​Anne Shirley is going around the world. Netflix says it will stream an upcoming new Anne of Green Gables adaptation, which will air in Canada on CBC-TV and has several women at the helm. Emmy Award winner Moira Walley-Beckett is writing the entire first season of the new series Anne, which is based on Lucy Maud Montgomery's classic novel. The story features heroine Anne Shirley, an orphan teen in the 1890s who charms the elderly siblings she is mistakenly sent to live with in Prince Edward Island. The show will stream globally on Netflix as it airs on CBC-TV in Canada next year.
