What Is North of North About?

This production titled “The Grizzlies” was developed by Stacey Aglok MacDonald (known as Qanurli) and Alethea Arnaquq-Baril. It is executive produced by Miranda de Pencier, who has worked on shows like “Anne with an E,” “Beginners,” and also “The Grizzlies.” In this film, Lambe acts alongside Mary Lynn Rajskub, Keira Cooper, Maika Harper, Jay Ryan, and Braedan Clarke.

The show, titled “North of North,” is set in the made-up Arctic town of Ice Cove, Nunavut, which is characterized by a close-knit society where people are well acquainted with each other. The story revolves around a young Inuk woman named Siaja, who takes an extraordinary step to leave her marriage and do so publicly in this tight-knit community. Spanning eight 30-minute episodes, the series charts Siaja’s personal journey within her hometown as she navigates her mother’s hidden truths and the judgment from her neighbors.

In Season 1, Siaja landed a position as an assistant to the town manager, proving herself to be quite competent. She also made efforts to meet new people and found herself developing feelings for Kuuk. The season concluded with her father choosing to reside in Ice Cove permanently, and both Kuuk and his girlfriend Alexis opting to stay there as well. This decision added a layer of complexity to the ongoing storyline.

North of North Season 1 is streaming on Netflix. Season 2 doesn’t have a release date.
