Degrassi Latest News, Photos, and Videos

Degrassi: Next Class has a history of grappling with real-world, serious topics as they apply to today’s teens, from crippling depression to sexuality to drug addiction.

Season four, which debuts on Netflix July 7, is no different, and in a new clip, it deals with an entirely new topic for the show.

In a new Entertainment Weekly clip, Yael (Jamie Bloch) tells Lola (Amanda Arcuri) that they have been feeling like they don’t identify as a girl or a boy.

“I don’t feel like a girl, or what everyone thinks is a girl,” Yael explains, “I don’t like makeup or stuff like you do. I really, really hate my boobs� But I’m definitely not a boy either.”

Lola responds in a totally positive way, encouraging her friend to consider the concept of genderfluidity, and showing Yael a gender queer vlogger as an example.

“They feel like they’re between a boy or girl. Or both. Or neither,” explains Lola. “If being a boy or girl is made up, then you can make whatever you want.”

It’s amazing to see Degrassi exploring a topic that many of its viewers may be dealing with, and we can’t wait to see how Yael explores their identity this season.

Netflix dropped the dramatic season 4 trailer for Degrassi: Next Class last week and we are literally counting down the days until it premieres!

Fortunately, now we have a day to count down to: TVLine reports that the next season will come to our TVs on Friday, July 7. That’s right, the new season drops on Netflix in exactly one week!

The fourth season will tackle everything from love triangles (as usual) to the treatment of Muslim students, which is super topical and important for our country right now.

Watch the trailer below and get excited!

Graduation is looming in this first look trailer for the upcoming fourth season of Degrassi: Next Class!

In case you’re unfamiliar with the Netflix series, it tackles the real-life issues of high school students, focusing on a group of teens as they begin their journey into adulthood.

In the trailer, we see topical issues take form in the storylines, including a powerful one about the treatment of Muslim students.

Plus, there’s plenty of love triangle drama too. Watch below!

Degrassi: Next Class season four doesn’t have a premiere date yet, but stay tuned for more information!

In season 3, Degrassi‘s Lola Pancini (played by Amanda Arcuri) tries out a blue, we mean, new, hair color.

As much as we love to see her rock a bright new color, we do miss the classic pink, because she wore it so well! This post is a tribute to Lola’s fluorescent, gorgeous, bubble-gum hair that makes us wonder every time we see it: Could we pull that off?

Degrassi season 3 is available on Netflix now. Here are some of the (tbh endless) times Lola made pink the new black:

President Donald Trump‘s Muslim Ban is now in effect and the entire country’s hearts are breaking over it.

Activist Malala Yousafzai wrote a brilliant statement on the ban, which prohibits those of Muslim faith from entering the United States.

It hits even further home when you watch Degrassi: Next Class and see the two Syrian refugee characters on there and what it possibly could be like for real refugees.

“I’m hoping that it’s going to put a human face on young Muslim people, because I think the rhetoric these days can be so painful and stereotypical,” showrunner Linda Schuyler shares in a new interview. “We’re trying to break down the stereotypes and encourage people to accept others; you don’t have to like every person, but please take the chance to get to know them.”

She adds, “These are living, breathing, beautiful human beings who just need an opportunity to be heard instead of judged for where they come from. I love having the opportunity to tell these kinds of stories, and that’s what has kept me going for so long with Degrassi.”

Seasons 1-2 of Degrassi: Next Class were good, we grant you. But Season 3 took things up a notch in just about every respect. We know, we’ve bingewatched it.

In Degrassi: Next Class Season 3, the characters each have their time to shine, their insecurities and strengths are highlighted, and we might have cried a few more times than we did in the previous seasons (okay, a lot more times.)

Much of this is due to plot, and we applaud the writers this season for giving us a series of absolutely jaw-dropping moments that made us laugh, clap, and bury our heads in our hands.

Prepare yourself: If you have not watched Season 3 yet and don’t want to know what happens, proceed with caution, because there are major storylines revealed inside.

But if you’d like to share in the most amazing moments of what we like to call one of the best young adult shows on television, here you go:
