Cast ( edit ) Main article : List of Degrassi : Next Class characters Main ( edit ) Starting with season 1 of Next Class , none of the characters who debuted during the changes happening in seasons eight and nine of The Next Generation remain . The students featured were introduced starting in seasons eleven , thirteen , and fourteen of the previous incarnation along with several new characters for the follow - up series . The first and second seasons featured 19 regular roles , with 14 cast members returning from season 14 of Degrassi . Keeping ties to the early seasons of the previous incarnation and the franchise as a whole , Stefan Brogren 's character remains the Principal of Degrassi Community School . According to Amir Bageria , the currently renewed season four will be the last season for a majority of the first cast of Next Class as their characters graduate . Seasons three and four added two regulars to the cast , as casting calls were made public through Larissa Mair Casting . On October 21 , 2016 , it was confirmed that the cast members in a photo executive producer Stephen Stohn posted were the ones leaving the cast at the end of season four . This includes : Eric Osborne ( Miles Hollingsworth III ) , Ricardo Hoyos ( Zig Novak ) , Andre Kim ( Winston Chu ) , Ehren Kassam ( Jonah Haak ) , Ana Golja ( Zoe Rivas ) , Lyle Lettau ( Tristan Milligan ) , Nikki Gould ( Grace Cardinal ) , Olivia Scriven ( Maya Matlin ) , Richard Walters ( Tiny Bell ) and Soma Bhatia ( Goldi Nahir ) . Guest appearances ( edit ) Several recurring cast members from the previous incarnation continued their roles in Degrassi : Next Class , a majority being the parents and teachers of the students at Degrassi Community School . David Sutcliffe of Gilmore Girls fame appeared in a season one episode as himself . In season two , several cast members from the first incarnation made guest appearances for the 500th episode of the Degrassi franchise . These cast members include Adamo Ruggiero as Marco Del Rossi , Miriam McDonald as Emma Nelson , Lauren Collins as Paige Michalchuk , Shane Kippel as Gavin `` Spinner '' Mason , and Sarah Barrable - Tishauer as Liberty Van Zandt . Jamie Johnston , who portrayed Peter Stone in seasons five through ten of Degrassi : The Next Generation , also made his return for the second season , appearing in several episodes . Other previous cast members that appeared include Raymond Ablack as Sav Bhandari , Charlotte Arnold as Holly J. Sinclair , Jake Epstein as Craig Manning , and Jacob Neayem as Mo Mashkour . In season 3 and 4 , Chloe Rose reprised her role for three episodes as Katie Matlin . Epstein also made a return guest appearance in season 4 . Production ( edit ) Concept ( edit ) The original idea for `` Degrassi : Next Class '' was to be the fifteenth season of Degrassi : The Next Generation , but under a new title . In an interview with Vice , Linda Schuyler , founder of Epitome and one of the producers of the original The Kids of Degrassi Street said `` 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 were n'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 . '' 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 . Executive producers , script - writers and directors ( edit ) Epitome Pictures , DHX Media , and Netflix jointly produce the series with funding from the Shaw Rocket Fund , Royal Bank of Canada and the Cogeco Program Development Fund . Franchise co-creator Linda Schuyler and her husband Stephen Stohn serve as executive producers for the series . Other executive producers include Sarah Glinkski , Matt Huether and Brendon Yorke . Continuing with Next Class , Sarah Glinski and Matt Huether serve as head story editors for the show . Other writers include Courtney Jane Walker , Alejandro Alcoba , Cole Bastedo . Jennifer Kassabian and Ian MacIntyre . Current directors for the series include series star and producer Stefan Brogren , Eleanor Lindo , Phil Earnshaw , and Rt ! . Episode format ( edit ) 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 was featured in Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High . Episode titles feature a `` # '' in the front of each episode title and occasionally refer to current social media trends . Opening sequence ( edit ) The opening sequence of `` Next Class '' returned to the longer openings that was featured in the first twelve seasons of `` The Next Generation '' but was cut to 31 seconds . 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 theme music , `` Whatever It Takes '' , was composed by Jim McGrath , with lyrics written by Jody Colero and Stephen Stohn . The lyrics for the theme music for the first four seasons of `` Next Class '' were the same as theme music for `` The Next Generation . '' The `` Next Class '' opening sequence featured a rearranged version of `` Whatever It Takes '' composed by Jody Colero , Jim McGrath , Stephen Stohn , Rob Wells , and Shobha . Shobha also recorded the song . Filming locations ( edit ) The Degrassi universe is set on De Grassi Street in Toronto , Ontario . The four previous series were filmed on and near that street . However , Degrassi is currently filmed at Epitome Pictures ' four soundstages and backlot located at the company 's 100,000 - square - foot ( 9,300 m ) production studios in Toronto . The facade of Degrassi Community School is the exterior of Studio C , and uses the same colours and glass pattern as Centennial College , which was used to depict the school during Degrassi High . The area in front of this facade features a `` hoarding area '' where students gather , a street , and a bus stop across the road . The studio 's backlot is used for exterior shots of the characters ' houses , which is one unit dressed differently for each house , and The Dot Grill . The building for The Dot is the only one on the backlot large enough to allow filming inside ; scenes taking places inside the school and house interiors are filmed on one of four sound stages . Studio A contains sets for the school 's hallways , washrooms , cafeteria and classrooms . The hallways are 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 is used for the girls ' and boys ' room ; urinals are installed and removed as needed . '' It is also used as the studio 's cafeteria where the cast and crew eat . In addition to being used as the exterior of the school , Studio C holds sets for the school 's entrance foyer , the gymnasium , the media lab and a hallway with lockers . 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 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 . Studio B contains the sets for the characters ' houses . The fourth studio , Studio D , houses 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 '' . Broadcast ( edit ) In Canada , the series premiered on January 4 , 2016 , on Family 's new teen programing block , F2N . In the United States ( and internationally ) , first - run episodes began streaming internationally on Netflix on January 15 , 2016 ( excluding Canada , Australia and France ) . Episodes will be available on Netflix in Canada , Australia and France following the conclusion of the first season . Season two premiered on the Family Channel on July 19 , 2016 and on Netflix on July 22 , 2016 . In Australia , the series premiered on ABC3 on May 16 , 2016 . The second season immediately followed the first season on ABC3 in Australia on May 30 . On January 6 , 2017 , Netflix added seasons 1 -- 3 to the Australian catalogue . Season 3 began streaming online on Netflix before its debut on ABC3 , starting April 22 , 2017 .

Starting with season 1 of Next Class , none of the characters who debuted during the changes happening in seasons eight and nine of The Next Generation remain . The students featured were introduced starting in seasons eleven , thirteen , and fourteen of the previous incarnation along with several new characters for the follow - up series .

Keeping ties to the early seasons of the previous incarnation and the franchise as a whole , Stefan Brogren 's character remains the Principal of Degrassi Community School . According to Amir Bageria , the currently renewed season four will be the last season for a majority of the first cast of Next Class as their characters graduate . Seasons three and four added two regulars to the cast , as casting calls were made public through Larissa Mair Casting . On October 21 , 2016 , it was confirmed that the cast members in a photo executive producer Stephen Stohn posted were the ones leaving the cast at the end of season four .

Several recurring cast members from the previous incarnation continued their roles in Degrassi : Next Class , a majority being the parents and teachers of the students at Degrassi Community School . David Sutcliffe of Gilmore Girls fame appeared in a season one episode as himself . In season two , several cast members from the first incarnation made guest appearances for the 500th episode of the Degrassi franchise . These cast members include Adamo Ruggiero as Marco Del Rossi , Miriam McDonald as Emma Nelson , Lauren Collins as Paige Michalchuk , Shane Kippel as Gavin `` Spinner '' Mason , and Sarah Barrable - Tishauer as Liberty Van Zandt .

The original idea for `` Degrassi : Next Class '' was to be the fifteenth season of Degrassi : The Next Generation , but under a new title . In an interview with Vice , Linda Schuyler , founder of Epitome and one of the producers of the original The Kids of Degrassi Street said `` 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 were n'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 . '' 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 . Epitome Pictures , DHX Media , and Netflix jointly produce the series with funding from the Shaw Rocket Fund , Royal Bank of Canada and the Cogeco Program Development Fund . Franchise co-creator Linda Schuyler and her husband Stephen Stohn serve as executive producers for the series . Other executive producers include Sarah Glinkski , Matt Huether and Brendon Yorke . Continuing with Next Class , Sarah Glinski and Matt Huether serve as head story editors for the show . Other writers include Courtney Jane Walker , Alejandro Alcoba , Cole Bastedo . Jennifer Kassabian and Ian MacIntyre . Current directors for the series include series star and producer Stefan Brogren , Eleanor Lindo , Phil Earnshaw , and Rt ! . 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 was featured in Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High . Episode titles feature a `` # '' in the front of each episode title and occasionally refer to current social media trends . The opening sequence of `` Next Class '' returned to the longer openings that was featured in the first twelve seasons of `` The Next Generation '' but was cut to 31 seconds . 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 theme music , `` Whatever It Takes '' , was composed by Jim McGrath , with lyrics written by Jody Colero and Stephen Stohn . The lyrics for the theme music for the first four seasons of `` Next Class '' were the same as theme music for `` The Next Generation . '' The `` Next Class '' opening sequence featured a rearranged version of `` Whatever It Takes '' composed by Jody Colero , Jim McGrath , Stephen Stohn , Rob Wells , and Shobha . Shobha also recorded the song . The Degrassi universe is set on De Grassi Street in Toronto , Ontario . The four previous series were filmed on and near that street . However , Degrassi is currently filmed at Epitome Pictures ' four soundstages and backlot located at the company 's 100,000 - square - foot ( 9,300 m ) production studios in Toronto . The facade of Degrassi Community School is the exterior of Studio C , and uses the same colours and glass pattern as Centennial College , which was used to depict the school during Degrassi High . The area in front of this facade features a `` hoarding area '' where students gather , a street , and a bus stop across the road . The studio 's backlot is used for exterior shots of the characters ' houses , which is one unit dressed differently for each house , and The Dot Grill . The building for The Dot is the only one on the backlot large enough to allow filming inside ; scenes taking places inside the school and house interiors are filmed on one of four sound stages . Studio A contains sets for the school 's hallways , washrooms , cafeteria and classrooms . The hallways are 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 is used for the girls ' and boys ' room ; urinals are installed and removed as needed . '' It is also used as the studio 's cafeteria where the cast and crew eat . In addition to being used as the exterior of the school , Studio C holds sets for the school 's entrance foyer , the gymnasium , the media lab and a hallway with lockers . 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 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 . Studio B contains the sets for the characters ' houses . The fourth studio , Studio D , houses 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 '' . In Canada , the series premiered on January 4 , 2016 , on Family 's new teen programing block , F2N . In the United States ( and internationally ) , first - run episodes began streaming internationally on Netflix on January 15 , 2016 ( excluding Canada , Australia and France ) . Episodes will be available on Netflix in Canada , Australia and France following the conclusion of the first season . Season two premiered on the Family Channel on July 19 , 2016 and on Netflix on July 22 , 2016 . In Australia , the series premiered on ABC3 on May 16 , 2016 . The second season immediately followed the first season on ABC3 in Australia on May 30 . On January 6 , 2017 , Netflix added seasons 1 -- 3 to the Australian catalogue . Season 3 began streaming online on Netflix before its debut on ABC3 , starting April 22 , 2017 .
