13 Reasons Why is a Hollywood teen drama streaming television series created by Brian Yorkey for Netflix, based on Jay Asher’s 2007 novel Thirteen Reasons Why. The story follows Clay Jensen, a high school student, as he deals with the repercussions of Hannah Baker’s death. She leaves a box of cassette tapes behind before she dies, on which she explains why she chose to take her life and who she feels is responsible for her death.
On March 31, 2017, Netflix launched the first season. It garnered great reviews from critics and audiences alike, who appreciated the film’s concepts, subject matter, and acting, especially Minnette and Langford’s. Langford was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Series Drama for her performance.
Due to the success of the first 13 episodes, Netflix renewed 13 Reasons Why for a second season in May 2017. The second season was released on May 18, 2018, and received mostly poor critical reviews. Netflix aired a video with the actors that cautioned viewers on some of the topics handled in the program and gave a support website with crisis numbers for anyone suffering from depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders, coinciding with the release of the second season.
In June 2018, a third season was ordered, and it was released on August 23, 2019. The sitcom was renewed in August 2019 for a fourth and final season, which will air on June 5, 2020.
During the summer of 2016, the series was filmed in the Northern California communities of Vallejo, Benicia, San Rafael, Crockett, and Sebastopol. On March 31, 2017, Netflix launched the 13-episode first season as well as a special. Because of the series’ dramatic and emotional content, therapy dogs were present on set for the actors.
