Degrassi, the Canadian series that airs on Nickelodeon in the U.S., is coming to an end this series. The high school series’ last 12 episodes will air over a two-week period, beginning in July.
An hour-long special will kick off the event on Monday, July 20 at 9 p.m., with new episodes airing every Monday through Friday until Friday, July 31. That night, there will be an hour-long special called It Goes There: Degrassi’s Most Talked About Moments, which will highlight the best moments from the show’s long run, at 8 p.m. The hour-long series finale will air right after it at 9 p.m.
“For an incredible 14 seasons, Degrassi has been a groundbreaking show tackling so many important topics that real teens face in their everyday lives,” Keith Dawkins, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Nicktoons, TeenNick and Nick Jr, said in a statement. “In the final episodes on TeenNick and through the hour-long special and social activations, we hope to say goodbye in a way that is both fitting to the show and Degrassi’s passionate fan base.”
The series’ 14 seasons have included 385 episodes. It’s also the show that helped introduce Aubrey Graham - better known as Drake - as he starred on the show from 2001-2009. The current cast includes Amanda Arcuri, Luke Bilyk, Munro Chambers, Reiya Downs and Sarah Fisher.
