Anne Shirley (2025)
Season 1
Anne, an imaginative orphan, at Green Gables, where she was mistakenly sent instead of a boy to help the Cuthbert siblings. The season details her efforts to win over the stern Marilla and the growing affection of Matthew, as well as her initial experiences at school, forming friendships, and getting into scrapes that become lessons in life and morality. It is considered a faithful adaptation of the source material, capturing Anne's spirit and the beauty of Prince Edward Island, while also introducing new thematic elements and a distinctive visual style
