The 13th season of Degrassi premiered on July 11, 2013, on MuchMusic in Canada and TeenNick in the United States. The first part of the season (13A) followed a weekly format for 7 weeks, depicting the summer of 2013. The second part of the season (13B) followed a weekly format for 8 weeks, depicting the fall of 2013. The rest of the season (13C and 13D) depicts the remaining parts of 2013-2014 school year. Since the premiere of 13B on October 3, 2013, episodes aired on MTV instead of MuchMusic in Canada.

Three actors were added to the main cast in the summer block: Andre Kim, Eric Osborne, and Ana Golja. Two more were introduced in the fall block: Sara Waisglass and Nikki Gould. Niamh Wilson was added to the main cast in the winter block. The producers have also added some new people to the recurring cast.

Production and casting for the season began on November 2012 through January 2013, with filming beginning in April 2013 and wrapping up on October 24, 2013, at Epitome Pictures studios in Toronto, Ontario.

This season marks the reform of the show, introducing a new logo and opening sequence to the series, improved cinematography and a complete overhaul to the cast's appearance and style. It is also referred to as "A Whole New Degrassi" as seen in the promotional videos for the season (13A).

Character Descriptions

Winston Chu, Grade 11

Smart and sarcastic, yet best friends with the popular Miles Hollingsworth III, he successfully masks his insecurity with a funny, pessimistic attitude that protects him from taking risks and possible disappointments. He's often the voice of reason and a reluctant co-conspirator in hijinks.

Miles Hollingsworth III, Grade 10

Girls want him, guys want to be him. He's naturally athletic, and preternaturally good-looking. He just seems to breeze through life. Miles is just a kid looking for love and acceptance from his father after getting kicked out of boarding school. His father, Mr. Hollingsworth (the Second) is a popular business man about to run for mayor, and won't let his reckless son get in the way. Miles loves milking his rep as a troublemaker and arrives at Degrassi ready to stir things up.

Zoe Rivas, Grade 10

She is fierce and fashion-forward. She is a former television star best known for her role as Gatsby Garcia on West Drive. Having spent her formative years as mean girl Gatsby Garcia, Zoƫ was dumped and her character killed off. Intent on a fresh start, Zoƫ's excited to make new friends and date cute boys, having never really learned how to be anything but a mean girl, and uses her looks to get what she wants (a trick she learned from her overbearing stage-mom), Zoƫ's also desperate to hide a secret.
