The wait is finally over! After months of anticipation, fans can breathe a sigh of relief as Netflix has officially announced that Season 2 of the hit teen drama series '13 Reasons Why' is just around the corner.

First premiering on March 31st, 2017 to critical acclaim and massive viewership numbers (over 50 million households in its first month alone!), creator Brian Yorvo's adaptation of Jay Asher's best-selling novel has quickly cemented itself as one of streaming giant Netflix' most talked-about original series.

So when exactly can you expect more angsty teenage angst, heartbreaks galore and cliffhangers aplenty? Get ready to mark your calendars because Season 2 will be hitting the airwaves on May 18th, 2018 - just a little over two months after its predecessor!

But that's not all folks! Alongside the highly-anticipated return of our favorite characters (hello again, Dylan Sprayberry as Zach!), Netflix is also premiering an exclusive companion piece titled '13 Reasons Why: Beyond The Reason'. This special episode promises to delve deeper into some of season one's most shocking moments and maybe even give us a few cryptic hints about what lies ahead for the gang in Season 2...

And speaking of more seasons, fear not loyal fans because Netflix has officially greenlit '13 Reasons Why' for another two installments! That's right folks - we've got at least three more seasons (and possibly four!) to look forward to before this unforgettable journey comes full circle.

So grab your tissues and get ready to binge-watch some serious feels-fest action, because Season 2 of '13 Reasons Why' is coming straight to a Netflix near you on May 18th!
