YTV will air another two new films based on Lucy Maud Montgomery’s classic “Anne of Green Gables.”

Corus Entertainment announced Monday that Ella Ballentine will return in the starring role of Anne Shirley, as will Martin Sheen, who plays Matthew Cuthbert, and Sara Botsford, who plays his sister Marilla Cuthbert.

“Good Stars” is expected to air next year and “Fire & Dew” in 2018.

The first film in the series, which aired on YTV in February, was also broadcast in the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany, and had a theatrical run in Australia and New Zealand.

Montgomery’s granddaughter, Kate Macdonald Butler, is among the executive producers for the films.
