Netflix’s official synopsis reads: “Set in Prince Edward Island in the late 1890s, the series centres on Anne, a young orphaned girl who, after an abusive childhood spent in orphanages and the homes of strangers, is mistakenly sent to live with an ageing sister and brother.

“Over time, 13-year-old Anne will transform the lives of Marilla (Geraldine James) and Matthew Cuthbert (R. H. Thompson) and eventually the entire small town in which they live with her unique spirit, fierce intellect and brilliant imagination.

“Anne’s adventures will reflect timeless and topical issues including themes of identity, feminism, bullying and prejudice.
