Here's Everything We Know About 13 Reasons Why Season 3

It was recently announced that the third season would be hitting Netflix on Aug. 23 and will consist of 13 episodes.

After tying up Hannah's story with the trial in season two, Yorkey told Entertainment Weekly that there probably won't be a big need for her character next season. Shortly after the release of season two, Katherine Langford confirmed on Instagram that she would not be reprising her role as Hannah.

After preventing Tyler from committing a mass shooting at the high school dance, the new season will take places eight months later as Clay, Tony, Jessica, Alex, Justin, and Zach try to help their classmate recover while also cover up what happened.

In the first trailer for season three, the big story for the season is revealed: who killed Bryce Walker?

In light of Bryce's death, the series will show of a whole new side of the character. Anne Winters, who plays Bryce's girlfriend Chlöe Rice on the series, told Us Weekly that we'll "see a redeemable side to Bryce" this season. Although she adds, "No one deserves to die. No one deserves to be raped. No one deserves to go through a lot of the things that people go through on our show. You'll see a lot of different sides to him."

During season two, it's heavily hinted that Clay is dealing with some sort of mental illness following Hannah's death. While it's not directly addressed this season, Dylan Minnette (the actor behind the character) told BuzzFeed News that he hopes the story will come up in future episodes. "It definitely is something that should be addressed because I think it's pretty clear that he definitely has some issues and he is struggling," he said. "It really takes a toll on him and almost takes him completely to the edge in this season."

Even with Hannah gone, Yorkey told EW that there will still be a big sense of community between the characters in season three. "One of our big themes for the season was the progression from isolation to community," Yorkey said. "We really wanted these kids to find a community in each other. I do hope that if the story does continue, we will continue to see that. I'm sure there will be new adversity, but I'm sure we also will see that there are bonds here that these characters didn't have before."
