The TV series is a mystery series based on the 2007 novel Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher and adapted for television by Brian Yorkey. Mostly, the show centers around a high school student, Clay Jensen, and his friend, Hannah Baker, who committed suicide after suffering a series of demoralizing circumstances, brought on by select individuals at her school. A box of cassette tapes recorded by Hannah before her death details thirteen reasons why she ended her life.

Diana Son and Brian Yorkey worked as co-showrunners on the series. The first season of thirteen episodes. Produced by July Moon Productions, Kicked to the Curb Productions, Anonymous Content, and Paramount Television, the show originally planned on having Selena Gomez star in the show.
