The Atwood Stories was a Canadian television drama series, which aired on W in 2003.[1] A short-run dramatic anthology series produced by Shaftesbury Films, the series dramatized six short stories by Margaret Atwood.[2] It was one of the first original Canadian drama series ever commissioned by the network.[3]

The series was a Gemini Award nominee for Best Drama Series at the 18th Gemini Awards.[4]

The following year, Shaftesbury produced The Shields Stories, a similar series which dramatized six short stories by another Canadian writer, Carol Shields.[5]
