Pack your parkas — Season 2 of the critically acclaimed, heartfelt arctic comedy North of North will premiere on Netflix on Nov. 5.
As winter settles over Ice Cove, young Inuk mother Siaja (Anna Lambe) is still determined to make life better — for herself and everyone around her. It turns out that while you can blow up your life on an impulse, building the one you want takes a little more planning and a lot more hustle.
Guided by pilimmaksarniq — the Inuktitut concept of mastering skills through observation, practice and effort — Siaja is ready to put in the work. At the community center, she’s pushing her boss, Helen (Mary Lynn Rajskub), to trust her with more responsibility. At home, she’s trying to learn everything she can about the half-sister she never knew existed. And after her divorce, she’s open to the possibility of love — or at the very least, a hot date. Through it all, she’s raising her daughter, Bun (Keira Belle Cooper), alongside her mother, Neevee (Maika Harper), and newfound father, Alistair (Jay Ryan). Siaja has always believed the best is yet to come. This winter, she’s determined to prove it.
North of North is Netflix’s first Canadian original series, a coproduction with CBC in partnership with APTN.
Created by Stacey Aglok MacDonald (Qanurli, The Grizzlies) and Alethea Arnaquq-Baril (Angry Inuk, The Grizzlies) and executive produced by Miranda de Pencier (Anne with an E, Beginners, The Grizzlies), the series’ first season has a rare 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Lambe was even nominated for a Gotham TV Award for her performance.
“When I got the call from Alethea, Stacey, and Miranda about North of North being renewed for a second season, my heart exploded in the best way possible,” Lambe told Netflix. “I’m so excited and overwhelmed with joy, I can’t wait to head back to Ice Cove!”
