The tenth season of Degrassi premiered in Canada on 19 July 2010, in the United States on 20 July 2010, and will consist of 44 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 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, as they deal with some of the issues that young adults face such as abusive relationships, bullying, sexual identity, gender identity, pregnancy, illegal situations, family issues, and drugs. This season has an order of 44 episodes, and switched to a telenovela/soap opera format, with the show airing new episodes four days a week, for the first 24 episodes.[2][3] 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.
Production for the season began on 26 March 2010[4] at Epitome Pictures' studios in Toronto, Ontario. This will be the first season not to air on broadcast television. It is also the first season to have simultaneous airings in Canada and the United States.[5] According to CTV, the show will now drop the "Next Generation" tag-line and will simply be called Degrassi.[1] This was the earliest start to a season. In the U.S., the first half of season ten was promoted as Degrassi: The Boiling Point, while the final twelve episodes of the season is promoted as Degrassi: In Too Deep.[6] The fifth Degrassi dedicated soundtrack, Degrassi: The Boiling Point, was released 1 February 2011.
