It was produced by Selena Gomez and stars Dylan Minnette and Katherine Langford as Clay and Hannah, respectively.

Every episode sees Clay listening to a tape, which leads to a series of flashbacks which uncover the difficulties in Hannah Baker’s life. This is combined with scenes set in the present that see Clay confronting people who hurt Hannah, and dealing with the fall-out of her death.
