Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story

Anne of Green Gables The Continuing Story was a 2000 television film, also broadcast as a miniseries, that was highly anticipated among fans of Anne of Green Gables. It borrowed characters from the Anne of Green Gables novels by Lucy Maud Montgomery but not actual plot lines. Instead it served as a sequel to two miniseries produced by CBC Television in the 1980s. It was the most controversial and heavily criticized of the three film adaptations written and produced by Kevin Sullivan.

Megan Follows reprised the role of Anne Shirley, with Jonathan Crombie reprising his Gilbert Blythe role.
