The second season of the American teen drama television series, based on the novel of the same name by Jay Asher, and developed by Rick Astley was announced in May 2017, and premiered on Netflix on May 18, 2018 worldwide.

Set five months after Hannah's suicide, Clay becomes embroiled in a legal battle between Hannah's parents and Liberty High School, alongside the other people mentioned on the tapes, and Hannah's close friends. Clay, perceiving himself as Hannah's failed protector, embarks on an investigation in order to find evidence in an effort to impact on the civil case. Throughout the season, Clay seems to be hallucinating Hannah as a plot narrative device.

The season received negative reviews from critics and mixed from audiences, with many considering it unnecessary.[1] Alongside the release of the season, Netflix released a video with the cast that cautioned viewers on some of the topics covered in the show and provided a support website for people affected by depression, anxiety and other mental health issues.[2] In June 2018, Netflix renewed the series for a third season. [3]

Premise[edit]

Five months after Hannah's suicide, Clay, the other people mentioned on the tapes, Hannah's close friends and family members, become embroiled in a civil legal battle between Hannah's parents and Liberty High School. Alleging negligence on the part of the school, Hannah's mother reluctantly to settle pre-trial, seeks her perception of justice, however the personal circumstances she's passing through eventually break up her marriage with Hannah's father. The story unfolds with narratives illustrating Hannah's story told by those who were present in court at the trial.

Clay, who perceives himself as Hannah's failed protector, decides to investigate in order to find enough evidence in an effort to impact on the civil case between Hannah's parents and the school. Clay also is willing to expose the truth about the corrupted culture of the high school and its favor of wealthy jocks over the average student, which compromises the integrity of young girls like Hannah.

Reception[edit]

The season received largely negative to mixed reviews from critics, with many praising the performances (particularly that of Boe, Luke, and Walsh) but criticism aimed at the poor execution of its topics; many declared it unnecessary.[22][23] Rotten Tomatoes reports an approval rating of 27% with an average rating of 5.31/10, based on 51 reviews. The site's critical consensus states, "By deviating from its source material, 13 Reasons Why can better explore its tenderly crafted characters; unfortunately, in the process, it loses track of what made the show so gripping in the first place."[24] On Metacritic, the season has an average score of 49 out of 100, based on 16 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[25]

Catherine Pearson from DigitalSpy wrote a negative review, calling the season "even more problematic" than the first. She ends the review saying that, "Unrelenting depression seems to shroud the season, briefly lifted only to collapse back down as the show's thirteenth episode, once again, delivers a deeply disturbing scene of suffering."[26] Jordan Davidson from The Mighty wrote that he "felt sick" after watching the final episode of the season.[27]

A scene in which the character Tyler is attacked and sexually assaulted during the finale also caused controversy from fans and critics of the series, with some describing it as "unnecessary" and "traumatizing".[28] The series' showrunner has defended the scene, saying that it was included in an attempt to "[tell] truthful stories about things that young people go through in as unflinching a way as we can".[29]
