Jennifer Kassabian and Ian MacIntyre . Current directors for the series include series star and producer Stefan Brogren, Eleanor Lindo, Phil Earnshaw, and Rt! . </P> <P> Each episode of Degrassi: Next Class is written following the same formula with three storylines (Plot A, Plot B and Plot C). The problems and issues presented in the episode are not always resolved by the end of the episode, and are carried over throughout the season, creating a mini-arc . With "Next Class", some episodes have the plots follow a common theme . This concept was featured in Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High . Episode titles feature a "#" in the front of each episode title and occasionally refer to current social media trends . </P> <P> The opening sequence of "Next Class" returned to the longer openings that was featured in the first twelve seasons of "The Next Generation" but was cut to 31 seconds . The opening comes after a two - to three - minute cold open but does not follow the characters around the school . Instead, a montage of videos and pictures from the characters social media accounts cycle across the screen . Like the final two seasons of "Degrassi", instead of listing every ensemble actor in the opening, episodes only credit the regular actors appearing in that episode . The theme music, "Whatever It Takes", was composed by Jim McGrath, with lyrics written by Jody Colero and Stephen Stohn . The lyrics for the theme music for the first four seasons of "Next Class" were the same as theme music for "The Next Generation ." The "Next Class" opening sequence featured a rearranged version of "Whatever It Takes" composed by Jody Colero, Jim McGrath, Stephen Stohn, Rob Wells, and Shobha . Shobha also recorded the song . </P> <P> The Degrassi universe is set on De Grassi Street in Toronto, Ontario . The four previous series were filmed on and near that street .

The facade of Degrassi Community School is the exterior of Studio C, and uses the same colours and glass pattern as Centennial College, which was used to depict the school during Degrassi High . </P>
