Anne with an E (2017)

Anne with an E is a richly realized, coming-of-age drama set on Prince Edward Island in the late 19th century that reimagines L.M. Montgomery’s classic tale. You follow Anne Shirley, an imaginative, fiery-tempered orphan who arrives at Green Gables and slowly wins the hearts of the stoic Cuthbert siblings and the local community. The series blends warm, pastoral visuals and lyrical storytelling with deeper, sometimes darker explorations of identity, belonging, prejudice, and trauma. Watching the show you’ll experience sweeping seaside landscapes and carefully crafted period detail, intimate character moments, and heartfelt friendships that grow over time. The tone moves between whimsical and earnest—plenty of humor and hope, but also scenes that confront social issues and emotional pain. If you enjoy character-driven dramas, literary adaptations, and stories about resilience and self-discovery, Anne with an E offers a visually beautiful, emotionally resonant journey with memorable performances and thoughtful modern sensibilities applied to a beloved classic.
