The cast have been calling for it. The fans have been calling for it. Even the author of the original book has been calling for it.

It looks like a second season for 13 Reasons Why is a sure thing now.

Both Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter have heard rumblings that it's only a matter of time before Netflix makes the news official.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the writing team for the drama have already convened and have been working on season two for a few weeks.

Also rather interestingly, Riverdale has announced that Ross Butler's character Reggie will be recast for season two due to scheduling conflicts.

Fans will know that Butler plays Zach Dempsey in 13 Reasons Why, and many people have been speculating that the scheduling conflict comes from the Netflix drama's potential second season.

It will be interesting to see what season two would look like, given that Hannah Baker's story has concluded.

That said, there's a lot of fallout from her suicide to deal with (spoilers if you've not seen the season finale ahead) – from what happens to Clay Jensen (Dylan Minnette) now to Alex Standall (Miles Heizer) shooting himself in the head.

Although, a fan theory has been going around speculating that Tyler Down (Devin Druid) may have shot Alex.

13 Reasons Why also received some controversy surrounding its graphic depiction of Hannah's death.

The writers and creator of the show have come out to defend the scenes, arguing that it was necessary to show the suicide and to make it uncomfortable and brutal to watch, rather than for it to take place off screen.

13 Reasons Why can be watched on Netflix right now.
