Creation
In 1999, a talk show called Jonovision held reunion episodes featuring some of the original Degrassi High cast members. The reunion's popularity inspired franchise co-creator Linda Schuyler to start developing a revival of the franchise. She pitched the revival to CTV, which offered $10 million for a fifteen-episode season. The project was greenlit in May 2000. Soon after, crew members for the show attended a conference in New York to find an American partner for the show. In her memoir,Linda...
Premise
The show itself started off with reintroducing the character Emma Nelson from Degrassi High, where she was born to Christine (Spike) Nelson.

The characters change to follow the real-life transitions in high school. Challenges and issues that the char...

Plot C was usually used sporadically in a season-long arc, but is now used in every episode as comedic relief. The...

Eleven children were given star billing in the first season. Sarah Barrable-Tishauer portrayed the lonel...
