[Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers from “Russian Doll” and the “Emily of New Moon” books.]
“Fucking clues abound,” Natasha Lyonne’s character Nadia says in one of the iterations of her life in Netflix’s “Groundhog Day”-esque “Russian Doll.” One of those biggest clues to Nadia’s macabre, existential adventure lies in the young adult novel “Emily of New Moon.”
In the series, Nadia dies over and over as tragic accidents befall her, but she always resets alive and well in the same bathroom during her 36th birthday party. In the fifth episode, she makes an attempt to try to correct past wrongs and reconnect with her ex-boyfriend by giving a copy of the book “Emily of New Moon” to his teenage daughter. Written by Lucy Maud Montgomery, the same author as the “Anne of Green Gables” series, this book also centers on a young orphan girl in turn-of-the-century Prince Edward Island.
“Everybody loves Anne, but I like Emily. She’s dark,” says Nadia.

“The universe is trying to fuck with me, and I refuse to engage,” announces Nadia, played by Natasha Lyonne, early in Netflix’s new comedy Russian Doll. Co-created by Lyonne (along with Amy Poehler and Sleeping With Other People director Leslye Headland), the series centers on Nadia, a video game designer who keeps dying after her 36th birthday party, only to reanimate at a moment earlier in that same night. It’s a delightful blend of Groundhog Day and your favorite Noah Baumbach film about eccentric, hyper-articulate New Yorkers — and...

“Anne of Green Gables” returns for its final installment of the planned trilogy with “Fire and Dew,” in which Canada’s famed literary orphan starts taking the first steps into adulthood. Having fully embedded herself with the Cuthberts at Green Gables, Anne Shirley (Ella Ballentine) leaves home to seek out better opportunities and higher learning in Charlottetown.
The adaptation of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s novel “Anne of Green Gables” was split into three chunks, which means the first movie was buoyed by Anne’s discovery of a new life filled with wonders, while the second followed her hilarious scrapes as she truly became part of the Avonlea community. Thus, the final movie carries the burden of concluding the story. That is reflected in how the energy feels dialed down, but it is also about Anne being more of an adult, and thus the fun of her mishaps and outlandish imagination are missing.

When last we left Anne (Amybeth McNulty), she was in far better shape than at the end of Season 1 when two con men posing as boarders infiltrated Green Gables. Instead, the second season concluded on a more hopeful note after quite a bit of drama.

Anne Shirley and her beloved Green Gables are being introduced to a new generation thanks to Netflix's period drama Anne With an E. As any fan of the book series knows, Prince Edward Island is the home of Green Gables and Anne's many childhood adventures. The stunning island was also where author Lucy Maud Montgomery wrote the novels, which were first published in 1908. Gorgeous though it may be, Canada's Prince Edward Island is relatively small, and, according to thelocationguide.com, it doesn't offer a great deal of tax incentives for filmmakers. As a result, filming there full-time would be pricey for an ongoing series - and that's exactly why the series is primarily shot in a different, and much more affordable, Canadian city.
In an interview with the CBC, executive producer Miranda de Pencier confirmed that Anne With an E is filmed almost entirely in Ontario, Canada. De Pencier...

Anne of Green Gables has unveiled its first-ever black character, Sebastian, to be played by Canadian actor Dalmar Abuzeid, who joins the Netflix series, Anne With an E, in its second season, set to premiere Friday.
The addition of an Afro-Caribbean character is a watershed moment for a series that is more than just a popular TV drama. Anne With an E, which also airs on Canada's CBC, is a cultural phenomenon based on Lucy Maud Montgomery's 1908 novel about a fiery red-headed orphan in rural Prince Edward Island that has seen several earlier adaptations, including movies, TV shows, stage plays ...

1. “Orange Is the New Black” Season 6 (available July 27)
Why Should I Watch? Every single season of Netflix’s genre-bending hourlong series has been nominated for an Emmy — multiple Emmys, really. The first season snagged 12 nominations and three wins, and the fourth season still pulled in three nominations, even after years of debate over what genre it belongs in, switching categories, and increased competition. That’s probably because Jenji Kohan’s prison drama tells a compelling array of personal stories that come together to drive a timely modern narrative. It’s challenging, daring material that doesn’t always work, but strives to push its story into exciting new arenas. It’s television worth talking about, and that’s hard to come by, even in the peak TV era.
Bonus Reason: So much has been made about the talented ensemble in “Orange Is the New Black,” and so much of the credit...

Netflix said today that Season 2 of Anne With an E will hit the streaming service July 6. It will be available to all subscribers worldwide outside Canada, where the CBC co-produced series bows in September.
The series, inspired by Lucy Maud Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables books, created by Moira Walley-Beckett and produced by Miranda de Pencier’s Northwood Entertainment, was renewed for a second season in August. Its order for a second season was increased from eight to 10 episodes.
The coming-of-age story follows Anne (Amybeth McNulty), an outsider who, against all odds, fights for love, acceptance, and her place in the world. Season 2 adds new characters and continues to explore themes of identity, prejudice, feminism, bullying, gender parity and empowerment. Geraldine James, R.H.

[Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers from the first season of “Anne With an E,” including the finale.]
Kindred spirits and bosom friends, welcome back to Green Gables. The Netflix series “Anne With an E” returns for its second season this July, the streaming service announced on Friday.
For those who remember how Season 1 ended, however, the most immediate concern is the safety and fortunes of the Cuthberts. When we left them in the finale, two shady men that had mugged their hired hand Jerry (Aymeric Jett Montaz) earlier in town are seen at Green Gables. Responding to an ad that Marilla (Geraldine James) had placed to look for boarders, each of the men arrived separately pretending to not know each other for purposes that could only be nefarious. Green Gables had been falling on hard times as it is, and this did not bode well for Marilla, brother Matthew (R.H. Thomson), their adoptee Anne (Amybeth McNulty) or her sunny disposition.
Fortunately, in the trailer for Season 2 below,...

With Thanksgiving comes the return of Canada’s most famous literary orphan to PBS with the second “Anne of Gables” installment. “The Good Stars,” the second film in a trilogy, continues the adventures of poor orphan girl Anne Shirley (Ella Ballentine), who’s finally found a home with elderly couple Matthew (Martin Sheen) and Marilla Cuthbert (Sara Botsford) at Green Gables. When last we saw Anne, she had settled into her new home and made a bosom friend out of Diana (Julia Lalonde). Taking on the adolescent phase of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s Edwardian novel series, “The Good Stars” parallels the growing pains that Anne herself is going through as she becomes a teenager.

“Stranger Things” and “Anne with an E” wouldn’t appear to have much in common. But both Netflix series boast iconic and impactful opening sequences created by the same design studio.
Imaginary Forces creative director Alan Williams, whose company earned lauds for its minimalist title design for “Stranger Things,” reached out to Netflix again when he learned that the streaming service was adapting the novel into a series, “Anne with an E.” Like many, Williams grew up captivated by Anne Shirley, the heroine from author Lucy Maud Montgomery’s book “Anne of Green Gables. The lonely orphan had an indomitable spirit, wild imagination, and affinity for the natural world that she brought with her to Green Gables, where she finally found a home.

Once Netflix decided to change the title of its “Anne of Green Gables” reboot from plain old “Anne” (ugh!) to “Anne with an E,” it proved itself to be a true “kindred spirit” to the poor literary orphan girl.
The beloved character from Lucy Maud Montgomery’s Canadian children’s novel “Anne of Green Gables,” on which the series is based, insists upon that particular spelling of her name because of its elegance. That insistence is also indicative of Anne Shirley’s boisterous personality, which demands that she be heard, that people pay attention, that she is special. Fortunately, Netflix listened and along with settling on a fitting title, the streaming service has also crafted a unique adaptation that is simultaneously faithful to the source material in appearance and story, while expanding the story to comment upon the ills of 1900s rural Canadian society.

Without watching Netflix’s May 12-launching Anne With An E, some might say it is near sacrilege to have a new version of the classic Anne Of Green Gables tale. They could say that on Canada’s 150th anniversary, no small-screen version of L.M. Montgomery's much-adapted 1908 novel could hope reach the heights of the Megan Follows-starring 1985 miniseries and one of the Great White North’s most famous works of literature.

It’s a feminist re-imagining in Netflix’s latest series.
Last Tuesday, Netflix released the first full-length trailer for their new series, Anne. Working with Canadian network CBC, the eight-episode series is an adaptation of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s early 20th century novel Anne of Green Gables. However, don’t expect this to be a word-to-screen adaptation; Anne’s showrunner and writer Moira Walley-Beckett (Breaking Bad) has said in a statement that she “wanted to chart some new territory,” admitting that the series “is not a period piece with a glossy veneer.”
For those unfamiliar with the novel off of which Anne is based, Montgomery’s work begins with the two siblings Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, played R. H. Thomson and Geraldine James in the series, who decide to adopt an orphan boy to help them with their farm, Green Gables, in the fictional town of Avonlea that’s located in Prince Edward Island, Canada...

Of all the faults in PBS’ “Anne of Green Gables,” these are the most glaring and, well, in your face.
