So certainly going into breaking story for season 4, we knew it was the end.
You’re not going to do13 Reasons Why: The College Years.
[Laughs]No, we’re not.

This season is shorter than normal, with only 10 episodes.
It served the story better, and 10 episodes ended up being the sweet spot for us.
I think 10 episodes is a nice length for a season.
DAVID MOIR/NETFLIX
It’s the right number, you’ll see that when we get to the end.
Season 3 ended on the Winston cliffhanger.
What’s the mystery at the center of season 4?
DAVID MOIR/NETFLIX
Is it simply: Will they get away with it?
How will all of that affect the kids?
There is that driving mystery of: Are they going to get away with it?
DAVID MOIR/NETFLIX
So the mystery drives you forward, but the emotion and the characters drive you deep.
I’m sure some fans caught that both Justin Prentice and Timothy Granaderos were in thefarewell video.
Seeing as how both their characters are dead, are we once again dealing with multiple timelines?
DAVID MOIR/NETFLIX
I, personally, am so excited to have Tony back in my life.
Everybody needs a Tony in their life.
Is there a particular character’s storyline you were excited to dig into in season 4?
DAVID MOIR/NETFLIX
I love all these characters like they’re my kids.
There’s so much pressure put on the series finale of a show, on its ending.
Did you feel that sense of pressure writing this?
DAVID MOIR/NETFLIX
Hell yeah, I felt that pressure.
And I will say, I’m incredibly proud of our finale episode.
I think it’s very special and it’s also supersized.
DAVID MOIR/NETFLIX
Was there a certain feeling or message that you wanted to end the series on?
We wanted to end the series hopefully, but we wanted it to be earned hope.
That’s what we wanted and I think and hope we achieved that.
