I'm actually gonna cry I'm so excited that they're bringing Degrassi back. I hope previous characters will be in it somehow or else I feel like it won't feel like the same show

I like to see The Next Generation characters be in it to mentor the new students like Snake his graduate class did in the earlier seasons.

I hope we see some of the OG’s making guest appearances.

[@chrissymeri4957]

I can't wait! I'm 30! And I've seen all the original ones from the 80s to the very last one they ever made. Binged it all from begining to end at the start of quarantine. And I cannot wait. All I am gonna say is they better bring back some old characters! It won't be the same if they don't!

[@karlc2869]

Hayley Williams of Paramore should do the new version of Whatever It Takes for the Degrassi just like Carly Rae Jepsen did when she did the new version of Full House's Whenever You Lead for Fuller House.

[@mariemarquez2480]

I wanna see the original Degrassi Jr. High ❤️. I still think of Wheels (Neil Hope), it was very sad hearing of his death, he had a really sad life. I pray he's at peace 😭🙏

[@brandonclarke5775]

Curious to see which characters return or new stories told. Never should’ve been canceled in the first place.

[@ahrenb3393]

If they brought by old characters i think that can get away with: Terri-guidance counselor Marco-teacher Dallas-coach Liberty-science teacher Maya-music teacher

[@emma.robinson]

I could totally see Sav as a music teacher!

[@karahleanna8646]

Nahh where the actual og characters? Lol you put Marco and Terri only 👀🥺😩😂 we need the rest !

[@JoyOgbatue]

Maya is too young to be a music teacher. Have Sav or Jane come back.

[@fifi_coyne]

What about Heather?

[@montanaworthen5876]

They should bring Fitz back as a ufc fighter

[@RamboQuellz]

Can we pleaseee Get a coming of age show about adult hood! Life does not end after high school! Life in your 20's is so stressful! And the problems that come have nothing on your dramatic high school experience!

[@Nicole-jn4dj]

i wush they do college series

[@mrho2001]

Who says “De-Graw-si”??

[@tropicalvirgo]

Lmao 🤣

[@damarebanks9762]

They need to bring justice to the degrassi next class season and bring back some of the cast

[@ronniesilva8183]

That’s fine with me as long as they don’t put it on the CW I read it and put it on HBO Max

[@kaylahughes3622]

I dont see them bringing back old characters it's called Degrassi because of the high school. But it would be cool to see clare eli and the oldies somehow.

[@RavenStorm332]

Any old characters they bring back will be either guest stars or a parent to one of the kids on the show hopefully

[@crystalgtv3394]

I can see some coming back and taking the role as parents or teachers/principal..that’ll be cool to see. And I’m talking bout characters who started in season 1..spinner..Emma..etc

[@RavenStorm332]

@@crystalgtv3394 I'd like that to happen as well bring back as much of the OG cast as possible as parents/teachers

[@TrueCrimeJade]

They did it with Degrassi street and dtng. I see them doing it for this too. Can’t wait

[@azzz7279]

I’m predicting that Spinner & Emma will have a daughter in the reboot and shell be the female lead of the reboot. And she’ll be 14 and a freshman since Emma & Spinner got married in 2008 so she could’ve been born in 2009. I’ve noticed all the female leads have an older sibling or family member who was in a previous generation before them (Emma, Clare and Maya)

[@costaa5344]

As long as it's still be filmed in Toronto 🤌

[@Yertle_Turtle]

Maybe this will help people stop treating teenagers with contempt, distrust and indifference & instead recognize that we fail them regularly in our effort to prepare them for adult society. Or maybe we'll just watch because they're pretty and handsome.

[@cooldude1230]

I really cannot wait for this 😭❤️❤️

[@j2174]

Degrassi actually spans back to 1979.

[@moriellymoproblems7842]

Now if only HBO Max was accessible in Canada without needing a VPN. Whatever it takes to make that possible.

[@ifeeltiredsleepy]

Though HBO Max's library is available through Crave in Canada for the same price. Like I don't get why you would pay 10 USD to use a VPN to watch HBO Max when you can subscribe to watch Crave for 10 CAD, which is cheaper...

[@cortney_593]

I’m super excited i hope they bring some old cast back

[@imthebadest25]

I can’t wait. I heard it’s gonna be much darker storylines.

[@twentysecondcenturywoman]

I’ve always thought Degrassi wasn’t the best show, so I’m hopeful to what HBO has in store. With money like HBO has, along with American writers and producers, I’m sure it’ll be great.

[@RodZilla19872005]

They should bring back some of the TNG characters. Hopefully Emma and Spinner get divorce leading to Emma and Sean getting back together and Spinner getting with Paige or set up Spinner and Terri.

[@chrissymeri4957]

Spinner and Terri getting the chance they never got would be perfect!

[@ABisexualGod]

Curious to see if it's gonna be TV-14 or TV-MA with a "gossip girl 2021" mature feel to it. Even when on Netflix it was PG so who knows 😂

[@melissaspencer7897]

I hope its truer to the original and earlier TNG. As soon as Kevin Smith showed up it turned into a different show.

[@sresnick03]

The way this person says Degrassi is making me laugh tbh

[@_JudgeDredd]

Everything is a remake. Very few original ideas. I think that’s why I liked Tenet so much.

[@RavenStorm332]

This is most likely going to be a another iteration of the series where it's a whole new cast of kids at the school with alumni from the show either being an adult of their former characters or the parent of one the kids

[@devontehuntley6274]

It's not a remake, it's a revival and what do you expect? Shows have lost originality decades back. There's like thousands of them out there since the 1940s. You think there's anything really original to do at this point? Your best bet is to remake one or do a sequel to another.
