She captioned the clip: 'Their story isn't over. Season 2 of #13ReasonsWhy is coming (sic).'
The show will pick up in the aftermath of Hannah's shocking death, following the other characters as they start to recover.
It will consist of 13 episodes, the same process as season one.
Dylan, from the horror Don't Breathe, played the male lead Clay Jensen whilst Katherine Langford played the protagonist Hannah Baker.

No other details about plot or characters been revealed but showrunner Brian Yorkey recently insisted to The Hollywood Reporter that if the show did return Katherine - who plays Hannah - would also be back.
He said: 'Hannah's story is still very much not finished. She's an integral part of whatever the next chapter of the story is, and she's very much still at the centre of it.'
The show has been slammed for depicting Hannah's suicide in graphic detail but writer Nic Sheff recently defended the decision.

He said in a Vanity Fair op-ed: 'When it came time to discuss the portrayal of the protagonist’s suicide in '13 Reasons Why', I of course immediately flashed on my own experience.
'It seemed to me the perfect opportunity to show what an actual suicide really looks like.
'To dispel the myth of the quiet drifting off, and to make viewers face the reality of what happens when you jump from a burning building into something much, much worse.'

He continued: 'It overwhelmingly seems to me that the most irresponsible thing we could've done would have been not to show the death at all.
In AA, they call it playing the tape: encouraging alcoholics to really think through in detail the exact sequence of events that will occur after relapse.
'It's the same thing with suicide. To play the tape through is to see the ultimate reality that suicide is not a relief at all — it's a screaming, agonising, horror.'
Congratulations! The cast looked over the moon to be presenting the coveted award

He continued to say that he's happy people are actually dealing with these issues: 'Of course, the fact that we're even having these discussions speaks of real progress to me.'
'When it comes to suicide, I believe the message should be exactly the same. Facing these issues head-on — talking about them, being open about them — will always be our best defense against losing another life.'
Each episode of the first season showed Hannah dedicating a tape to one of her classmates, explaining to them why they were one of the reasons for her ultimate suicide.
