What happens

The Shields Stories was a Canadian television drama series, which aired on W in 2004. A short-run dramatic anthology series produced by Shaftesbury Films, the series dramatized six short stories by Carol Shields. The series was a sequel of sorts to Shaftesbury's prior The Atwood Stories, which dramatized six short stories by another Canadian writer, Margaret Atwood. A third series, which would have dramatized short stories by Alice Munro, was planned but did not materialize. The series was a Gemini Award nominee for Best Drama Series at the 19th Gemini Awards.
