A second season of 13 Reasons Why is all but officially confirmed

Actually, it was a Riverdale announcement that cinched it

It would seem like a show as popular and rife for thinkpieces as 13 Reasons Why would be a lock for a second season — after all, it’s always about the $$$. But no one really knew for sure, because…well, we kind of exhausted the eponymous reasons why.

This Riverdale announcement might have cleared things up, though.

Ross Butler, known for playing Hot Zach (that’s his official name) on 13RW, won’t be returning to his supporting role as Reggie on Riverdale “because of his commitments to other projects,” TVLine reports.

Couple that with sky-high viewing rates, producer Selena Gomez’s declaration that there are many more stories to tell, and a rabid fanbase and the second season’s all but locked up — despite the show’s myriad scathing criticisms.
