Comments Off on New Article on Season 10
Check out this new article on season 10 from The Canadian Press, detailing season 10’s unusual summer schedule:
TORONTO — Fans of “Degrassi” will get a daily dose of the series when the 10th season debuts this summer.
The teen drama plans to air 24 episodes four nights a week in July and August before returning to a weekly schedule in September.
Producer and actor Stefan Brogren says it’s an experiment that’ll see twice the number of shows this year.
Brogren, whose character Mr. Simpson returns as school principal, says it also means longer storylines and more cliffhangers.
New cast members include Jordan Todosey of “Life With Derek,” Munro Chambers, Luke Bilyk and Alicia Josipovic.

A few days later, on Monday, July 19th, season 10 will premiere (also on Much Music)! Stephen also confirmed that the last few episodes of season 9 will continue starting THIS Monday on Much.

Comments Off on Degrassi Moves From CTV to Much Music
Aaaand it’s official. There has been lots of speculation that this might happen for a while. Now we know for sure. Much Music announced today that Degrassi will be moving exclusively to Much Music this summer. Much will most likely air season 10 at the exact same time as TeenNick several days per week with this new “telenovela” format. Much will also be airing the Degrassi Takes Manhattan TV movie and they promise “tons of original online content.” Read all the info at Much Music’s official blog.
TeenNick announced recently that the plan for Degrassi Season 10 is to test out a telenovela format. A telenovela is essentially a primetime soap opera. The network will air half hour episodes Monday – Thursday for six weeks this summer. “We’re making additional episodes, a little more in the telenovela format, a little bit faster, cheaper and more efficient,” Nickelodeon president Zarghami said. Spanish language programs are known for the telenovela format, but US and Canadian networks have yet to tap into its success. To read the full article click here.
So do you guys think this is a good idea? More Degrassi episodes but cheaper quality? Are you excited about new episodes 4 days per week?

Comments Off on Degrassi Announcement Delayed
Unfortunately the big announcement we’ve been expecting to hear from TeenNick & CTV this Thursday has been delayed according to Stephen Stohn on Twitter. It will now take place on March. 27th instead. The announcement was expected to include important details about season 10, including as the fact that 48 brand new episodes will be produced.
Stay tuned to Degrassi-Fans.com on March 27th for all the information as it is made available!
In this interview with Zack Taylor, Melinda Shankar announces that season 10 will have 48 episodes! That is huge number of episodes for one season, and might explain why we’ve heard reports of season 10 premiering in the summer. Melinda also confirms that season 10 will begin filming next month.
Also on Twitter today Stephen Stohn confirmed that each episode of season 10 will be a half hour long and will take these characters through an entire school year.

Comments Off on Degrassi Announcement Coming Soon
Stephen Stohn has been teasing us about a new, surprising, and exciting Degrassi season 10 on twitter for some time now. Within the next month or so, we will be getting a major announcement on the show. Today Stephen tweeted: “The Degrassi announcement will likely be made March 11th–maybe before then, but most likely then … and ps they may talk about the fact that this is the 10th Season of DNG, and the 30th anniversary of the first Kids of Degrassi St. on air … but THAT isn’t the main surprise either!” As many of you know, 2010 is the 30th anniversary of the Degrassi franchise. We can’t wait to find out what is to come for Degrassi in the future!
Stephen has already confirmed that (1) the announcement is not a date for the next movie (although that may be part of it), (2) it’s not about Degrassi getting cancelled (it’s a good surprise), and (3) it’s not about a spinoff (although they are thinking about it).

Comments Off on Exec: Degrassi 10 Will Not Be Hour Long
Stephen Stohn clarified his statement this morning about season 10 being “new and surprising.” Previously he tweeted that the surprises did not involve the storylines (although they would be surprising as well). Some fans speculated that the surprise was that Degrassi would be converted to a 1 hour format for each episode. This is not the case, even though some 2-part episodes will probably air together as usual.
Stephen Stohn: The new and surprising thing about Degrassi 10 is not that it will become hour-long… (it might be shown as hourlong sometimes, but that’s not the new and surprising thing I was talking about!)
I can’t wait to find out what this surprise is!
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all enjoyed opening presents this morning.
Degrassi executive producer Stephen Stohn tweeted a new teaser for season 10. The tweet was as follows:
I can’t wait to tell you about what will be happening for Degrassi Season 10… something new and surprising..
He then added:
(and I don’t mean the storylines, they will always be new and surprising I hope!)
It sounds very exciting! What could be “new and surprising” other than the storylines? Any ideas?
Season 10 has not yet been officially ordered by the networks, but we know that, in all likelihood, Degrassi will move into its 10 season (1 decade of TNG!) next fall. This morning, Executive Producer Stephen Stohn tweeted: “The writers just started brainstorming for Degrassi Season 10!!” Yesterday, Stefan Brogren tweeted a picture of the writers hard at work.
What I want to know is: what do you want to see happen in season 10?
I know that we are not yet half way through season 9, but based on what we’ve seen so far, what do you think should happen next? Do you have any storyline ideas? What issues do you want Degrassi to tackle? What characters do you want to see featured? What did you like/dislike about season 9? What should they improve on? Do you want to see another movie (Degrassi Goes… Vegas??)?
Leave a comment to this post and I will approve the most relevant ones. Then perhaps we will send our feedback to the Degrassi producers/writers who are always looking to hear from the fans.
