Before high school drama shows like Euphoria or Pretty Little Liars, there was Canadian teen drama series Degrassi.

Now, it’s getting the revival treatment on HBO Max. Keep reading below for everything we know so far about the reboot series, including the plot, release date, social media reactions from the OG cast, and more.
The official announcement from HBO did include a premise. “A reprise of the original teen drama, Degrassi is a character-driven series about the high school experience and the thrilling, often painful journey of self-discovery. Set in Toronto, the new series explores a group of teenagers and school faculty living in the shadow of events that both bind them together and tear them apart. The show travels deep into the hearts and homes of diverse, complicated characters, as they struggle to find their new normal, reaching for hope, redemption and love.”
The revival series will simply be titled Degrassi, and will be produced by WildBrain Studios. At the helm are showrunners Lara Azzopardi and Julia Cohen, whose resumes include The Bold Type and Riverdale, respectively. The duo will also serve as executive producers.
