Based on the international best-selling novel by L.M. Montgomery, these Emmy award-winning productions, filmed amidst the spectacular scenery of Prince Edward Island, are delicate epics full of wit, style, and emotional power. When Anne Shirley (Megan Follows) mistakenly arrives at the home of an elderly couple looking to adopt a male farmhand, she ultimately creates a meaningful life for herself throughout this landmark story of an outsider struggling through adolescence to triumph as a young woman. The Green Gables series of films have become classics that continue to resonate globally for modern audiences, with their sense of romance and multi-generational themes about family, friendship, and finding ones place in the world.
