’13 Reasons Why’ to end after season 4
Netflix renews '13 Reasons Why' for a 4th and final season

MANILA, Philippines – Netflix’s young adult drama series 13 Reasons Why has been renewed for a 4th and final season. 

According to a Variety report, the show’s last season is currently in production and will revolve around the main cast’s high school graduation from Liberty High.

No premiere date or episode count for season 4 has been revealed yet.

The renewal news comes after the premiere date announcement of 13 Reasons Why’s season 3, which will debut its 13 episodes on August 23.

13 Reasons Why is based on Jay Asher’s young adult novel about Hannah Baker, a teenage girl who, after a traumatizing experience in high school, leaves behind 13 cassette tape recordings before eventually killing herself.

The show, which premiered in 2017, has been deemed controversial by many, saying that it sends the “wrong message”  about suicide, glorifying it as a form of revenge.

Others also criticized the show’s graphic depiction of suicide and other sensitive scenes. As a result, studies have shown that online searches on “suicide” and a spike  in US teen suicides followed after its premiere.

On July 15, 2019, Netflix announced that it would be removing  the graphic suicide scene of Hannah Baker in season 1, two years after the show’s launch. – Rappler.com
