I’m sorry to be the one to break it to you, but the fourth season of 13 Reasons Why was the show’s last ever and there won’t be a fifth season. Although we don’t know for sure, we speculate that it has something to do with the show’s falling ratings.
When the first season came out in 2017, it was praised for doing a great job of showing young people the problems they face in the modern world. When the second season came out, people were disappointed that it didn’t do as well as the first season. Later, seasons 3 and 4 of the show came out, but they didn’t do very well, and some scenes were very controversial because they showed things like rape and suicide.
Overall, the show’s ratings kept going down, which may have pushed the showrunners to end it after the fourth season, even though Brain Yorkey had always planned to end it after the fourth season.

Will the Fifth Season of 13 Reasons Ever Air?
I’m sorry, but no. As was already said, 13 Reasons Why will not have a fifth season. Here’s what the show’s creator, Brian Yorkey, had to say about how the fourth season would be the last one.
“Somewhere in the middle of making season two, when it became clear that we might have the chance to make more seasons of this, I pretty quickly got to a place where it felt like a four-season story,” Yorkey said.
“I’m always a little bit suspicious of high school shows that last longer than four seasons, since high school is four years long.”
He told EW that their graduation seemed like a better way to end the show.
“And it seemed like the right way to end the story was to have these characters graduate and go on to other things,” he said.
“So, for a long time, the plan has been that if we were lucky enough to do four seasons of this, we would. So, when the fourth season’s story broke, we knew it was the end.”

What to Expect From Season 5’s Narrative of 13 Reasons Why?
So many things happened in season 4. All the loose ends were tied off perfectly, and there was no more suspense. We found out that Justin’s incurable disease was caused by his constant use of drugs and prostitution, which meant he didn’t make it. Clay, on the other hand, had a very bad anxiety attack and tried to kill himself. Winston was shocked when Alex told him that Bryce had died.
In the end, they all went on with their lives after graduating. Clay agrees to keep going to counseling and takes a road trip with his friend Tony. It was a peaceful and satisfying ending, but if the showrunner brings the show back for another season, it could go in a different direction.
