Think of the furthest place north you’ve ever been. Now keep going — all the way up to the Arctic, the setting for new series North of North. From creators Stacey Aglok MacDonald (Qanurli, The Grizzlies) and Alethea Arnaquq-Baril (Angry Inuk, The Grizzlies) comes this new comedy about what happens when you step outside of who you thought you were to step into who you’re meant to be.
Netflix’s first Canadian original series follows Siaja (Anna Lambe), a young Inuk woman who wants to build a new future for herself after a spontaneous — and extremely public — exit from her marriage. But it won’t be easy in her small Arctic town of Ice Cove, Nunavut, where everybody knows your business.
