Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes are featured in a 3-episode arc of Degrassi: The Next Generation, which airs this August and will also be released by FUNimation Productions on a special DVD entitled Jay and Silent Bob Do Degrassi.  In the 3-part season finale to the Canadian-produced TV series Smith and Mewes play themselves in a fanciful plot in which Smith chooses Degrassi as the location for a sequel to Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back entitled Jay and Silent Bob Go Canadian Eh!  Alanis Morrisette is featured in the second of the three episodes in which she pays the principal of the Canadian High School who accepts Jay and Silent Bob so they can attempt to finish high school, having been banned from secondary schools all across the U.S.

Kevin Smith will show some footage from the Degrassi episodes at his panel at the San Diego Comic-Con and the director will also discuss the numerous extras he is adding to the FUNimation DVD release.  According to Smith: 'Anybody who's ever been remotely interested in any of the flicks we've made will love Jay and Silent Bob Do Degrassi -- even if they've never seen the show.  It's a great entry point for Degrassi neophytes, and a must-have for View Askew DVD fans.'
