Warner Bros. Discovery continues its efforts to cut costs and the most recent casualty has been the reboot of the classic “Degrassi” series. The teen drama received the green light to begin production in January of this year. Filming on the series was due to begin by the end of the year.
Lara Azzopardi of “The Bold Tyle” and Julia Cohen of “Riverdale” would be the showrunners of the “Degrassi” reboot, which would focus on a new group of teenagers and school teachers “who live in the shadow of the events that unite them” . and separate them “.
“What we’re most excited about reviving this beloved franchise is turning it into a truly serialized hour-long drama,” the two said in a statement at the time. “We are honored to have the opportunity to lead this evolution and bring this iconic series back into people’s homes.”
“Degrassi” was created in 1979 by Kit Hood and Linda Schuyler, and has since followed six generations: “The Kids of Degrassi Street”, from 1979 to 1986, “Degrassi Junior High”, from 1987 to 1989, “Degrassi High “, Between 1989 and 1991, followed by” Degrassi: The Next Generation “between 2001 and 2015 and” Degrassi: Next Class “, between 2016 and 2017.
The new series isn’t the only victim of cuts to HBO Max from the merger of Warner Bros. and Discovery. “Batman: Caped Crusader”, “Strange Adventures”, “The Cuckoo Chronicles” and “Supertwins” have been canceled, as have “Batgirl”, the most controversial cancellation so far, as the film was already in post-production. .
