NETFLIX IS AT IT AGAIN CANCELLING A SHOW THAT DESERVED MORE EXPOSURE. YES I’M TALKING ABOUT ANNE WITH AN E.
It’s a wonderful loose adaptation of Anne of Green Gables that you surely have seen through cute gifsets like this
It’s about family it’s about friendship it’s about belonging and it’s probably the purest, loveliest show you’ll ever see. It’s written by women, directed by many female directors, the producers and showrunner are also female, this is RARE AS HELL. It introduced LGBT characters, it introduced many POC characters, native americans, it started talking about residential schools (and that storyline isn’t even RESOLVED), it talks about consent and women’s rights, it had JUST introduced a character that was deaf and mute. It’s just about as great as it could possibly be, yet this might be all over after JUST 3 SEASONS.
It’s not even out on Netflix yet, and it’s already announced that it will be the last season. It aired on CBC already, so we KNOW the season is good (even more, it’s AMAZING), but there isn’t enough ads for it and it’s not promoted enough (if not at all) by Netflix.
THIS IS A BROOKLYN 99 SITUATION. We need YOU to help us save the show even if you don’t watch it.
Here’s what you can do:
1. TALK ABOUT IT. As much as you can! Talk about it on the internet AND around you. Too many people reply under gifsets by asking what show it is.
2. Tweet with the hashtags #renewawae or #renewannewithane, tweet @cbc or @netflix. We need to make noise so they understand these stories matter!
3. WATCH IT. So many people say Shirbert looks so cute but that they’ve never seen a single episode of the show, well NOW IS THE TIME. You can watch the episodes already out on the CBC website by using a VPN (DO NOT PIRATE THEM. WATCHING THEM ON THE WEBSITE ISN’T HARD, IT’S GREAT QUALITY, AND IT GETS THE VIEWS IN)
4. STREAM IT TOO WHEN ITS OUT ON NETFLIX, JANUARY 3RD. Play it on in the background while you shower or cook or do your homework if you don’t actually watch it, or simply rewatch it a bunch of times (this season is great so trust me you’ll want to)
MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND THESE ARE THE SORT OF STORIES WE WANT TO SEE TOO, NOT JUST RIVERDALE AND STRANGER THINGS AND BIG CASH GRABS.
