Anne With an E‘s adventures are coming to an end: The Netflix/CBC drama has been cancelled after three seasons, with the third and final season to debut Friday, Jan. 3 on the streamer. (The series finale already aired in Canada this past Sunday.)

“I’m sorry for the sad Netflix/CBC news today,” executive producer Moira Walley-Beckett wrote on Instagram. “I wish it could be different but it cannot. We have reached the end of the red Green Gables road after three wonderful seasons. My heart is heavy but I am so proud of this show — proud of my talented cast, crew, writers, and directors for working together so passionately to bring my vision of [Anne With an E] to life.”
