This seems... risky.

Canada's CBC just announced that Emmy-winning producer and writer Moira Walley-Beckett (best known for Breaking Bad) is working on a new TV adaptation of Lucy Maud Montgomery's classic children's novel Anne of Green Gables. I don't see how it would be humanly possible to top the 1980s adaptations, but CBC is clearly feeling confident: they've already put in an eight-episode series order.
