'Anne with an E' star Dalila Bela talks about Diana's inspiring journey on the Netflix show

Season 2 of 'Anne with an E' talks about consent, homophobia, racism, the importance of family, the power of friendship, and the acceptance and love.

‘Anne with an E’ came back with a spectacular season 2 recently and it just so happens to be even more poignant and powerful than its predecessor. While season 1 saw Anne (portrayed by Amybeth McNutty) finding her way around Green Gables and charming everyone that crosses her path, season 2 is about using her using her unique imagination to help the people she loves and stop those trying to hurt her loved ones – which has increased by the dozed over the course of a dozen. The one person who is by her side through it all? Her bosom friend Diana, portrayed by the talented Dalila Bela.  

Even with all the amazing new storylines of ‘Anne with an E’ this season, Diana has one of the most noticeable character trajectories on the show. From being a shy, privileged girl from a well-to-do family, whose sole purpose in life is to be a lady and marry rich, Diana is thrown into situations that make her question her parents’ life choices and her own stance on various topics.
