Behind the Scenes Pictures at Much Music

I said that I was going to stop posting until Friday, because there are spoilers for the finale everywhere (seriously, I feel like we’ve seen the entire episode already). But these pictures of our cast are too cute to resist!! Much Music posted a bunch of new pictures this afternoon from their weekly live hits with the Degrassi cast members. The pictures include Aislinn, Jessica, Charlotte, AJ, Melinda, Munro, Spencer, Jajube, Annie, Daniel, Alicia, and Cory. Check out all of the images at the Much Blog!

Much Music Promo: Drop The World Part 2

It pays to get up early! It’s not even 8:30am and I already have the promo. Here is the Much Music promo for next week’s season finale Drop The World Part 2. The episode centres around the school dance that Alli arranged, and focuses on Eli’s breakdown. It should be a good one!

Season 11 to Premiere July 18th: Much Music

Much Music needs to link their blog entries on the Degrassi page, because this was posted 3 days ago and I hadn’t even seen it yet!

According to Much Music, we now have a date for when season 11 will premiere: July 18th!! Start planning now everyone, because I wouldn’t be surprised if there is some kind of premiere/meet and greet event around that time as well. Also, with 7 weeks of episodes, that means that we will likely see new episodes until Sept. 1st. Here is what Much Music had to say:

Do I even need to say anymore? Hell yeah I do! Not only is another season heading into production, but it’s returning this summer! And once again, Degrassi will air on Monday, and on Tuesday, and on – hell, all the days up to Thursday! Four nights a week…for SEVEN WEEKS LONG! And we can even tell you when it’s coming back: July 18th! Mark that date on your calendar from now!

No confirmation from TeenNick yet, but I think we can assume that the two networks will premiere new episodes at the same time as usual.

Press Release: 7 Weeks of Degrassi This Summer

Much Music’s press release for season 11 came out this afternoon. The press release confirms what Stephen Stohn tweeted yesterday: another summer of the telenovela format and 3 new cast members. It also announces that the Monday to Friday summer format will be extended to 7 weeks. This is 1 week longer than season 10 (which was only 6 weeks long). Therefore, there will likely be 28 new episodes airing this summer. This is what the press release said:

Toronto, ON (March 25, 2011) – After three decades of groundbreaking and controversial storylines, MuchMusic’s #1 hit show DEGRASSI returns for an impressive 11th season this summer. Fans get their daily DEGRASSI fix as the show premieres for the second year in the highly successful Monday to Friday telenovela format, this year extending that run to seven weeks. With the enrolment of three new students and storylines that push the envelope even further with social topics facing teens today, DEGRASSI is guaranteed to set the bar higher than ever. Production for Season 11 has already begun in Toronto.

Joining DEGRASSI this season is the charming heartthrob Jake Martin (Justin Kelly), who tells it like it is and tries not to break too many hearts in the process. New student Katie Matlin (Chloe Rose) is a fresh-faced athlete who plays hard on the field but is soft when it comes to matters of the heart. Fun and energetic Imogen Moreno (Cristine Prosperi) is anything but boring, but she constantly fears her one, big secret could be exposed to the entire school.

“After the success of last summer’s format shift we are thrilled to be delivering a bonus week of episodes to DEGRASSI fans this summer,” says Stephen Stohn, Executive Producer and President, Epitome Pictures. “Fans will get a full seven weeks of new daily DEGRASSI storylines and drama, starting with a crime of passion that reverberates throughout the summer and leads to an explosive conclusion.”

Degrassi Music Guides

Ever wonder what goes into choosing the songs used on Degrassi? Much Music has the answer! They recently posted little descriptions from the Music Supervisors on how every song is chosen for the show. It looks like this is going to be a weekly thing, so keep checking back at MuchMusic.com for more!

One of my favourite songs in last week’s episode was Peacock Dance, heard at the end when Adam is reading Fiona’s letter. Here’s what the Degrassi Music Supervisors had to say about that one:

Peacock Dance by The Smooth Maria
This is an epic track. Epic. We like to call this the “loose ends montage song”, but that doesn’t do it enough justice. The song marches along, steady, calmly, driving the emotion behind Adam reading Fiona’s letter, it pounds like a heartbeat and you can feel how excited and terrified he is to be reading it. The beautiful shots of Dave and Sadie, Anya waiting at the restaurant, Fiona accepting her faults, culminating in a bright, innocent, youthful smile from Adam makes for yet another memorable Degrassi moment and song.
