13 Reasons Why's Dylan Minnette & Katherine Langford Cover 'Entertainment Weekly's Latest Issue

Katherine Langford leans on co-star Dylan Minnette for the latest cover of Entertainment Weekly.

Here’s what the minds behind 13 Reasons Why had to share:

Showrunner Bryan Yorkey on the touchy subjects: “For people who aren’t in high school, this show is a peek at what high school is like nowadays. It was supremely important that we do everything we could to tell the truth.”

Author Jay Asher on the impact: “If the book or TV show can get people talking about these uncomfortable things, that’s beautiful.”

Katherine on the show: “Being a young person and not too far out of high school myself, I think it’s important that people are able to see representations of these issues and characters they can relate to.”
