Degrassi Next Class Looking For Teen Actors

Auditions for Male & Female Teens for Recurring Roles Filming in Toronto

That’s right! Here is your chance to be apart of the iconic show. “Degrassi: Next Class” is searching for a male and female actor for recurring roles on the show. They are shooting their second season of this Degrassi series. The show is now in it’s 5th series of the show that was created in 1979.

About ‘Degrassi: Next Class’

“Degrassi Next Class follows the lives of the students from Degrassi Community School, a fictional high school in Toronto. It is the 5th series in the Degrassi franchise and the first two seasons have been filmed. It will tell the stories of a new generation of students as they navigate their way through high school dealing with real life issues and situations that teenagers actually go through such as Cyber Bullying, Mental illness, Homophobia, racism, drug use, feminism, sexuality, religion, life threatening diseases, online harassment, catfishing and dysfunctional families. It will target the teen cohort today known as Generation Z.” IMDB. The show stars Nikki Gould, Ricardo Hoyos and Andre Kim.

Casting Call For Male and Female Teens

Rasha (15, Open Ethnicity) – FEMALE. Quick-witted and sarcastic, Rasha comes to Degrassi, having relocated from the Middle East, ready to take on any and every high school experience. From crushes, to cameos in the school play, this star track and field athlete is constantly pushing boundaries and willing to try anything once (must be willing to cut hair short).

Saad (16, Open Ethnicity) – MALE. Brooding and intense, Saad keeps his distance from the crowds of bubbly, babbling teens in Degrassi’s halls. To some, his self-imposed isolation reads as anger, and no one would blame him- – he came to Canada and left his childhood home in the Middle East behind. Truly, though, he’s just a thoughtful, artistic kid, struggling to find his place in his new country.
