When Matthew goes to pick the child up at the railway station, he finds not a boy, but a high - spirited and talkative girl, Anne Shirley. At first, the Cuthberts are inclined to send her back, particularly after Marilla 's brooch goes missing, and Anne, in despair, runs away. The family reconciles and Anne settles in her new home. Upon starting school, Anne once again displays boundless enthusiasm which is nevertheless easily turned into despair when things go wrong, which they often do. Slowly, her ebullient nature wins over those around her. Cast Main Amybeth McNulty as Anne Shirley Geraldine James as Marilla Cuthbert R.H.

Personnel Besides the show itself having a larger number of female characters than male, women serving as executive producer and showrunner, the series has several female directors. For the second season, showrunner and scriptwriter Moira Walley - Beckett is joined by a team of women writers. Casting Approximately 1800 girls on three continents auditioned for the role of Anne Shirley. Amybeth McNulty was chosen for her ability to deliver dialogue which is `` incredibly thick and dynamic and beautiful '', according to Miranda de Pencier. Walley - Beckett describes her as at once `` luminous, '' transparent, smart, soulful and emotional. Filming locations The series is filmed partially in Prince Edward Island as well as locations in Southern Ontario ( including Millbrook and Caledon ). Music The opening theme is the song `` Ahead by a Century '' performed and originally composed by Canadian band The Tragically Hip. Themes Moira Walley - Beckett had this to say about her treatment, which is darker than the previous productions : `` In this day and age, themes of identity, prejudice, bullying, being an outsider, searching for a way to be accepted and how to belong are entirely topical and super relevant, and those are themes that are built into the story of ' Anne. ' '' She went on to call Anne Shirley an `` accidental feminist '', and how she `` really wanted to tell this story now. '' For the second season, according to what she called her `` master plan '', Walley - Beckett introduced an entirely new character of her own, Bash, to reflect the racial diversity present in and around Charlottetown at the time of the novel, with a view to representing a community absent from previous adaptations, achieving this by having Gilbert travel on a steamship and meet with the new character in Trinidad : `` Bash is the vehicle to explore intolerance and inequality, even more when he goes to The Bog, when he learns that other black people live there. '' Walley - Beckett explains : `` The Bog is the community that 's just outside of Charlottetown, where people of color were marginalized and had their own community there. '' Broadcast and Release The series initially premiered on March 19, 2017, on CBC and aired on a weekly basis, the season finale airing on April 30, 2017. The series debuted on Netflix on May 12, 2017, under the title Anne with an E.

Reception Critical response The first season has achieved a rating of 84 % on Rotten Tomatoes, the site 's critical consensus stating : `` Anne with an E uses its complex central character to offer a boldly stylish, emotionally resonant spin on classic source material that satisfies in its own right. '' The series has received a rating of 79 on Metacritic based on fifteen reviews, indicating `` generally favorable reviews ''. Emily Ashby, writing for Common Sense Media, calls the series an `` exceptional '' and `` spectacular '' interpretation, giving it four out of five stars. Tasha Cerny, contributor for the Tracking Board, praises the cinematography as lush and colourful, the characters vibrant, and the plot `` surprisingly thrilling for a story about a young girl living in a small secluded community in the late nineteenth century. I laughed, I cried, and I did n't expect either from a show about a little girl. '' Gwen Inhat of The A.V. Club calls the series `` at once darker and sweeter than the original '' novel, praising the core cast, reserving the highest for the series lead : `` Amybeth McNulty defies her youth with a performance that 's less a portrayal of Anne than an absolute possession. It ca n't be easy to make Anne 's fanciful language sing the way she does, and McNulty captures the endearing awkwardness that enables Anne to win over everyone she comes in contact with. '' Writing of the 90 - minute premiere episode for the Toronto Star, Johanna Schneller was appreciative of Walley - Beckett 's departures from the novel, bringing its subtext to the fore : `` Reading between the novel 's lines and adding verisimilitude, she gives us quick but potent glimpses of the miseries many orphans faced in 1890s imperialist culture. '' Hanh Nguyen, reviewing the series for IndieWire, concurs with this assessment, saying : `` Rather than ruining the series, they give the context for why Anne would be filled with gratitude for the beauties of nature, basic human decency and having a family to call her own. Montgomery had based much of Anne 's need for escape into imagination on her own lonely childhood, and her stories have always had an underlying poignancy that made them all the sweeter. '' Jen Chaney, writing for Vulture.com, agrees, saying : `` What distinguishes it from other previous Anne iterations is its willingness to harden some of the story 's softness, just enough, to create an element of realism that period pieces, Gables - related or not, can be inclined to avoid. '' Neil Genzlinger writing for The New York Times, commenting on reports of darkness and grittiness, goes so far as to call the adaptation `` richer '' than the source material : `` Ms. McNulty 's Anne is still wonderfully ebullient and eminently likable ; she 's just not the one - dimensional figure of other adaptations ''. Annie Hirschlag, writing for Mic, suggests that a genuinely contemporary Anne is bound to reflect the current television landscape and wider culture of its times ( the 2010s ) : `` Since today 's entertainment is peppered with antiheroes -- characters who are far from perfect, even occasionally villainous -- it makes sense that Anne 's familiar idealism is fringed with darkness and agony. '' Some reviewers were more ambivalent, mainly about Walley - Beckett 's changes to the story. Canadian novelist Saleema Nawaz, who reviewed the 90 - minute first episode for Toronto Life, said she enjoyed it more than she expected, particularly the set designs and costumes, as well as the performances by McNulty and Thomson, and she approved of the choice of theme song as reflective of the continued relevance of the source material. She was less sure about how far the series intended to stray from that source material, and disapproved of the `` manufactured drama, such as Matthew 's wild horse ride ''. Writing for Entertainment Weekly, Isabella Beidenharn expressed similar feelings, but, `` putting the source material aside, it 's a fine show on its own '', and she conceded that `` inventing a dark side might help Anne With an E fit into today 's TV landscape ''. Allison Keene, writing for Collider, agrees that Anne is a good drama on its own terms, but allows it is `` only a fair adaptation '' of the novel, at its best in the home scenes : `` Anne with an E is undeniably the most stylish adaptation we 've ever seen of Anne of Green Gables. But its desire to reveal more of Anne 's miserable past in order to be more true to what the desperation of an orphan is like feels at odds with Montgomery 's story. '' Writing for Variety, critic Sonia Saraiya is even more ambivalent, describing the series as on the one hand `` a brilliant adaptation '' which `` succeeds admirably '', but on the other hand, `` the show ca n't quite sustain the brilliance, veering first into maudlin territory and then into the oddly saccharine as it tests out its tone '', contending that `` the show gets a bit bogged down in telling the story of Anne 's dysfunction '', presenting `` a slightly soapy view of Anne 's trials and tribulations that at times really humanize her and in others, are rather infantilizing ''. Sarah Larson, writing for The New Yorker, was not at all impressed with changes made to the story, arguing that they alter Anne 's character to the point of non-recognition. While she acknowledges that bringing subtext to the fore is a fine idea, she is not pleased with the execution, saying that the result is part `` the Anne we know and love '' and part `` untrustworthy stranger '', calling the alteration and addition of scenes a `` betrayal '' of Montgomery 's novel, comparing the treatment unfavourably to Patricia Rozema 's 1999 adaptation of Jane Austen 's Mansfield Park. For Joanna Robinson, writing for Vanity Fair, a central problem with the show is that it `` seems to think that in order for Anne to be a feminist figure, she has to butt up against a straw - man - filled patriarchy, '' and so it turned many of the male characters into misogynists, most notably the Reverend Allan, who is considered by Anne to be a `` kindred spirit '' in the book : `` Anne with an E seems to think Anne 's triumphs are only noteworthy if she 's continually told she ca n't succeed, when in fact her unfettered brilliance needs no such clumsy opposition. It also seems to think that Anne needs a radical feminist makeover when, in fact, the story of her success was feminist in its own right. '' This is part of a more general problem Robinson notes, that conflicts are exaggerated and overdone : `` this series thrives on non-stop tragedy.
