— Entertainment Weekly (@EW) October 29, 2015- Netflix ordered the show straight to series.
- Selena Gomez and her mom, Mandy Teefey, will be executive producers of the show.
- 13 Reasons Why is a 2007 book that follows a young teen, Hannah Baker, who committed suicide and left behind thirteen cassette tapes that reveal the reasons she decided to end her life.
- Gomez was supposed to play Baker when it was first rumored years ago that the book would be adapted into a movie because the author thought she was perfect for the role.
- This time, according to her rep, Selena will only produce the series and someone else will play the lead character.
