13 Reasons Why series will have a video warning about graphic scenes after fan outrage over suicide and rape scenes, announce Netflix
The measure has been brought in following last year's backlash
SEASON two of Netflix suicide drama 13 Reasons Why will come with a warning after the first series caused a storm over its graphic content.
According to Justin - who plays Bryce - will say at the start of every episode: "13 Reasons Why is a fictional series that tackles tough, real world issues, taking a look at sexual assault, substance abuse, suicide and more."
The new series of 13 Reasons Why will feature a special message before each episodeHis co-star Alisha - who plays Jessica - will then add: "But if you are struggling with these issues yourself, this series may not be right for you.
";Or you may want to watch it with a trusted adult."
13 Reason Why's second season will air this year, however a start date is yet to be confirmed.
The first series began with a US teenager called Hannah, played by Katherine Langford, taking her own life.
But before her suicide, she had recorded 13 tapes for 13 different people, explaining the reason behind her death and 'blaming' them for it.
The show rapidly found itself at the centre of a backlash, with two schools in the UK even warning parents not to let their kids watch it alone.
Earlier this month, an inquest also heard that schoolgirl Lily Mae Sharp, who took her life aged just 13, was a fan of the show.
But US star Selena Gomez, who is one of 13 Reasons Why's executive producers, has previously spoken out and defended the programme.
Speaking last year, she said: "We stayed very true to the book...what Jay Asher created was a beautifully tragic, complicated yet suspenseful story and I think that’s what we wanted to do.
"We wanted to do it justice and, yeah, [the backlash is] gonna come no matter what.
"It’s not an easy subject to talk about, but I’m very fortunate with how it’s doing. I'm overwhelmed, I'm very proud of it."
Details for season two's plot are still relatively vague, but showrunner Brian Yorkey previously confirmed that the character Hannah will no longer narrate the show - but will feature in flashbacks.

He said: “There’s voiceover in every episode, but the voiceover is no longer Hannah.
"The voiceover and the stories that are being told bring us into the past and back to the present much in the way that Hannah’s voiceover did in season 1.”
Brian hinted that Jessica will be a main focus for many episodes.
