Degrassi (up to the tenth season Degrassi: The Next Generation ) is a Canadian youth series that was restructured into a telenovela at the beginning of the tenth season . After Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High, it forms the third spin-off of the soap opera Bei Uns und Besan , which ran on CBC Television in the 1980s. The series was filmed at Epitome Studios in Toronto , Ontario .
The series started on October 14, 2001 on the Canadian broadcaster CTV . In 2010, the series switched to its youth-oriented sister channel MuchMusic during its ninth season . MTV Germany has been broadcasting the series since October 24, 2011 . Unlike in Canada, the German broadcast begins with the beginning of the eighth season. The series was initially broadcast on free-to-air television by VIVA ; since the start of the Nicknight program block it has also been shown at Nickelodeon . The eighth and ninth seasons ran there between November 7, 2011 and May 7, 2012.
In June 2015, MTV Canada and TeenNick announced that the series would end with season 14. The series finale aired on July 31, 2015. A short time later it was announced that there will be a new offshoot in 2016 with Degrassi: The next class , which will be seen exclusively on Netflix.
