Will ‘Anne With an E’ be renewed for Season 4? Fans start new petition and it already has 300k signatures
Inspired by the timeless Canadian novel, 'Anne of Green Gables', by Lucy Maud Montgomery, 'Anne with an E' charts a bold new territory in Season 3 while further exploring themes of identity, prejudice, feminism, bullying, gender parity and empowerment through the lens of its fierce, starry-eyed, irrepressible 14-year-old protagonist.
A coming-of-age story, reimagined by creator Moira Walley-Beckett, the CBC series has made several hearts skip a beat. After it dropped Season 3 on Netflix and it was touted to be the last one, fans have been actively petitioning Netflix to renew it for Season 4. Back in November, the campaign #SaveAnnewithanE crossed two million tweets and #AnnewithanE trended again on January 3 after the Season 3 launch.
It seems like fans won't let go as they have started a new petition. Titled 'Renew Anne with an E for Season 4!!', it already has 307,769 signatures when this article was published. The petition reads, "Guys we all loved season 3, but there is so much more we need answers to and want to see! The whole Ka'kwet storyline and Anne's Queen life and obviously how Shirbert develops! So let's hope this petition catches the eye of Netflix and they decide to renew the show for season 4! Anne would want us to fight!"
Twitter is also abuzz with requests to renew the show. "Isn’t it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about It just makes me feel glad to be alive it’s such an interesting world It wouldn’t be half so interesting if we know all about everything, would it #renewannewithane #AnneWithAnE," one fan posted and another wrote, "ANNE 300K #renewannewithane #AnneWithAnE #anne300k."
Another one posted, "#AnneWithAnE you are our inspiration! Hope the show gets renewed soon! #Sanditon #SanditonPBS #SaveSanditon."
Not just fans, celebrities also want to see the series. Ryan Reynolds tweeted in January: "You guys might want to renew Anne with an E. Unless 'final season' is just a fun way of saying 'halfway point'."
The series stars Amybeth McNulty (Anne Shirley-Cuthbert), Geraldine James (Marilla Cuthbert), RH Thomson (Matthew Cuthbert), Corrine Koslo (Rachel Lynde), Dalila Bela (Diana Barry), Aymeric Jett Montaz (Jerry Baynard), Lucas Zumann (Gilbert Blythe) and Kyla Matthews (Ruby Gillis).
