Netflix renews “13 Reasons Why” for season 2

NEW YORK -- In spite of the controversy over its depiction of teen suicide, Netflix has renewed the watercooler hit "13 Reasons Why" for a second season.

Is Netflix series "13 Reasons Why" glamorizing teen suicide?

The streaming service announced Sunday that it has picked up the series revolving around the suicide of a high school girl. Season two will debut on Netflix next year.

While Netflix doesn't release ratings information, "13 Reasons Why" has proven a conversation-starting drama.

Some have criticized the show for glorifying suicide, which led to Netflix adding an additional warning ahead of the series.

The Selena Gomez-produced "13 Reasons Why" is based on Jay Asher's young adult best-seller.

The second season will also be 13 episodes long.
