A second season of Anne with an E?
A question on everyone’s minds is whether Anne the Series (aka Anne with an E) will get a second season. We have some info starting to come out on that topic…
Anne is a joint production between the Canadian television channel, CBC and the worldwide distributor Netflix. For the show to continue, both parties need to agree to fund more episodes. A recent article explains the following…
“There’s a simple, yet frustrating, reason a second season of Anne wasn’t announced at CBC’s upfront presentation on Wednesday morning. Netflix has yet to weigh in on its commitment to a sophomore go-round of Anne Shirley’s adventures in Avonlea.
“[A second season announcement] is pending,” Sally Catto, general manager, programming at CBC told us. “It’s a partnership and they’ve just started broadcast it.”
In shorter terms, for there to be a Season 2 of Anne, it has to do well on Netflix and they have to say ‘yes’ to doing more. The show’s producers want to do five seasons of the show, but that’s dependent on it being renewed. I figure fans can exert a bit of pressure to hopefully help that happen. Here’s a cheat-sheet!
Get people to watch! Ultimately these decisions are a numbers game. So having a high view count on Netflix or on CBC Online is helpful. If you know people who might enjoy the show, encourage them to watch!
Reach out to the networks! Drop a line to your local Netflix Twitter account and/or to the CBC Twitter account and let them know you’re looking forward to seeing more of Anne!
Spread enthusiasm! Having a loyal and enthusiastic fan-base is helpful to show grassroots support for a show. The fact that the show already has so much discussion, and fan-art and positive support is an encouraging sign. Using the (worldwide) #AnneWithAnE hashtag or the (Canadian) #AnneTheSeries hashtag are nice ways to show that fans are invested :)
Follow on socials! The series has accounts on Facebook and Twitter and Instagram in both Canadian and Worldwide versions. Sparing a Like or a Follow for these accounts helps show that fans are invested in the series.
Hopefully the show is already doing well enough to secure a second season. But the above steps can’t hurt! For those who want the show to continue, feel free to spread this around! Fingers crossed that we’ll get more stories in this lovely new adaptation <3
