Overview

• Linda Schuyler reached a settlement with WildBrain and Peacock Alley that keeps Degrassi: Whatever It Takes on TIFF’s schedule this weekend.
• A joint statement says future versions of the film will include additional explanation of how Degrassi actors were paid.
• Schuyler had filed suit on Monday alleging the documentary contains defamatory innuendo suggesting she profited at the expense of young cast members.
• The filing disputed claims that early cast earned about $50 a day or handled crew and wardrobe duties, with Schuyler saying pay exceeded union rates and included long-term supports.
• The documentary features interviews with former cast, including Drake, and examines the franchise’s legacy, with screenings set for Saturday night and Sunday at Toronto’s Scotiabank Theatre.
