Backstage With AmyBeth McNulty & Moira Walley-Beckett For Netflix’s ANNE WITH AN E

The series is an edgy adaptation of a classic book.

BackstageOL’s Dave Morales sat down with newcomer AmyBeth McNulty and executive producer Moira Walley-Beckett in this backstage interview to talk about Anne With An E, a Netflix series based on author Lucy Maud Montgomery’s 1908 classic Anne of Green Gables.

In the interview, the duo share how they both read (and loved) the book when they were little girls, the emotional story of Anne and more!

The series’ synopsis:

This reimagining of the classic book and film is a coming-of-age story about a young orphan who is seeking love, acceptance and her place in the world. Amybeth McNulty stars as Anne, a 13-year-old who has endured an abusive childhood in orphanages and the homes of strangers. In the late 1890s, Anne is mistakenly sent to live with aging siblings, Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, who live on Prince Edward Island. Anne, who proves to be uniquely spirited, imaginative and smart, transforms the lives of Marilla, Matthew and everyone else in their small town.
