Plot Synopsis

It's a new year filled with firsts for the students of Degrassi as they begin their journey into adulthood. Pushing their own limits and testing the bonds of family and friends, the students each find their own way to deal with a range of issues: from the small stuff -- butt size, grooming, and Instagram-curating -- to bigger issues like sex and consent, sexuality and race. The series opens with Maya searching for a lead guitarist, and Shay experimenting with enhancing her assets to impress her crush. Meanwhile, Zoe attempts to put her "more than friends" feelings for Grace aside; and things get personal for Tristan when he runs for class president against ex-boyfriend, Miles.
