The kids of Degrassi are back and will be bringing even more of the drama and challenges we’ve come to love!
The first half of the season aired during the summer and introduced a huge group of new students, most of whom are part of the visiting hockey team, the Toronto Ice Hounds. The first half saw Eli having trouble with the school musical, Drew dropping out of Degrassi and becoming estranged from his mother, Becky having her mind broadened by Adam and Clare attempting to get revenge on her former mentor, Asher.
In the second half of the season, Becky develops feelings for Adam and worries about the reaction of her religious and conservative parents, Bianca tries to get Drew to reconcile with his mum and return to Degrassi and Eli looks for a new outlet for his creativity. The season will also include new story lines that deal with bullying, gender identity issues and depression.
