Here is a quote from the press release:

"Drag racing, drug abuse, exotic dancing, prison and - for the first time in the series’ history -a major character is murdered. This ain’t the Degrassi you grew up with. Following on its most successful television season ever, CTV proudly presents the most provocative season yet of Canada’s most-watched drama series, Degrassi: The Next Generation. Season 6 of the international hit series returns in double-feature style with back-to-back episodes airing Tuesdays at 8 and 8:30 p.m. ET, beginning November 28 on CTV...

...In Season 6, the high school sagas continue - true love, secret romance, school dances and cheerleading - while other storylines venture into the exciting world of university life. Ellie embarks on a hot new romance with an older man while Jimmy, confined to a wheelchair, explores news ways to deal with his sexuality. After a tragic drag-racing accident, one student will end up in jail, and a new character, a 16-year-old single mom, graces the halls of Degrassi. For the first time ever, the series will also deal with the murder of a major character."
