'Anne With An E' Recommissioned For Third Series

'Anne with an E' has been recommissioned for a third series by Netflix and CBC.

Inspired by the classic Canadian novel 'Anne of Green Gables' by Lucy Maud Montgomery, the third season of 'Anne with an E' will continue to tell the coming-of-age story of outsider Anne.

Produced by Northwood Entertainment, the new series will consist of 10 one-hour episodes.

Executive producers Walley-Beckett ('Breaking Bad', 'Flesh and Bone') and de Pencier ('Beginners', 'Thanks For Sharing') team up once again to re-immerse audiences in Anne's world in Avonlea. The new season is expected to begin production this winter for launch on Netflix and CBC later in 2019.

"We are thrilled to be able to announce a third season of Anne with an E before season two premieres in Canada," said Sally Catto, General Manager, Programming, CBC. "Anne with an E delivered a rich first season, drawing in both new and existing fans to the world of Avonlea. We have no doubt that Canadians will continue to fall in love with this beautiful and heartwarming series for seasons to come."

The renewal comes shortly after the US and international debut of the second series on Netflix in July, and just ahead of the Canadian premiere of season two on CBC, on 23 September.

"Through the storytelling of Anne with an E, the classic Canadian tale has transcended borders and found fans across our global membership," said Cindy Holland, VP of Original Content for Netflix. "We are excited to continue our partnership with CBC and Northwood and bring the series back for a third season."

"Our beloved Anne will be 16 years old when we return to this season full of romantic complications, bold adventures and dramatic discoveries," added Moira Walley-Beckett, Showrunner. "I will explore important, contemporary themes that I hope will continue to resonate with, and inspire and uplift, our audience."

'Anne with an E' is created by Moira Walley-Beckett. The executive producers are Miranda de Pencier, Moira Walley-Beckett, Debra Hayward and Alison Owen.

Series one and two are available now on Netflix in the US and internationally.
