13 Reasons Why dealt with the titular 13 reasons in its first season, yet it is about to drop its fourth season next month.
While it's gone on longer than we expected it to, the Netflix series won't continue beyond season 4, as explained by showrunner Brian Yorkey.
"Somewhere in the midst of making season two, when it became clear that we might have the chance to make more seasons of this, I pretty quickly got to a place where it felt like a four-season story," he told Entertainment Weekly.

"I’m always a little bit suspicious of high school shows that go beyond four seasons because high school is four years long.
"It felt like bringing these characters to their graduation and to scattering to their next things felt like the logical ending point," he added.

"So for a long time, the idea has been, should we be so lucky to have the opportunity, we would do four seasons of this. So certainly going into breaking story for season four, we knew it was the end."

Yorkey also explained that there are also no plans for a spin-off featuring the characters either, stating: "I'd be very interested to see how some of these characters do at college but I love the idea also of leaving that up to all of our imaginations."
He also said that he is happy that this season only has 10 episodes compared to 13, as he feels that's all is needed this time around.
13 Reasons Why returns for its fourth and final season in June on Netflix.
