This '13 Reasons Why' Fan Theory Explains How Season 2 Can Happen

If you, like the rest of the Twitterverse, have already binge-watched 13 Reasons Why on Netflix, you might be wondering if there will be a season two. While the first season was based on the book of the same name, 13 Reasons Why gave a bit of a twist to the ending, leaving room for many of the main characters to come back. (Note: Spoilers ahead for those who haven’t finished the series!!). But just what kind of a plot could we expect from a second season? One fan theory may have just given us the answer…

The fan theory suggests that Alex didn’t shoot himself in an attempted suicide, but that he was shot on purpose by Tyler :/

In the last episode of the series, it was revealed that Tyler had been stockpiling guns and other weapons, suggesting that he may be planning a school shooting. It is also shown that he has individual stalker-y photos of his fellow classmates, including Bryce, Courtney, Montgomery, Sheri, Marcus, Clay… and Alex.

Tyler ominously takes down his picture of Alex after it’s revealed that Alex has suffered an alleged “self-inflicted” gunshot wound, possibly suggesting that it was actually Tyler who shot him on purpose. If this is true, then it appears that Tyler is planning to take out the rest of his classmates — perhaps individually, or all at once. This is some dark sh*t, but it’s definitely a plausible theory given everything we know about Alex, and would make for some timely (yet delicate) subject matter for a second season.
