Green Gables to hit Netflix

Netflix says it will stream an upcoming new Anne of Green Gables adaptation, which will also air on CBC-TV. Emmy Award winner Moira Walley-Beckett is writing the first season of the new series Anne, reports The Ca- nadian Press. Netflix says Walley-Beckett will honour the foundation of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s novel and chart new territory, “reflecting timeless issues including themes of identity, sexism, bullying, prejudice and trusting one’s self.” Production begins in September in Ontario.
