Despite being canceled nearly two years ago, fans of the Netflix adaptation Anne with an E are determined to help renew the series. The show was canceled for season three before its Netflix release, which was later marketed by streamers as the final season.
Since the premiere of Anne with an E in 2017, Netflix’s Anne with an E original series has been a major platform favorite. The fans of this anime still waiting for the next season of Anne with an E. It has been an annual watch for fans of the story of Anne Shirley-Cuthbert.
Fans mourn as Season 4 of the popular Canadian series, Anne With An E, an adaptation of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s 1908 young-adult classic- Anne of Green Gables, gets canceled. While some hoped, another streaming service would take up the show for a renewal, others were determined to get Anne With An E Season 4.
The internet was flooded with hashtag campaigns and petitions, but all to no avail. But why was Anne With An E Season 4 canceled? Is it due to the lack of audience or had some other factors played a part?
The show, throughout its three-season run, collected quite a loyal fanbase including some big Hollywood celebrity names.
Created by Moira Walley-Beckett, starring Amybeth McNulty in the role of Anne Shirley, the series centers around an orphan girl’s journey from her early teenage years to near adulthood. Set in the late 1890s, the drama follows our protagonist, Anne as she tries to fight her way in the world hoping for love and acceptance, having come from an abusive background. It is conceptualized as a coming-of-age story and not fearing to speak out one’s mind.
SPOILERS AHEAD!
With time, this 13-year-old girl changes and influences lives of those living in the small town of Green Gables with her admirable intellect and high-spirited nature. She faces various challenges and is subjected to distrust, prejudice, and bullying but by the end of the first season, she manages to find a place in the family and continues to go on with her life trying to overcome obstacles and win a place in the heart of the others in Avonlea.
Season 2 is all about knowing to trust one’s instincts, new bonds being made, love, and loss.
The major storyline here was all about saving Miss Stacy from the wrath of the entire town, as she was a young single teacher being accused based on her ‘unorthodox’ teaching methods and ‘questionable character’. Unlike Season 1, this season ends on a much merrier tone, with Anne and Gilbert keeping aside their differences and bonding. This ending was neat and satisfying, without leaving any loose threads.

Season 3 is mainly about sixteen-year-old Anne, being driven by a strong desire to find her biological parents.
But her quest to find out about the history of her birth doesn’t seem as comfortable as expected as Matthew and Maple face a hard time wrapping their heads around the thought of Anne leaving Green Gables.
In the final moments of this season, Anne finally learns about her birth history and the series ends with her explaining whatever she learned about her parents, to Gilbert, over a letter. Fans hoped to see the chemistry of Anne and Gilbert in Anne With An E Season 4.
SEASON FINALE ENDING
Gilbert breaks off his engagement and writes Anne a note declaring his feeling of love for her. “I don’t expect your good favor, but I can’t in good conscience not reveal myself. I’m not engaged, nor will I be, unless it’s you, Anne. My Anne with an E. It has always been, and always will be you. With love, Gilbert.”
When Anne sees the note, even before reading it, assuming it’s bad news, she tears it up. She thinks Gilbert has rejected her and now, more than ever is set on her decision to go to college. On the other hand, Diana’s mother isn’t ready to let her go to college, thus Marilla tries her best to convince her.
The season ended with Gilbert and Anne getting together as all misunderstandings are cleared. She and Diana decide to go to college where they plan to become roommates.
Anne and Gilbert agree on becoming pen pals and Miss Stacey helps Gilbert get into the University of Toronto.
Although the series ends on a comforting note with Anne telling Diana,” If I could write the perfect ending to this chapter of our lives, it would be this!”, fans all over the world are frustrated and taking to social media, appealing for Anne With An E Season 4.
