Netflix orders more of Anne of Green Gables series as season 3 gets greenlight

Netflix has ordered a third season of Anne With an E, the series based on the novel Anne of Green Gables.

The renewal comes just over a month after the drama’s second season debuted on the streaming service.

Production on the third season will begin later this year, ahead of a 2019 air date.

The series stars Amybeth McNulty as the high-spirited orphan Anne, who turns her adoptive family’s life upside-down.

According to Netflix, season three will add new characters and storylines and explore themes of identity, prejudice, feminism, bullying, gender parity, diversity and empowerment.

Showrunner Moira Walley-Beckett said: “Our beloved Anne will be 16 years old when we return to this season full of romantic complications, bold adventures and dramatic discoveries.

“I will explore important, contemporary themes that I hope will continue to resonate with, and inspire and uplift, our audience.”

Executive Producer Miranda de Pencier added: “The character of Anne gives people permission to be themselves because she is so resoundingly herself.

“There are so many walls being built and so much fear growing in the world right now and Anne offers us a reminder that it’s okay to stay positive, be kind, and to dream, no matter how tough life gets – which is inspiration we all need.”

Anne With an E is available to stream on Netflix in the US and UK.
