The new series, greenlit last January, is based on the long-running Canadian franchise about the teenage middle and high school experience. The roots of “Degrassi” date to 1980, when “The Kids of Degrassi Street” premiered on CBC. “There’s a vulnerability to ‘Degrassi’ that cannot be faked.”Ana Golja played Zoë Rivas on the series from 2013 to 2017. ‘Degrassi’ was the first prime-time series that featured a reoccurring character (played by an age appropriate actor) who became pregnant and kept the baby. She also returned as a recurring character for “Degrassi: The Next Generation” between 2002 and 2006.
