 3!

[@theeemastermind]

WE NEED A SEASON 3 PLEAASEEEE

[@emilyjohn442]

I think there should be a season 3. Please!!!

[@ethanwarren1290]

There are many reasons for a third season so much to find out, and the huge cliffhanger ending.

[@buttercupsthehotone1419]

3:48 YES! YOU MUST DO A THIRD SEASON

[@mirt2861]

*OH HE WANTS. HE WANTS..*

[@gabrielrodriguez7883]

[@tyjevans223]

Chole pregnant too I want to see what’s gonna happen if you make a season 3 and more to this

[@SR-zi9cv]

Please make an season 3 because there’s more story to tell and the last episodes in the season 2 was so difficult to tell what happened but I’m sure that there’s more story to tell if there’s in season 3

[@MuniraHaque]

I hope he makes a season 3 for 13 Reasons Why

He is an absolute legend

[@sochettrachou6230]

13 reasons why since 3 is end of 13 then season 3 will be the last plzzz

[@nab.7250]

Park Bom (How about 13 seasons or is that too much?

[@JustMe-mt1ik]

UniverseStars lol yes

[@sochettrachou6230]

UniverseStars it may ruin the story I guess if it’s too much

[@oliviaking3635]

13 seasons would be even better

[@jawasstolemydroid4930]

13 season would be too much. It's already overly fluffed with too much nonsense. I'm more interested in Hannah's mom and how she starts over in NYC.

[@MsLissi12345]

They just announced that a season 3 will be coming!!!!

[@maryjimenez7918]

We need a season 3 😭

[@doyouseethat3783]

PLZ MAKE SEASON 3 IM DYING

[@SR-zi9cv]

Nooo 😕 please make an season 3 I really liked the show and it will really make me happy if there’s going to be more seasons and episodes 😔🙏🏼 please answer my question if your really sure that there’s not going to be more seasons of the show 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@sugarbear4831]

This show needs to go on it helps people all around the world don't end it cause of the bad comments

[@MarkofanX]

You better do a season 3 my friend.

[@tweetysweeties6674]

A season three would be great because it’s getting everything out that’s difficult to talk about needs to be spoken about otherwise it will never get better, many people can relate to this and seek help by the help page, I just think that we need to start talking about this stuff at some point to make people more aware and aware of the consequences and help that is out there 😀

[@mianicole9721]

Season 2 was literally just released and he didn’t say a yes or no to season 3. He even said there is either more to tell or not. But I believe there is so much more left to tell. Especially Justin’s story

[@hania4917]

we!! need!! a!! season!! 3!!

[@marinakaragianni3431]

SEASON 3 ASAP!

[@user-es1vk1qk2c]

THIS IS NOT THE END. Need Season 3 or at least a 2 hour special to tie up loose ends

[@mauricegroves3493]

I feel like they should make a spin-off so it has closure to season 2’s cliffhangers and doesn’t have to do with Hannah’s story which is already done

[@tiki-takafc]

if you don't want season 3 don't make season 2 so mysterious with so many cliffhangers, anyone wanna tell me what happens after the party?

[@kortneyepps4456]

It end with Tony driving off with Tyler and clay took the gun from him

[@tiki-takafc]

Kortney Epps i meant after that... how the story continued

[@hl8808]

The Throne it’s more about the ridiculous snowflakes demanding the show be cancelled because they got offended by the Tyler broom scene. Jesus if you don’t like it don’t fucking watch it but don’t ruin it for the rest of us who like the show.

[@mikeybejaran4575]

Yes We Definitely Need A Season 3 There's A lot Of Cliff Hangers ! :)

[@andrewcarson6925]

YASSSSSSSSS SEASON 3 I LOVE 13 REASONS WHY

[@chikaaqeela3983]

please make a season 3 just please

[@raghuware2469]

we get more Hannah and Zach rather than Hannah and clay

[@ralphernest7075]

I would like to see how Tyler and Zach are coping, since Zach lost his summer fling who he might of had a massive crush on, and the ending of Season 2 is just a way of getting everyone hyped up for a 3rd season.

[@nickjefferson2813]

Make a season 3 please I love it the songs and everything and I jus finish season two so I need really a another season so yeah

[@MindsetHumbled]

I want season 3 please

[@rubenrodriguez9976]

There should be a season 3 cause it also left us at a cliffhanger when clay was holding that gun like what’s gonna happen next

[@darkstar5450]

Are you kidding? Season 2 ended in an even bigger cliffhanger than the first one. Not wrapping the show up would just be lazy by their part.

[@daytongreathouse3062]

Okay... I want to know what happens to Tyler now. The new show should be about Tyler... if there is a season 3. How will he make it? What about Monty? I want to know about Bryce after school... does he get bullied at his prep school? Also what happens between Alex and Jessica now that she hooked up with Justin... what about chole having a baby? Yes there are issues to still come to a resolve!!! What about clay holding gun at the end.... !? I really want to know more about Tyler and his survival!!!! His story. How he copes. Does he go through with life yes or no... do he run forever? Hello all these things in the show must be resolved. Please do another season!!!!!

[@missourigreen051]

You left out how in the last episode they show Justin's mom's boyfriend stalking Justin, I also would like to see how that will end.

[@rei5596]

Please make season 3 cause it just ended with a cliffhanger on season 2!

[@ollyclark3176]

need another season we need to know what happens to the characters after they all re connect

[@rp2311]

Should be a season 3, all characters have interesting characteristics. It would be a shame to end the series on a cliffhanger. This is my favourite show and there is a lot more story to tell.

[@FrannRants64539]

THERE IS SO MUCH MORE

[@noulal6296]

Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz make season 3 this show is my entire life
