What the 'Degrassi Reunion' special episode won't look like, presumably.

The gang's all here for a special reunion episode of Degrassi: The Next Generation -- but one prominent Canadian rapper is missing from the trailer.

A behind-the-scenes trailer for the Degrassi reunion episode features several Degrassi favorites -- Lauren Collins (who played Paige Michalchuk), Shane Kippel (Spinner), Adamo Ruggiero (Marco), Sarah Barrable-Tishauer (Liberty Van Sant) and more -- declare their return to the camera as they filmed the show's 500th episode.

However, the one actor who was missing was Drake, formerly known as Aubrey Graham. The now-famous rapper had played the wheelchair-bound Jimmy Brooks, partially paralyzed after a gunshot wound.

Drake may be a bit busy topping album charts and teaming up with Vine DJs to get back in the old wheelchair. Or maybe, like Ruggiero told EW, the "wheelchair ramp was  out of service.”

Still, it wouldn't be the same drama-filled, anxiety-ridden high school reunion without Jimmy by everyone's side. But we guess we'll have to cope.

Season 2 of Degrassi: The Next Class premieres with the throwback 500th episode July 22 on Netflix.
