‘Anne of Green Gables’ Series Worldwide Talent Search

tg

There is an upcoming television series which will be based upon the classic novel Anne of Green Gables written by Lucy Maud Montgomery. The casting directors at Northwood Entertainment are on a worldwide talent hunt for a young girl to play the lead actress, Anne, the pugnacious, determined, red-haired girl. The television show will be called “Anne”. The filming will be done in Canada and production will start this summer. CBC, The Canadian Broadcaster has given an order of 8 episodes for the brand new series for the first season.

The television adaptation of this mind-blowing classic is being penned down by the award-winning writer of Breaking Bad, Moira Walley-Beckett. She is also executive producing the series.

The casting directors alongside the production company will be holding “video auditions”. Submissions for this can be made online on a talent search website. All the English speaking girls aged 11-14 years residing in UK, USA and Canada can audition.

The casting for the show will be done by some brilliant directors. They are:

  • Stephanie Gorin (Degrassi The Next Generation)

  • Telsey & Co. (Hamilton. Into the Woods)

  • Susie Figgis (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Alice in Wonderland)

About Anne

The coming-of-age tale of Anne tells the struggles of an outsider who faces adverse situations and relentlessly fights to be accepted and loved. However, the show is based upon the book, the challenges and the adventures faced by Anne are brand new. She will meet new people and make new discoveries so this TV series Anne is pretty much going to be contemporary. But the show is still set in 1900s so the millions of lovers of Anne will find this show to be unique and it wouldn’t be wrong to call the new show as Anne in the High School Years!
