This reimagining of the classic book and film is a coming-of-age story about a young orphan who is seeking love, acceptance and her place in the world. Amybeth McNulty stars as Anne, a 13-year-old who has endured an abusive childhood in orphanages and the homes of strangers. In the late 1890s, Anne is mistakenly sent to live with aging siblings, Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, who live on Prince Edward Island. Anne, who proves to be uniquely spirited, imaginative and smart, transforms the lives of Marilla, Matthew and everyone else in their small town.

Is nearly as endearing as the book itself. Go to Full Review Chad Jones San Francisco Chronicle 03/26/2020
There would be a definite after-school special quality to this "Anne" if it weren't so energetically made and filled with such rich performances. Go to Full Review Heather Hogan Autostraddle 06/12/2018

Jamie B. @jcdcj4 Jul 20 I loved the first Anne of green gables and I loved Anne with an e. It brought back memories. I loved that it was just a little different. See more jolin t Apr 27 Phenomenal and a breath of fresh air. See more Ayaka M Mar 19 Bro idk why everyone is hating, this show is amazing, i cant seem to understand how people think its slightly written badly, this version brought the show life unlike the old versions that made you feel like you depressed while watching it. The actor of anne did a fabulous job. See more Rich O 02/04/2025 Engaging. The acting is superb and addicitve! See more Max H 10/11/2024 The first episode was a bit boring causing me to drop it before giving it a fair chance but I decided to try to watch it again and it's really special, talking about topics I don't usually see in movies unlike most "feministic" movies I actually enjoyed this series and understood the messages even tho it takes place about a bit over a century ago many of these topics are still relevant today and it was nice seeing a main character that reminded me of my younger self for once. Trust me It's worth watching even tho the first episode is a bit boring it gets better. See more Sheryl R 03/07/2024 So addictive. Absolutely beautiful videography and super acting.
