Toronto, Canada - August 3, 2017 - CBC and Netflix today announced they have renewed acclaimed series ANNE (WITH AN E) for a second season.

Season two of the series (known as ANNE in Canada, and ANNE WITH AN E on Netflix) returns in 2018.
Inspired by the timeless Canadian young adult novel Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery, the second season will continue to chart bold new territory, adding new characters and storylines and continuing to explore themes of identity, prejudice, feminism, bullying, gender parity and empowerment through the lens of its fierce, starry-eyed, irrepressible 14-year-old protagonist.
The series stars Amybeth McNulty (Anne Shirley), Geraldine James (Marilla Cuthbert), R.H. Thomson (Matthew Cuthbert), Corrine Koslo (Rachel Lynde), Dalila Bela (Diana Barry), Aymeric Jett Montaz (Jerry Baynard), and Lucas Jade Zumann (Gilbert Blythe).

We know that the inspired cast and entire team will deliver an unforgettable second season.
