The silence is ending soon, Degrassi fans. After delivering one of the longrunning teen show's most shocking cliffhangers ever, Netflix has announced Degrassi: Next Class will return for its third season on Friday, Jan. 6, and will finally reveal which beloved character is in critical condition after the bus crash in the season two finale.  And E!

At a loss for what to watch this week? From new DVDs and Blu-rays, to what's streaming on Netflix, we've got you covered.

New on DVD and Blu-ray

"The Martian"

Unfortunately, the poster on this one was misleading -- they never actually let us bring Matt Damon home after seeing the movie. (His wife would probably disapprove.) You can, however, take home Ridley Scott's acclaimed Mars mission movie "The Martian" on DVD and Blu-ray starting January 12. The Blu-ray editions include more than 90 minutes of special features, including five "in-world" pieces, and featurettes from the cast, director, and producers. There's also a gag reel, which should be fun.

"Hotel Transylvania 2"

Drac's Pack is back in the sequel to "Hotel Transylvania," as they put the son of Mavis and Johnny through a "monster-in-training" boot camp to bring out his vampire side. The DVD, out January 12, includes feature commentary with the director and vocal cast,...

School is still in session.

Just days after TeenNick canceled "Degrassi: The Next Generation" after 14 seasons, Netflix announced it was saving the beloved teen drama. The streaming service and Canada's Family Channel will air 20 episodes of "Degrassi: Next Class" in 2016.

"We are energized and excited to work with Family Channel as we tell stories for the new post-millennial teen cohort known as Generation Z, most of whom weren't even born when Degrassi returned in 2001," said Degrassi co-creator and executive producer Linda Schuyler in a statement.

"Next Class" will include many of the cast members featured on "Next Generation," including: Amanda Arcuri as Lola Pacini; Reiya Downs as Shay Powers; Ana Golja as Zoe Rivas; Nikki Gould as Grace Cardinal; Ricardo Hoyos as Zig Novak; Ehren Kassam as Jonah Haak; Andre Kim...

The happiest day of Alli’s life quickly turned into a nightmare she couldn’t escape.

Degrassi‘s 13th season continued Jan. 28 with Alli’s (Melinda Shankar) 18th birthday, and in typical Alli fashion, she went Big. And that’s not an exaggeration; before the half-hour premiere was over, she’d been engaged, married and horrifically beaten to a bloody pulp.

Marrying Leo seemed like the easiest way to keep him in the country, but the happiest day of Alli’s life quickly turned into a nightmare she couldn’t escape, as she found herself being beaten mercilessly in Leo’s crappy car mere minutes after saying “I do.” Her family and friends were horrified by her injuries, but rather than admit they were Leo’s doing — which would also require her to come clean about the wedding — she made up a story about getting mugged.

Honestly, Alli’s story line really upsets me.

Sacrebleu! It looks like Maya is already making a new enemy before her big summer trip to Paris. Watch!

First impressions are everything on Degrassi. One bad exchange can lead to a life-long — or, at the very least, a season-long — feud between characters; and based on this clip from the show’s July 11 season premiere, obtained exclusively by HollywoodLife.com, a new feud is definitely on the horizon.

It all begins when new-girl Zoë Rivas (Ana Golja), who also happens to star on West Drive, waltzes onto the scene with a sassy “Bonjour, bitches.” You know things can only go south from there. (Side note: Does anyone else think Zoë looks like a mini Nina Dobrev?)

Zoë immediately clicks with Tristan (Lyle Lettau) — he bugs out when she tells him the entire cast watches his West Drive Experience vlog — but Maya (Olivia Scriven)? Not so much.

“I guess you can come too,...
