With the reason for Hannah Baker's suicide finally revealed, many are wondering if Katherine Langford would still be involved in the second season. While there is still no confirmation regarding Langford's involvement, showrunner Brian Yorker revealed that Hannah Baker's story isn't over yet. "Hannah's story is still very much not finished," showrunner Brian Yorkey told The Hollywood Reporter. "She's an integral part of whatever the next chapter of the story is, and she's very much still at the center of it," he added.
However, if there is one person that won't likely be involved in the second season of the show, it would have to be the book series author Jay Asher. According to reports, the author would be distancing himself from the show after sexual harassment allegations of him had surfaced. Netflix had also announced that Asher would not be a part of the second season and that his absence would have no impact on the show whatsoever.
