get ready for the next young adult
adaptation sensation
welcome to Ms mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top five
need to know facts about 13 reasons why
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we're
looking at the most interesting pieces
of information we currently have about
necklaces new series set to premiere on
March 31st 2017 number 5 there are 13
episodes one for each reason not going
not now not ever
J Asher's novel 13 reasons why was first
published in 2007 and now it's getting
the small screen treatment a decade
after the books release the story
revolves around a teenage boy clay who
receives a mysterious package two weeks
after his classmate Hanna commits
suicide the package contains cassette
tapes Hannah recorded and on which she
says there were 13 reasons why she
decided to kill herself and that clay is
one of them and if you're listening to
this tape you're one of the reasons why
the series will have each of its 13
episodes focused on one of the reasons
that Hannah gives for her suicide number
one is just so nice and so they drive
you to kill yourself and sooner or later
the truth will come out number 4 it's a
passion project for Selena Gomez good
extras new star singer and actress
Selena Gomez is working behind the lens
on this project by acting as executive
producer Gomez has been interested in
the project since 2009 when she first
heard about the story she said she was
so anxious about approaching Netflix
about partnering on 13 reasons why
because she was already so invested in
it I was ok with it I thought it was
meant to be a series Gomez admitted in
an interview that while in production
for her new series she herself was going
through a difficult time the scar has
been opened with her struggles with
mental illness so she seems like a
perfect fit for this story that focuses
on issues like depression it definitely
hits home that's why I wanted to make
that I was still a part of this project
in anyway number three the series will
be getting very dark I'm about to tell
you the story of my life more
specifically why my life ended in the
early 21st century it's become more and
more popular for books geared toward
young adults to tackle difficult issues
like abuse mental health and suicide
thirteen reasons why is no exception
with the initial concept of the story
being based on the premise of a team
suicide my husband and I we never had a
note considering that the story is all
about how a girl's peers drove her to
the point where she wanted to end her
life we can assume that the subject of
bullying will be looked at in depth
whatever Hanna thought she saw she lied
about it on the stage because she's a
crazy drama queen who just killed
herself for attention the book deals
with tough subject matter but it looks
as though the Netflix series will be
taking it even one step further
considering the tone of the trailer I
think that as it progresses you just see
a side of clay when you see that he's
just confused
that maybe a little shy number two it's
based on a book in 2007 Razer build a
young adult imprint of penguin book
published 13 reasons why and it has been
released in 24 countries in 2011 the
paperback version climbed to the top of
the New York Times bestseller list the
novel has been honoured with many Award
nominations and has taken home the top
prize for the best book for young adults
from the young adult library services
Association so if you can't wait to
learn the details of the story on the
small screen you can head to your local
library or bookstore and grab a copy
right now and I share a lot of the
emails I get from teens who sometimes
come straight out and say the book saved
their lives it made them see things in a
totally different way because they were
suicidal or had attempted suicide in the
past number one Selena Gomez was
originally going to star in it can't
keep my hands to myself you probably
know Selena Gomez as an actress and
singer so it makes sense that originally
her plan was to star in the adaptation
of 13 reasons why back when it was going
to be a feature film in her mid-20s and
twenty sixteen to seventeen however
Gomez may have felt it would be more
authentic to Grant
younger actress the role of teenaged
high schooler Hannah Baker the role went
instead to 20 year old Australian
actress Katherine Langford but even
though she wasn't it she was physically
there for the first part of shooting you
know it it always felt like Celine and
Mandy with it because you know they
would send us emails and reach out and
often support it seems that Gomez is
attempting to try her hand and more
behind the camera role as she has
another TV project in the works that's
not yet in production as of early 2017
