A question on everyone’s minds is whether Anne the Series (aka Anne with an E) will get a second season. We have some info starting to come out on that topic…

Anne is a joint production between the Canadian television channel, CBC and the worldwide distributor Netflix. For the show to continue, both parties need to agree to fund more episodes. A recent article explains the following…

“There’s a simple, yet frustrating, reason a second season of Anne wasn’t announced at CBC’s upfront presentation on Wednesday morning. Netflix has yet to weigh in on its commitment to a sophomore go-round of Anne Shirley’s adventures in Avonlea.

“[A second season announcement] is pending,” Sally Catto, general manager, programming at CBC told us. “It’s a partnership and they’ve just started broadcast it.”

In shorter terms, for there to be a Season 2 of Anne, it has to do well on Netflix and they have to say ‘yes’ to doing more. The show’s producers want to do five seasons of the show, but that’s dependent on it being renewed. I figure fans can exert a bit of pressure to hopefully help that happen. Here’s a cheat-sheet!

Get people to watch! Ultimately these decisions are a numbers game. So having a high view count on Netflix or on CBC Online is helpful. If you know people who might enjoy the show, encourage them to watch!

Reach out to the networks! Drop a line to your local Netflix Twitter account and/or to the CBC Twitter account and let them know you’re looking forward to seeing more of Anne!

Spread enthusiasm! Having a loyal and enthusiastic fan-base is helpful to show grassroots support for a show. The fact that the show already has so much discussion, and fan-art and positive support is an encouraging sign. Using the (worldwide) #AnneWithAnE hashtag or the (Canadian) #AnneTheSeries hashtag are nice ways to show that fans are invested :)

Follow on socials! The series has accounts on Facebook and Twitter and Instagram in both Canadian and Worldwide versions. Sparing a Like or a Follow for these accounts helps show that fans are invested in the series.

This incredible invention is keeping girls in school

For Trinitas Kunashe, like many girls in Malawi, getting her period was unexpected, unexplained and a burden for her everyday life. Often, girls who do not have access to pads prefer to stay home and out of school for the duration of their periods.

But Trinitas is changing that with her amazing new invention:

Made from bright and comfortable locally-sourced fabrics, Tina Pads are a hit amongst girls in her community. They are waterproof, practical and fun – and most importantly reusable.

Determined to make sure no girl is forced to miss school because of her period, Trinitas is a passionate believer in the power of education to change lives.

It’s a link to the project!!
