The third series of 13 Reasons Why is due to hit our TV screens later this month, and the latest trailer has revealed the death of a major character! The new series is set eight months after Clay Jensen stopped Tyler Down from going to a mass shooting and in the trailer released yesterday (1st August) fans get to see a new harrowing crime unfold in front of them.
WARNING SPOILERS!
Starting at a crime scene, the dark trailer ends with the main characters standing around a coffin. As the camera pulls out and zooms in on a photo next to the coffin, it is apparent that it is Bryce Walker in the coffin, with the trailer ending with the website whokilledbrycewalker.com
For those that choose to visit whokilledbrycewalker.com on their mobiles, they will get the chance to get involved with a voice activated experience.
In just 24 hours, the trailer has been viewed more than 4 million times, with fans very excited for the sneaky look at the upcoming series. One fan commented, 'Omg I watched this and my jaw DROPPED! ', [sic] with another saying, 'First Stranger Things and now 13 reasons why two of my favorite Netflix series getting another seasons one after another what could make me more happy than this.' [sic]
13 Reasons Why hit our TV screens back in 2017, with the first series following high school student, Clay Jensen after his friend Hannah Baker, committed suicide - and the 13 reasons that led to her actions.
The second series then followed the aftermath of Hannah's death, with the characters' journeys toward healing and recovery. The teenagers' High School found itself on trial, but someone tried to cover up the truth surrounding Hannah's death, however, Clay and his classmates uncovered a sickening secret.
Last month Netflix announced they would be removing the suicide scene from the first season of 13 Reasons Why, after being faced with criticism for showing Hannah's suicide.
This decision was praised by the charity Samaritans, who said, "We welcome Netflix’s decision to edit out the suicide scene from the first season of 13 Reasons Why.
"We raised our concerns over the content and have been working with the Netflix team here in the UK to provide advice on the safe portrayal of suicide, including viewer support and signposting to helplines such as Samaritans."
Now take a look at what shows you can look forward to on Netflix:
