Hi Reddit! 

We’re the team behind NORTH OF NORTH—co-creators Stacey Aglok MacDonald & Alethea Arnaquq-Baril, alongside stars Anna Lambe (Siaja) & Maika Harper (Neevee)—hailing all the way from the Arctic town of “Ice Cove”!

Season 2 will officially premiere in Canada on CBC Gem beginning Tuesday, September 8 (around 9 AM ET)! Canadians can stream new episodes weekly for FREE on CBC Gem. For our international friends, hang tight—Netflix will be launching Season 2 globally later this Fall, and we promise it’ll be worth the wait!

We’re taking questions live from 11 AM – 12 PM ET on Tuesday, September 8.
(If you can't join us live, drop your questions in the comments in advance and we’ll answer as many as we can during the AMA!)

Ask us anything about:

• Filming in Nunavut: What it’s like shooting in the Canadian Arctic (and how hair & makeup kept products from freezing in sub-zero temps!).
• Behind the Scenes: Character dynamics, production secrets and Season 2 storylines (spoiler-free!).
• Arctic Style & Beats: Our incredible fashion, traditional costuming and banging soundtrack.
• Working Together: Stories from our phenomenal cast and crew.

Get to know us:

• Stacey Aglok MacDonald (Co-Creator): Before North of North, Stacey co-created and produced Qanurli, a hit Inuktut-language comedy TV series that ran for seven seasons in Canada on APTN.
• Alethea Arnaquq-Baril (Co-Creator): Before storytelling took over, Alethea studied math at the University of Waterloo with dreams of becoming a video game designer!
• Anna Lambe (“Siaja”): Born in Newfoundland and raised in Iqaluit, Anna landed her very first acting role in Stacey and Alethea’s 2018 film The Grizzlies. You can also catch her starring alongside Brad Pitt and J.K. Simmons in the upcoming film Heart of the Beast (premiering Sept 25).
• Maika Harper (“Neevee”): Beyond her lead role in North of North and starring in another hit Canadian TV series titled Mohawk Girls, Maika is an accomplished children’s book author!

About our show:

North of North is an APTN, CBC and Netflix original series produced by Red Marrow Media and Northwood Entertainment. Our show follows Siaja, a young Inuk mother building a new future after a very public breakup in a small Arctic town where everyone knows your business. Guided by Pilimmaksarniq (ᐱᓕᒻᒪᒃᓴᕐᓂᖅ)—the Inuktitut concept of mastering skills through observation, practice, and effort—Season 2 sees Siaja making bold decisions (and even bolder mistakes) to level up her life as winter closes in on Ice Cove.

Check out our Season 2 trailer and let us know what you're most excited to see! 👀

A Quick Language Guide & Community Note:

• Inuk vs. Inuit: Please use Inuk when referring to one person (e.g. Siaja is an Inuk mom) and Inuit when referring to two or more people or the community as a whole (e.g. Stacey and Alethea are Inuit filmmakers from the Inuit community).
• Terminology: Please do not use the outdated term starting with "E." It is an outdated term that was imposed by outsiders and is considered offensive in Canada and Greenland.
• House Rules: As always in this subreddit, keep it respectful! No personal attacks, trolling, or discriminatory comments of any kind.

Fire away with your questions—Ask Us Anything!

EDIT: Added video, which was somehow missing.

New episodes streaming NOW in Canada on APTN+ (paid streaming service), followed by CBC Gem (free streaming service), CBC TV and APTN TV next Tuesday, September 8.

For our friends outside of Canada, Season 2 will premiere globally on Netflix later this Fall.

Wait, there's more! Here's the full synopsis of what you can expect in Season 2:

>Winter is settling over Ice Cove, and young Inuk mother Siaja is still determined to make life better - for herself and everyone around her. This season she learns that while you can blow up your life on an impulse, building the one you want takes a little more planning and a lot more hustle. Guided by ᐱᓕᒻᒪᒃᓴᕐᓂᖅ Pilimmaksarniq - the Inuktitut concept of mastering skills through observation, practice and effort - Siaja is ready to put in the work. At the community centre, she's pushing her boss, Helen, to trust her with more responsibility. At home, she's trying to learn everything she can about the half-sister she never knew existed. And after her divorce, she's open to the possibility of love - or at the very least, a hot date. Through it all, she's raising her daughter, Bun, alongside her mother, Neevee, and newfound father, Alistair. Siaja has always believed the best is yet to come. This winter, she's determined to prove it.
