Why Season 1 Was Such a Big Deal
If you haven’t watched Season 1 yet, here’s your sign. Created, written, and executive produced by Inuk filmmakers Stacey Aglok MacDonald and Alethea Arnaquq-Baril, North of North was the breakout CanCon hit of 2025 — co-commissioned by Netflix, CBC, and APTN. It earned a rare 100% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, became the most-watched new series on CBC Gem, and cracked Netflix’s global top 10 in 33 individual countries, racking up 9 million global views in its first few months. For a show set in a tiny fictional Arctic town, that’s genuinely extraordinary. whats-on-netflix

What Is North of North About?
The first season introduced us to Siaja, a young Inuk mother who dreams of reinventing herself after an extremely spontaneous and public exit from her marriage to the town’s “golden boy,” Ting. Through eight half-hour episodes, we watched her navigate single motherhood, dating in a remote town with very limited options, and long-standing family dynamics — all in a place where literally everyone knows your business. whats-on-netflix
Think small-town chaos, big heart, razor-sharp humour — with genuine cultural representation that feels completely fresh.
What to Expect From Season 2?
The new season will continue to follow Siaja’s journey as she builds her new life in Ice Cove, with more culture clashes, hilarious town-wide gossip, and heartwarming community moments as the show continues to tackle real issues faced by Inuit communities through its sharp, comedic lens.
Lead actress Anna Lambe has teased Season 2 is “crazier” and more emotionally intense — calling it “without question, the hardest thing I’ve ever filmed in my entire life,” with the entire cast and crew enduring temperatures reaching minus 50 degrees during four consecutive weeks of Arctic filming.
Who’s Returning?
All your Ice Cove favorites are heading back, including Anna Lambe as Siaja, Maika Harper, Braeden Clarke, Jay Ryan, Mary Lynn Rajskub, and more. The only newly confirmed addition so far is Sabrina Wan in the role of Haishi.
