Chronicling the Generations

To help celebrate the franchise’s 25th anniversary, Fenn Publishing and Madison Press have released the book Degrassi: Generations, which chronicles the shows’ history. The collection, including a foreword by Degrassi mega-fan and soon-to-be feature director Kevin Smith, goes behind-the-scenes on the various Degrassi series, providing write-ups on all the characters and episodes over the years. It is written by Kathryn Ellis, a former Degrassi writer and publicist married to longtime series writer and Degrassi: The Next Generation cocreator Yan Moore.

Also in the works is the one-hour documentary The Degrassi Story, to air on CTV Sept. 17. Stefan Brogren, who plays Snake in Degrassi Junior High and The Next Generation, hosts the retrospective produced by 90th Parallel Productions.
