13 Reasons Why: 10 New Faces You'll See on Season 2

Updated on 5/16/2018 at 5:25 PM

13 Reasons Why debuted its first season on Netflix back in March, earning largely positive reviews from critics and an immediate legion of fans. Even though it could have easily been a limited series, the streaming service wanted to keep the conversation going around this powerful show that touches on everything from sexual assault and suicide to bullying and navigating the treacherous waters of high school in this day and age.

So in May 2017, Netflix renewed the series for a second season, which is slated to this Friday. Most of the original cast will be back, but there are a ton of new faces joining the lineup. Here's are all the new actors we know about so far!

Anne Winters

Variety revealed a slew of new cast members in August. Winters will play Chloe, Liberty High's It girl and new head cheerleader.

Bryce Cass

This fresh face will play Cyrus, a champion of the underdogs, who likes to stir the pot. (It's worth noting that he's grown up quite a bit since this photo!)

Chelsea Alden

Alden is playing Cyrus's sister Mackenzie, an outspoken, artsy girl.

Samantha Logan

Logan has been cast as Nina, a star track athlete who harbors a secret.

Allison Miller

Miller has joined the cast as a lawyer, presumably as part of the Baker family's lawsuit against Liberty High.
