If you want to watch Anne with an E Season 2 in Canada right now then this is the guide for you. In this guide I’m going to show you the really simple way how you can do just that.
Anne with an E Season 2 is out now and was released worldwide on July 6th, 2018. However, if you’re in Canada you’re probably wondering where it is.
Anne with an E is a CBC production that has been bought by Netflix as one of their ‘Netflix Originals’. This means they have released it across the world in all regions of the Netflix website.
That is unless you’re in Canada. If you search for Anne with an E on the Canadian Netflix website you’ll only be able to choose Season 1. Season 2 is nowhere to be seen. Below I’m going to show you how you can ‘unlock’ Season 2 of Anne with an E in Canada.
Where is Anne with an E Season 2?
Anne with an E being a CBC production is made in Canada. This means that CBC wants to air the show exclusively on their network.
What this means in a nutshell is Anne with an E Season 2 won’t air in Canada until September 23rd, 2018.
A full 2 and a half months after the rest of the world has already been allowed to watch it via Netflix.
If you’re a massive Anne with an E fan then you’ll no doubt be annoyed by this delay, not only because you have to wait but also because the internet is already starting to fill up with spoilers.
However, you don’t need to wait because by using an app called a VPN from a provider such as ExpressVPN you can tap into the US Netflix website and watch Anne with an E Season 2 right now in Canada.
Below I’m going to show you how.
Watch Anne with an E Season 2 in Canada on Netflix
To watch Anne with an E Season 2 on Netflix in Canada you’ll need to get a VPN service. A VPN allows you to disguise your location and appear elsewhere. When you login to Netflix when using a VPN you get access to the US Netflix catalogue.
You’ll first need to choose a VPN provider, there are hundreds. Not all are compatible with US Netflix but I’ve tested a range of them and the three I found to be best are:
I’ve been using ExpressVPN but you can use any of the three above. Follow the instructions below which show you how to get a VPN and how to use it to watch Anne with an E Season 2 in Canada:
- Visit your chosen VPN provider, for example, ExpressVPN by clicking here and sign up for their service.
- Download the correct app for your device from the ‘Products’ section of the ExpressVPN website and install it.
- Open the app and login when required.
- Press Selected Location and then press United States.
- The app will automatically connect for you but you may need to press Connect if it doesn’t.
- Once it’s connected visit the Netflix website like normal.
Watch in Canada using ExpressVPN.
If you’re not already logged in you should login with your standard Canadian Netflix details.
You’ll now be able to search for ‘Anne with an E’ and rather than just being able to watch Season 1, you’ll now be able to watch Season 2 too. Or if you want me to do the work for you, just click this link to go straight to the Anne with an E Season 2 playlist.
Troubleshooting:
If you run into an error when streaming that says you are using a ‘VPN’ or ‘Proxy’ all you need to do is disconnect from the ExpressVPN app, press the small drop down arrow next to United States and select another location, for example Washington DC.
Then press the Connect button. Open the Netflix website again or reload it and then you’ll be able to play Season 2 of Anne with an E in Canada.
Will this work on an Amazon Fire TV / Fire Stick
The solution described above works fine on the Amazon Fire TV / Fire Stick. If you want to watch Anne with an E Season 2 in Canada on your TV then this is the best way.
Simply sign up for ExpressVPN as explained above, install their app from the Amazon store on your Fire TV / Fire Stick and connect to the United States.
You can then open the Netflix app on your Fire TV / Fire Stick and watch Season 2 of Anne with an E.
It will also work on a Windows or Mac computer and an Android or iOS tablet or phone.
What’s new in Anne with an E Season 2
Don’t worry, I’m not including any spoilers in the information below so if you haven’t started watching yet nothing will be ruined by reading below.
Anne with an E is back for Season 2 which was released on Friday 6th (apart from in Canada of course).
Season 2 of Anne with an E is made up of 10 episodes of around 50 minutes each and with a VPN as explained above you can watch every episode of the new Season back to back. This is longer than the original season which only ran for 8 episodes.
If you fancy an Anne with an E binge weekend and you’ve got 8-9 hours to spare then you’ll be able to polish the entire new season off in one sitting.
If you’re a fan of Canadian landscapes then you’re in for a treat this season as there are even more stunning scenes filmed on Prince Edward Island and in Ontario.
