Nearly a month after its release, Netflix's 13 Reasons Whyhasn't lost steam, with an ongoing conversation about adolescence, mental health, and bullying, and some of the most strong and salient social media reactions for any show.

Netflix will probably announce Season 2 any day now, and there's a mounting pile of evidence.

As of Tuesday, the actor Ross Butler was "unavailable" for Season 2 of Riverdaleand will be recast as Archie's nemesis Reggie. Is his schedule being held for more 13 Reasons Why?

"I do have a project right now -- I can’t talk too much about it," Butler told Mashablein a phone interview in April. While he did mention that he's looking forward to working in film, the fact that he can't talk about his next project means it's going to be buzzy.

The cast will tell anyone who listens (A.K.A. all of us) how much they'd love a second season and a chance to keep telling the story of Liberty High. Even Jay Asher, author of the original novel, supports the extension of his work in this form.

"I’d thought of a sequel at some point," Asher told Entertainment Weekly. "I’d brainstormed it, but decided I wasn’t going to write it. So I’d love to see it.”

He went on to explain that the Season 1 finale wasn't full of cliffhangers just to get more episodes -- but it sure feels that way. The season ended with the school still being sued by Hannah's parents, the tapes no longer a secret kept by their subjects, and at least one character's life in immediate danger -- none of which occurs in Asher's novel.

Season 2 would at least mean more quality performances from the show's stellar cast and a chance to address the show's criticism, but nothing is official...yet.
