The Exec posted info on his twitter about Degrassi Goes Hollywood and the Season 8 DVD for Canada and the U.S., and instead of posting it word-for-word I’ll just recap it to make it easier.

CANADA
They plan to realease the Degrassi Goes Hollywood movie on DVD by itself right after it airs on CTV on August 30th.  The Exec said it may be as early as September 1st.  This will be released in Canada only.

The Season 8 DVD (which will include Degrassi Goes Hollywood segmented into 30-minute episodes) will be released in Canada at the beginning of October.

 
U.S.
The Season 8 DVD (which WILL include Degrassi Goes Hollywood) will be released right after The-N airs the Degrassi Goes Hollywood Movie in mid-August.  The-N has yet to confirm when the Degrassi Movie (aka Paradise City) will air, but here’s The-N’s episode schedule for the rest of Season 8 this summer:

7/10: Touch of Grey
7/17: Heart of Glass
7/24: Up Where We Belong
7/31: Danger Zone

From that and what The Exec said, we can assume that Degrassi Goes Hollywood will either air on August 7th, 14th, or 21st.  If we were taking bets I’d say The-N will take a week off after Danger Zone to hype the movie, air it on August 14th, and then they’ll release the Season 8 DVD the third or fourth week of the month.  We shall see!!
