Production
After the cancellation of Degrassi's 14-season run on TeenNick, Nickelodeon passed on the pitch for Degrassi: Next Class. This reboot of the series was later picked up by Netflix and is considered a stand-alone series for a new generation—a new incarnation. This season was filmed along with season 1. The show was given a 20 episode order with the episodes being split into two seasons on Netflix and Family. Filming for the two seasons began in June 2015 and wrapped early September the same year.

This season featured the 500th episode of the Degrassi franchise which in turn featured an alumni reunion with characters from Degrassi: The Next Generation. Confirmed guest appearances are Adamo Ruggiero as Marco Del Rossi, Miriam McDonald as Emma Nelson, Lauren Collins as Paige Michalchuk, Shane Kippel as Gavin "Spinner" Mason, and Sarah Barrable-Tishauer as Liberty Van Zandt. Several others are also expected to return. Appearing throughout the season will be former cast member Jamie Johnston who portrayed Peter Stone from seasons five through ten of Degrassi: The Next Generation. He first appears in the premiere.

During May 2016, Australian network ABC3 began releasing episode titles and descriptions for this season, two months before its premiere in the United States and Canada. A week after the first season concluded on the network, it began airing this season on May 30, 2016. This will be the first time in the Degrassi franchise history that an entire season airs in a foreign country before its release in Canada and the U.S. The season will run for 2 weeks on ABC3 and use the telenovela/soap opera format incorporated in the later seasons of Degrassi.

In Canada, the season premiered on July 19, 2016, on Family Channel's F2N block. Unlike the previous season, it will air for 10-weeks and move to Tuesday's at 9:45 PM ET/PT. Also, due to the season premiering in Australia beforehand, Family released the entire season on July 22, 2016, on its subscription-based Family Channel App alongside Netflix's release.

Episodes

 * ABC3 in Australia aired the season before both Family Channel in Canada and Netflix internationally.
