13 Reasons Why is all the heat office / anyone with a Netflix account is talking about right now, and for good reason. It's not often that a TV show can generate so many important discussions about mental health, society in general and leave viewers with so many unanswered questions.

But like many other popular series, prominent fan theories about 13 Reasons Why are finally coming to light – because what else would keep us busy until the second series?

Take this particular fan theory, that centres around Alex – who appears to shoot himself in a shocking twist at the end of the series – unable to live with the guilt over Hannah Baker.

The theory suggests that Alex didn't shoot himself, but was in fact murdered by a fellow student OR Tyler the photographer, who was seen removing Alex's picture in the dark room, leaving behind the rest of the students.

According to many viewers, the final scene implies that he is killing off those who wronged Hannah one by one. In some sort of order. And we did see that Tyler owned a gun earlier on in the series, so why would they show that if it wasn't important/related to the ending?

However, actor Miles Heizer (who plays Alex) has seemed to shut down the theory, telling the Hollywood Reporter that his character did attempt to die by suicide.

He revealed: "It was interesting to see similarities between Alex and Hannah, because there are a lot of warning signs throughout the season.

"That's another subject that's very rarely shown on screen and is probably a lot more common than people think it is.

"People attempting to take their lives and it not happening, I'm sure that will bring a crazy set of issues. It would be interesting to go into that."

At least we'll be able to find out, coz Selena Gomez has announced that there WILL BE A SECOND SERIES. YAAAAAS.

Selena uploaded the video to her 199 million followers with the caption, 'Their story isn't over'.

We. are. so. Excited.
