Last week, word broke that _Degrassi_ would [end its 14-year-run on TeenNick](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/06/04/degrassi-end-its-14-season-run-july) this July. As EW initially reported, though, that didn’t mean Degrassi Community School was closing its doors for good: The series’ producers planned to transfer it to another to-be-announced broadcaster. Now that broadcaster has been revealed: Both Netflix and Canada’s Family Channel will air 20 new episodes of _Degrassi_ starting in early 2016\. What’s more, the latest version of the show is also gaining a new subtitle: _Next Class_. “We are energized and excited to work with Family Channel as we tell stories for the new post-millennial teen cohort known as Generation Z, most of whom weren’t even born when _Degrassi_ returned in 2001,” said _Degrassi_ co-creator and executive producer Linda Schuyler in a statement. ​Members of the show’s mammoth cast who will reprise their roles in _Next Class_ include—deep breath—Amanda Arcuri as Lola Pacini; Reiya Downs as Shay Powers; Ana Golja as Zoe Rivas; Nikki Gould as Grace Cardinal; Ricardo Hoyos as Zig Novak; Ehren Kassam as Jonah Haak; Andre Kim as Winston Chu; Lyle Lettau as Tristan Milligan; Spencer Macpherson as Hunter Hollingsworth; Eric Osborne as Miles Hollingsworth III; Olivia Scriven as Maya Matlin; Sara Waisglass as Frankie Hollingsworth; and Richard Walters as Deon “Tiny” Bell. They’re part of a long, proud history that stretches back a full 35 years, when the first iteration of the _Degrassi_ franchise (called _The Kids of Degrassi_ _Street_) first hit Canadian television. The latest version of _Degrassi_, initially titled _Degrassi: The Next Generation_, has aired 485 episodes and is the longest-running dramatic TV series in Canadian history. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/06/09/degrassi-next-class-netflix) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com)_._ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3914042/degrassi-netflix/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3914042/degrassi-netflix/"},"headline":"Degrassi Is Coming to Netflix","datePublished":"2015-06-09T12:59:29.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T08:02:16.467Z","description":"School's back in session early 2016","url":"https://time.com/3914042/degrassi-netflix/","keywords":["Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf84c1d6b27be47ea/698853168e06016752460cea/degrassi-season-14.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Hillary Busis / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf84c1d6b27be47ea/698853168e06016752460cea/degrassi-season-14.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"degrassi season 14","caption":"degrassi season 14","creditText":"Steve Wilkie","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3914042/degrassi-netflix/","name":"Degrassi Is Coming to Netflix"}}]}] ```
