Where Is the 13 Reasons Why Cast Now? Inside the Unexpected Career Shifts
By Alexander Ross
Katherine Langford was an unknown Australian actor when she booked Hannah Baker. Her poignant, haunting portrayal earned her a 2018 Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Television Drama Series. Langford exited the show as a series regular after season two, a calculated maneuver that allowed her to avoid narrative fatigue.
Langford immediately demonstrated her range. She jumped into Rian Johnson’s star-studded murder mystery Knives Out (2019), led Brian Duffield’s dark coming-of-age comedy Spontaneous, and carried Netflix’s Arthurian fantasy series Cursed. Langford has since split her time between independent films, European mini-series, and global fashion campaigns, maintaining an enigmatic profile that distances her from algorithmic Hollywood casting.
Alisha Boe, who portrayed survivor Jessica Davis, took an equally sharp career path. Boe built momentum through character-driven projects. She appeared in Jesse Eisenberg’s directorial debut When You Finish Saving the World and Netflix’s dark teen satire Do Revenge.
Her biggest critical turning point arrived with Apple TV+’s neo-noir mystery series Sugar, where she starred opposite Colin Farrell. Industry observers routinely cite Boe as one of the ensemble’s most versatile dramatic talents, praising her calculated shift toward mature prestige television.
