The second season of the Canadian comedy series North of North (Chronique arctique) premiered on Netflix on Thursday, November 5, 2026. Set in the fictional town of Ice Cove in the Nunavut territory of the Canadian Arctic, the show follows the life of 26-year-old Siaja. The series was co-created by Inuit filmmakers Stacey Aglok MacDonald and Alethea Arnaquq-Baril, who drew upon their own lived experiences in the North to craft the narrative. Anna Lambe reprises her role as the titular protagonist, Siaja, a character noted for her boundless energy and optimism despite living in a remote community facing significant logistical challenges. The show’s creator, Alethea Arnaquq-Baril, explained in an interview with the Canadian media outlet Exclaim! that the dynamic between Siaja and her boss, Helen (played by Mary Lynn Rajskub), mirrors real-life tensions where non-Indigenous administrators impose solutions on Inuit communities. The series aims to portray the joy and resilience of contemporary Inuit life, moving beyond narratives focused solely on trauma. Filmed partially in Iqaluit, the capital of Nunavut, the series incorporates Inuktitut language and local music, including performances by Nunavik artist Elisapie. The second season consists of eight episodes, each approximately 30 minutes long. The premiere episode opens with the song 'Free' by Florence + The Machine, continuing the show’s tradition of integrating popular music with Inuit cultural elements. [1]
