The first trailer of 13 Reasons Why Season 3 has been released by Netflix. The hugely popular show is a teen drama based on the 2007 novel with the same title by Jay Asher. 13 Reasons Why seasons 1 and 2 revolved around a high school student, Hannah Baker’s suicide, and how her friend Clay Jensen goes about investigating what led her to take her own life.
Season 3 deals less with the death of Hannah Baker and has a new question for its viewers, who killed Bryce Wallace?
While the first season was fairly successful when it released in 2017, which included a Golden Globe nomination for the lead actor Katherine Langford, the depiction of suicide, rape and other graphic content in series prompted criticism from several mental health professionals in the US. In March 2018, Netflix added a warning card at the start of every season warning viewers about its themes. More recently, in July 2019, it was reported that Netflix even edited out the suicide scene in the first season’s episode.
For now, all eyes are the latest season of 13 Reasons Why, which some are describing as going the Riverdale route. Watch the latest trailer and find out yourself, season 3 of 13 Reasons Why is scheduled to drop on 23 August:
