Anticipation and Trepidation as Netflix Releases New Season of '13 Reasons Why'

Students, parents, and educators are either eagerly awaiting or bracing with trepidation this week's release of the second season of "13 Reasons Why," the show about a high school student's suicide and other controversial topics.

Netflix will release Season 2 of the show on Friday, May 19. As is typical with many original shows on the service, all the season's episodes will become available at once.

The 13-part first season was based on the Jay Asher novel of the same name about a set of cassette tapes left behind by 17-year-old student Hannah Baker detailing whom among her classmates she had problems with.
