'''''Degrassi: Next Class''''' is a Canadian television series primarily created by [[Linda Schuyler]]. The fifth and to date most recent series in the ''[[Degrassi]]'' [[Media franchise|franchise]] and a direct sequel to ''[[Degrassi: The Next Generation]],'' it premiered on [[Family Channel (Canadian TV network)|Family]]'s new teen programming block ''F2N'' in Canada on January 4, 2016, and was released on [[Netflix]] internationally on January 25, 2016.

The series follows most of the same characters that had debuted in the final four seasons of the previous series, as well as introducing new characters. Originally intended as the fifteenth season of ''Degrassi: The Next Generation'', it was later retooled to be a reboot that would appeal to the emerging [[Generation Z]]. Like its predecessor, the series was filmed at the [[Epitome Pictures]] studios in [[Toronto]], Ontario.

The fourth season, released to Netflix in July 2017, was the last; in March 2019, show producer and frequent director [[Stefan Brogren]] alluded to the show's cancellation in a tweet.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/degrassi-next-class-cancelled-producer-confirms-netflix-series-has-ended/|title=Degrassi: Next Class: Cancelled; Producer Confirms Netflix Series Has Ended|last=Pena|first=Jessica|date=March 7, 2019|website=TV Series Finale|access-date=May 25, 2019}}</ref>

== Development ==

===Concept===
''Degrassi: Next Class'' was originally intended to be the fifteenth season of ''[[Degrassi: The Next Generation]]''.<ref name=":1" /> In an interview with [[Vice (magazine)|Vice]], Linda Schuyler, one of the co-creators of the ''[[Degrassi]]'' franchise and a co-founder of Epitome Pictures, stated: "We realized that the kids we're talking to today are a new generation from the kids we talked to in 2001 when we came out with ''Degrassi: The Next Generation''. Then, we were very much talking to millennials. There's a new generation, Generation Z, who weren't even born when we started that show. That was a very sobering fact...We've done a lot of research into Generation Z and decided we need a reboot."<ref name=":1">{{cite web|last=Peltz|first=Jonathan|date=2015-08-03|title=High School Never Ends: An Interview with the Creators of 'Degrassi' &#124; VICE &#124; United States|url=https://www.vice.com/read/high-school-never-ends-we-interviewed-the-creators-of-degrassi-291|access-date=2015-08-11|publisher=VICE}}</ref>

When ''Degrassi: The Next Generation'' ended its run on [[TeenNick]] in the United States, the producers sought out other means to distribute the Next Class series and later made a deal with [[Netflix]].<ref>{{Cite magazine|last=Chan|first=Melissa|title=Watch the New Trailer for 'Degrassi: Next Class'|url=http://time.com/4125915/degrassi-next-class-trailer/|access-date=2017-09-21|magazine=Time}}</ref>

===Crew===
The series was created and executive produced by [[Linda Schuyler]], [[Stephen Stohn]], Sarah Glinski, and Matt Huether and produced by [[WildBrain Studios#DHX Studios Toronto|DHX Studios Toronto]] (a subsidiary of [[WildBrain|DHX Media]]).<ref name=":2">{{cite web |title=Family Channel's new teen block F2N launches January 4 with the premiere of Degrassi: Next... - TORONTO, Nov. 30, 2015 |url=http://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/family-channels-new-teen-block-f2n-launches-january-4-with-the-premiere-of-degrassi-next-class-558746201.html |access-date=2015-12-05 |website=Newswire.ca}}</ref> [[Epitome Pictures]], [[WildBrain|DHX Media]], and [[Netflix]] jointly produced the series with funding from the Shaw Rocket Fund, [[Royal Bank of Canada]] and the Cogeco Program Development Fund.

Continuing with ''Next Class'', Sarah Glinski and Matt Huether served as head story editors for the show. Other writers included Courtney Jane Walker, Alejandro Alcoba, Cole Bastedo. Jennifer Kassabian and Ian MacIntyre. Other directors for the series included cast member and producer Stefan Brogren, Eleanor Lindo, Phil Earnshaw, and Rt!.

===Episode format===
Each episode of ''Degrassi: Next Class'' is written following the same formula with three storylines (Plot A, Plot B and Plot C). The problems and issues presented in the episode are not always resolved by the end of the episode, and are carried over throughout the season, creating a mini-arc. With ''"Next Class"'', some episodes have the plots follow a common theme. This concept originated in ''[[Degrassi Junior High]]'' and ''[[Degrassi High]]''. Episode titles feature a "[[Hashtag|#]]" in the front of each episode title and occasionally refer to social media trends of the time.

===Opening sequence===
The opening sequence of ''Next Class'' adopted a 30-second format, in contrast to the heavily abridged sequence in the later seasons of ''The Next Generation.'' Stephen Stohn explained to ''[[TV Insider]]'' that while they wouldn't be necessarily returning to the "little vignettes of the characters" from earlier seasons, the new opening sequence would be "very reflective of Generation Z and how tuned-in they are to technology." The opening comes after a two-to three-minute [[cold open]] but does not follow the characters around the school. Instead, a montage of videos and pictures from the characters social media accounts cycle across the screen. Like the final two seasons of ''Degrassi'', instead of listing every ensemble actor in the opening, episodes only credit the regular actors appearing in that episode.

The opening sequence features a "more amped up, more electronic"<ref name="411-music">{{Cite news|last=LaScala|first=Marisa|title=The 'Degrassi: Next Class' Theme Song Updates The Classic "Whatever It Takes" For A New Generation|url=https://www.bustle.com/articles/135570-the-degrassi-next-class-theme-song-updates-the-classic-whatever-it-takes-for-a-new-generation|access-date=2017-09-21}}</ref> update of "Whatever It Takes", the theme music written for ''Degrassi: The Next Generation,'' this time produced by [[Rob Wells]] and Shobha, with the latter on vocals.<ref name=":2" />

===Filming locations===
''Degrassi: Next Class'' was filmed at Epitome Pictures' then-four soundstages and backlot located at the company's {{convert|100000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} production studios in Toronto, the same studio where ''Degrassi: The Next Generation'' was filmed. The [[facade]] of Degrassi Community School was the exterior of Studio C, and used the same colours and glass pattern as [[Centennial College (Canada)|Centennial College]], which was used to depict the school during ''Degrassi High''.

The area in front of this facade featured a "hoarding area" where students would gather, a street, and a bus stop across the road.<ref name="studios">{{cite web |title=Epitome Pictures |url=http://www.epitomepictures.com/ |access-date=October 21, 2007 |publisher=[[Epitome Pictures]] |format=Flash (User must select the "Studios" link)}}</ref> The studio's backlot was used for exterior shots of the characters' houses, which was one unit dressed differently for each house, and The Dot Grill.<ref name="backlot">{{Harvnb|Ellis|2005|pp=116–117}}</ref> The building for The Dot was the only one on the backlot large enough to allow filming inside; scenes taking places inside the school and house interiors were filmed on one of four sound stages.<ref name="studios" />

Studio A contained sets for the school's hallways, washrooms, cafeteria and classrooms.<ref name="studios" /> The hallways were stenciled with phrases such as "the perfect human being is all human", which were found at the Etobicoke School for the Arts, one of the many schools that set designers used during their original research. The washroom set was used for the girls' and boys' room; urinals were installed and removed as needed."<ref name="stage a">{{Harvnb|Ellis|2005|p=115}}</ref> It was also used as the studio's cafeteria where the cast and crew eat.<ref name="stage a" />

In addition to being used as the exterior of the school, Studio C held sets for the school's entrance foyer, the gymnasium, the media lab and a hallway with lockers.<ref name="studios" /> As the franchise progressed and the budget increased, a stairway and balcony was installed in the foyer in an attempt to get characters off the floor and not all appear in the same [[Plane (mathematics)|geometric plane]]. For the first few seasons of ''The Next Generation'', the gym floor was made of real wooden floorboards; due to warping, it was replaced by concrete painted to look like wood.<ref name="stage c">{{Harvnb|Ellis|2005|pp=112–114}}</ref>

Studio B contained the sets for the characters' houses. The fourth studio, Studio D, housed all the production offices, dressing rooms, and make-up and hair departments.

For the new series, ''Next Class'', the interior of the school set saw a major facelift. New doors were added for all classrooms, room numbers were placed on doors, classrooms were remodeled to be more modern which included new "smart-boards" and [[high-definition television]] sets (also placed throughout the hallways, cafeteria and gym), and the lockers were repainted for a more "retro" look. Several new sets were also added which include: a new student lounge room, an area called the "conversation pit", a remodeled classroom for Digital arts, and a restaurant called "Lola's Cantina".<ref>{{cite web|date=2016-01-15|title=Inside The Studio with Ana Golja and Dante Scott - Degrassi: Next Class|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiDV2q3oLqY|access-date=2016-01-31|publisher=YouTube}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|date=2017-01-08|title=Behind-The-Scenes Of Degrassi: Next Class With Ana Golja & Sara Waisglass|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ydpHlkpyBw|access-date=2017-01-30|publisher=YouTube}}</ref>

=== Cancellation ===
In March 2019, Stefan Brogren alluded to the show's cancellation in a tweet.<ref name=":0" /> [[Sara Waisglass]], who played Frankie Hollingsworth, recalled to the ''[[Toronto Star]]'' in 2022 that she was disappointed at the cancellation and revealed: "They never told us anything. We had our contracts and the way it worked was they had to tell you by a certain date if we were picked up or not. We just never heard from them again."<ref>{{Cite news |date=August 20, 2022 |title=After Degrassi: Where are they now? |pages=C12 |work=Toronto Star}} {{ProQuest|2704196087}}</ref>

==Premise==
