May 18th is almost upon us, which means you will soon get to binge all of 13 Reasons Why season 2 in one sitting. Even though we can count down the days to the premiere, the wait for this season has been SO brutal. Why? Because the cast and producers have been super hush-hush about what's going to happen in season two.

You have SO. MANY. QUESTIONS... especially after seeing the first official trailer! How is Clay dealing after the events of season one? Is Hannah a ghost haunting Clay now? What's up with all of these Polaroid pictures? And how will the series address concerns from critics that it's not giving viewers enough tools to deal with the very real situations of bullying and suicide going on in the show?

Well, Seventeen.com got the chance to chat with Dylan Minnette, and obviously we had to ask him about 13 Reasons Why. Dylan couldn't give too much away, but he did share a few new details that might surprise you.

1. Clay is still recovering from the emotional aftermath of Hannah's death in season two.

Although Clay seemed to find some sort of closure in the season one finale as he drove off into the distance with Tony and Skye, you'd be wrong to think he's totally past the events of season one.

"I think that the impact of Hannah and the tapes on Clay’s life will never ever go away no matter how hard he tries," Dylan explained of how Hannah's death is still on Clay's mind in season two. "No matter what, it’s going to take him a while to recover. You can see that it’s not easy for Clay to let anything go. And that's expected. I don’t think anyone expects Clay to just kind of think of Hannah and be like, 'No, it was nothing.'"



2. We'll learn way more about Hannah's life than we did in season one.

Although some fans thought 13 Reasons Why shouldn't have a second season, once Dylan saw the scripts for season two, he totally understood why a sophomore season was necessary, and you will too.

"It would have been weird to end Hannah’s story in season one because we only heard very small tidbits of her life told by her," Dylan shared, hinting at the possibility of Hannah's story being told further through flashbacks from characters other than Clay. "There’s a whole life that Hannah had, and there’s more we can learn about her. Overall, learning more about her is more important to the entire narrative."

Dylan also says the side characters you got to know in season one would also be getting some much needed development in season two as well. "These characters, there’s a lot of recovery for these characters. So, I think it’s necessary and I was excited about a season two. Now looking back, I’m like, I get it. I get why we did it."



3. There won't be many new Clay and Hannah scenes.

If you were hoping for a ton of new flashbacks between Hannah and Clay, you'll be sorely disappointed. "We potentially could see more flashbacks with Clay and Hannah, but what I will say is that I think we learn pretty much almost everything we needed to know about what Clay and Hannah’s relationship was [in season one]. I think that’s pretty clear."

4. But you will see tons of new flashbacks with Hannah and her other classmates.

"I think that you’ll see more interactions between Hannah and some other characters we haven’t seen before," Dylan teased. "I think that’s interesting because in season one, whenever there was a flashback, it was either Hannah or Clay’s flashback and either Clay or Hannah or both were always in it. Now, maybe there will be a flashback they’re not in and you can learn more about something else. I thought that was pretty cool."

5. Clay and Skye could get closer.

Skye, Clay's childhood friend who he grew apart from when they got to high school, was an important part of season one, her character's story shedding light on bullying and self-harm. Well, she'll definitely play an important role in season two as well — possibly as a love interest for Clay.

"I can’t say too much, but Skye is still around and in the picture and there’s a chance that her and Clay could be friends or more," Clay teased. "That’s something you’ll learn pretty quickly when the season starts. I don’t want to spoil that for you, but she’s around."

6. The series will offer tools for suicide prevention without getting preachy.

"I think it’s hard. It’s a fine line," Dylan said when asked if season two would address the criticism season one faced that not enough information and tools were offered to viewers who might be dealing with suicidal thoughts or bullying. "I don’t really know what the answer is to that. If [the writers were] actively trying to do anything, I’m not let in on those discussions. But I think, by reading certain scenes, there is definitely maybe some commentary within scenes without being outright."

Dylan said it's important for the show to not sound like a PSA. "They tried their best to address that within dialogue, but that’s really hard to do without being condescending or talking to the camera and having dialogue that sounds out of place," Dylan explained. "But I think they tried their hardest to absolutely do that."
