The series is about the suicide of a girl called Hannah Baker and the cassette tapes she leaves behind for the people she says contributed to her death.

It's sparked strong warnings from mental health authorities around the world, including here, for its graphic content and portrayal of suicide.

In a short clip posted on Facebook early this morning the streaming site made the announcement saying "their story isn't over yet".

Our Los Angeles correspondent, Brad Pomerance, explains what's in store for season two.
