Trivia
Some people have considered this series as a sort of "occupying series" while waiting for the 2nd block of the fourteenth season of the teen drama show Degrassi (also made by the same person who created this TV series). However, since there were only 12 episodes and none have aired since March 31, 2015, it was longer then anticipated, and then the cancellation of Degrassi: The Next Generation on June 3, 2015, the resulting wait time was longer then expected.
