Who plays Jess Davis in 13 Reasons Why?

Alisha Boe has played Jess Davis in 13 Reasons Why seasons one, two and three.

Jess was a former close friend of Hannah Baker (Katherine Langford) and was second on the list of the reasons why Hannah took her own life.

She had blamed Hannah for her friendship with Alex (Miles Heizer) coming to an end when that was not the case at all.

Jessica then dated basketball player Justin Foley (Brandon Flynn).

On the tapes, Hannah revealed Jessica was raped at her own party by Bryce when she was unconscious.

Jessica vaguely remembered having sex with Bryce but was reassured by Justin it was with him – however, Justin was lying to protect her.

Justin finally told her the truth after he could no longer stand Byrce and Jess spending time together.

In season two, Jessica gave testimony at Hannah’s trial and received a series of threatening notes and pictures to prevent her from telling her truth.

When Jessica did take to the stand, she spoke about the bullying culture at Liberty High School but did not tell the truth about Byrce.

In season three, Byrce Walker was found dead and immediately fans suspected his victim Jess to be the killer.

However, it was Alex who accidentally killed Byrce but the finger was cleverly pointed at Montgomery “Monty” de la Cruz (Timothy Granaderos).

Alisha told Cosmopolitan: “I was also disappointed because I wanted to be the one [to kill Byrce]. I wanted to be the one to actually do it…I was, twistingly enough, happy I was a part of it because it makes sense in the story of it.”

Speaking about her character’s journey coming to an end in the fourth and final series, Alisha told Refinery 29: |I started this show when I was 19 and I’m about to turn 23. So, it’s kind of like my college years.

“I’ve grown up with this character. I’ve learned so much and I feel like a different person, but in the best way possible.”
