SPOILER ALERT: If you do not know the ending to 13 Reasons Why season 3 do NOT read any further!
Season 3 of Netflix drama 13 Reasons Why was a wild ride, and has been dubbed by the Girlfriend office (as well as the wider internet) as hands down its best season yet.
Season 3 saw the uber-popular show kill off two of its main characters – Bryce Walker and Monty de la Cruz – as well as making the latter a murderer.
Now we are not in the business of wild fan theories, but there is a convincing conspiracy that suggests Monty is really alive, and we can’t cope.

Now that we’re thinking about it it, Monty’s death seems more than a little suss.
To start off with we never actually saw Monty die, we merely heard it from shady character Ani which means the death of a major character was essentially learnt through Chinese whispers.
That ain’t right y’all.
Point number two: The show never gave us any details of Monty’s death. Monty dying seemed like a highly convenient plot point as he was eventually blamed for the murder of Bryce Walker, but when you think about, it seems almost right that the writers were just setting up Monty’s storyline for season four.
If you needed any further convincing, one genius Reddit user laid out the theory in full.
When we start bringing back the dead we’re heading into the precarious arena Gossip Girl found itself in (do not get us started on that Bart Bass trainwreck), but even we have to admit this theory does not seem outlandish for 13 Reasons Why.
Tons of fans have taken to Twitter to voice their agreeance of the twist, with many people out there convinced Monty is still alive.
Timothy Granaderos – the actor who plays Monty – told Entertainment Weekly he’s hoping his character returns next season: “I’d hope to get to unpack more of his story.
“It was a tragic ending to a tragic story that I feel like there is so much more to explore with what he was going through and how he was processing things,” Timothy said. “It was rejuvenating to be able to talk from Montgomery’s heart and not put up this wall of defense and aggression. It’s a sad story that I’d love to see more of if Monty does get to come back in some way.”
