About the series Building on the success of the acclaimed first season of ‘ANNE with an E’, we return to Prince Edward Island in the late 1890s for more of Anne Shirley-Cuthbert’s adventures (and misadventures) with growing up. As the Cuthbert family deals with the consequences of their shifty new boarders, Anne also befriends Cole, a fellow student who is bullied at school. Meanwhile, Gilbert experiences life outside of Avonlea, working on a steamship alongside Sebastian, a Trinidadian sailor. This season dives deeper into explorations of gender, race, sexuality, bullying, prejudice, and community, further connecting the world of the viewer and the world of Avonlea.
