Netflix ordered another 13 episode series to air next year.
When will 13 Reasons Why season 3 be released?
The third run will be released in 2019 it has been officially confirmed.
This is expected, although the exact release date has not been given.
The words “Coming 2019” were included in the announcement.
Season two was only given its official release date about a month before it dropped so it’s likely the date won’t be revealed until very close to the time.
Either way, it is expected to return in late spring/early summer 2019, in line with the two previous seasons.

What will happen in 13 Reasons Why season 3?
Fans are still reeling from the traumatic season two finale but there is a lot to be revisited in the upcoming season.
The season will likely pick up with the aftermath of Tyler Down’s (played by Devin Druid) attempted school shooting.
Clay Jensen (Dylan Minnette) was left holding a rifle when he managed to calm Tyler and convince him not to shoot anybody.
Will Clay be blamed for bringing the gun to Liberty High?

How Tyler copes with being brutally raped is also set to be a major aspect of the season.
The horrific bathroom scene where Monty (Timothy Granderos) violated Tyler with a mop handle caused uproar this season, with many viewers calling for the show’s cancellation.
However, Netflix’s CEO Reed Hastings has personally defended the show’s exploration of tough topics.
Deadline reports that Reed said: “13 Reasons Why has been enormously popular and successful. It’s engaging content.
“It is controversial. But nobody has to watch it.”
