List of episodes

The tenth season of Degrassi premiered in Canada on 19 July 2010, in the United States on 20 July 2010, and will consist of forty-eight episodes. Degrassi, previously known as Degrassi: The Next Generation,[1] is a Canadian serial teen drama television series. Although only two school years have passed in the story timeline since season six, season ten is set in which the year it aired. Writers have been able to use a semi-floating timeline, so that the issues depicted are modern for their viewers. This season again depicts the lives of a group of high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors, along with some college age students as they deal with some of the issues that young adults face such as abusive relationships, sexual identity, gender identity, pregnancy, eating disorders, and illegal situations. This season has an order of 48 episodes, it will switch to a telenovela/soap opera format, with the show airing new episodes four days a week, for the first 24 episodes.[2] Six actors were added to the ensemble cast, while eight cast members have either left the series or been dropped from the main cast to recurring roles.

In the U.S., the first half of season ten is being promoted as Degrassi: The Boiling Point. The premiere episode was watched by 1.2 million viewers, becoming TeenNick’s most watched telecast, beating Degrassi Goes Hollywood's 977,000 viewers last year. It was also the number one show in it's key demo (teens ages 12-17), surpassing shows like The Secret Life of the American Teenager, and other shows on regular cable networks. [5]
