4. This Isn't Even Hannah Baker's Story Anymore

13 Reasons Why
Netflix

The lack of Katherine Langford's Hannah Baker in the trailer isn't surprising given that the character's tragic suicide was what the story of the first season. That said, it its a reminder that the show has evolved so much from what it once was, that it's hard to even picture this season wrapping up a story it's no longer telling.

In spite of the online mysteries between the first two seasons in regards to whether or not she was actually dead, the show not only enforced Hannah's death, it carried on without her. And thus, seeing another season debut when the character this story was about is no longer part of it just feels wrong.
