What Is the New Season About?
Siaja came back to Ice Cove after leaving her marriage, determined to give her daughter a fresh start. Season 1 ended with her finding her feet — and her voice — while juggling a new job, an ex who still lives nearby, and a community that had a lot to say about her choices.
Season 2 pushes her further. She is no longer just settling in; she is starting to dream bigger. The new season asks what happens when a woman who has always been told to keep quiet starts saying exactly what she wants. That is why north of north season 2 feels like more than a cosy comedy — it is a story about ambition, family and the courage to change, wrapped in jokes and Arctic warmth.
The Cast, Old and New
Anna Lambe’s Siaja remains the heart of the show. She plays the character with a mix of stubbornness, humour and vulnerability that makes even small moments feel big. Around her, the returning cast brings the community to life: Keira Cooper as Bun, Maika Harper as Neevee, Mary Lynn Rajskub as Helen, Tanya Tagaq as Nuliajuk, and Zorga Qaunaq as Elisapee.
The new season adds fresh faces too: Joshua Odjick as Abel, Katelyn Wells as Alanna, Michael A. Smith as Colin, Michelle Thrush as Marla, and Stephen Kalyn as Ben.
Eight Episodes, All at Once
Eight half-hour episodes means roughly four hours of viewing — perfect for a weekend binge or a few cosy evenings.
The Arctic setting is still one of the show’s biggest joys. Snow, sleds, community feasts and northern skies give the comedy a backdrop that feels fresh and different from most streaming shows.
Why This Return Matters
North of North works because it never talks down to its audience. It is funny without being cruel, warm without being sentimental, and it gives a young Inuk woman the centre of the story in a way few shows do.
