Anne with an E
Anne with anEseason 4 should have been a slam dunk.
Instead, the popular CBC series was canceled on Netflix.
There have been numerousadaptations ofAnne of Green Gablesover the years.
The 1908 novel by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery wascottagecore before cottagecore was even a thing.
With a devoted fanbase and good reviews,it’s confusing why it was canceled so suddenly.
An exact reason for the cancellation has yet to be given, but a few hints have been offered.

She wrote in the post,
“hey know that we fought, too.

‘Next to trying and winning, the best thing is trying and failing.’
LM Montgomery said that.

This is one of those times.
But it’s impossible to argue with words like Economics, Algorithms, Demographics, etc., etc.
But those words and others like them are the reason why the Networks dont want to continue.
And we didn’t find a taker anywhere else.”
Fans even went so far as to spam unrelated CBC and Netflix posts with the hashtag #renewannewithane.
At the time of writing, the petition has over 1.78 million verified signatures (viaChange).
That’s still not all.
Celebrities even got in on the fervor.
English singer Sam Smith joined the fray as well.
