This is a show that centers around the lives of about 20 kids (Ellie, Emma, Jimmy, Spinner, Hazel, Manny, Paige, Craig, Ashley, JT, Liberty, Toby, Kendra, Dylan, Terri, Sean, Marco, Jay, Alex, and Chris) who all go to the same school of Degrassi, in which some of them are sons/daughters of a few of the cast members of the original Degrassi. The show deals with a lot of the realistic problems that teenagers go through nowadays (eg., cutting, homosexuality, death, dating, drinking, abuse, rape, etc) and how they deal with them.
It's a brave new world as the Next Generation of Degrassi confronts all new issues. But, this environment is much different than the one faced by generations before. It's filled with the Internet, body piercing, hip-hop and more opportunities for pitfalls than ever. Remember when meeting pen pals wasn't risky? These kids may be more media savvy than their parents, but they aren't necessarily more sophisticated. A whole new generation ventures through the trial and tribulations of adolescence, with a one-hour kick-off episode (featuring favorites from Degrassi's past) and a cliffhanger that you won't want to miss.
Watch Emma and "next generation" classmates, Manny, Toby, J.T., Liberty, Sean , Ashley, Paige, Terri, Spinner and Jimmy as they encounter pressure, temptation and revel in the glory that comes with being young.
