Anne with an E (initially titled Anne for its first season) is a Canadian episodic television series adapted from Lucy Maud Montgomery's 1908 classic work of children's literature, Anne of Green Gables. It was created by Moira Walley-Beckett for CBC Television and stars Amybeth McNulty as Anne Shirley, Geraldine James as Marilla Cuthbert, R. H. Thomson as Matthew Cuthbert, Dalila Bela as Diana Barry and Lucas Jade Zumann as Gilbert Blythe.
The series premiered on March 19, 2017, on CBC and on May 12 internationally on Netflix.
It was renewed for a second season on August 3, 2017, and for a third
season in August 2018. Shortly after the third season was released in
2019, CBC and Netflix announced that the series was cancelled.
In 1896,
elderly brother and sister Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert (who live
together as they never married) decide to adopt an orphan boy to help
out around their ancestral farm of Green Gables, on the outskirts of the Canadian town of Avonlea, Prince Edward Island. When Matthew goes to pick the child up at the railway station, he finds 13-year-old Anne Shirley,
an imaginative, bright, high-spirited, and talkative girl, instead (an
orphan since her parents died when she was a few months old, Anne lived
as a servant in various households before being placed in an orphanage).
While Matthew decides he would like for her to stay, Marilla does
not trust Anne, given her status as an unknown orphan, and the
perceived uselessness of a young girl. Her distrust appears confirmed
when Marilla cannot locate a brooch, thus leading her to believe that
Anne is a thief. The Cuthberts send her away, thus "returning" her to
the orphanage. While she does arrive back at the orphanage, she is
terrified to enter, haunted by bullying she had endured there, and
returns to the train station. Meanwhile, Marilla discovers that the
brooch had been misplaced rather than lost, and that prejudice had led
her to believe Anne was a thief. Matthew consequently finds Anne and
convinces her to return to Green Gables, where she is officially made
part of their family. However, Anne continues to face bullying from
students in the Avonlea school, and class-based discrimination from
Diana's parents and others in Avonlea. Anne once again returns to her
survival mechanisms of imagination, intelligence, and problem-solving
abilities that eventually lead to her acceptance by the rest of the
community.
Anne Shirley, a 13-year-old talkative orphan with a bright imagination,
is overjoyed when she is adopted. But when she arrives at Green Gables,
she discovers it was a mistake. Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, the aging
siblings that run the farm, had sent for a boy. While Matthew
immediately likes the girl, Marilla is determined to send her back, but
changes her mind when she gets a glimpse of what Anne's life would be.
She agrees to a trial period of one week and Anne is determined to show
the Cuthberts that she will be useful on the farm.
Later, Marilla asks Anne to put away her scarf and a treasured
brooch, with which Anne plays. When Marilla can't find the brooch later
she suspects Anne has stolen it and confronts her. Anne insists she
didn't take it, but when Marilla threatens to send her away if she
doesn't confess, she says she lost it while playing with it outside at
the lake of shining waters.
Anne is sent back, but then Marilla discovers that the brooch had slid
into the cushions of her chair. She calls out to Matthew who races to
catch up with Anne, but he arrives at the station just after the train
with Anne has left.
