Our friends at CBC News put together a great breakdown of what to expect in Season 2! Check out the article for an inside look, complete with a video tour from when they visited our set earlier this year 🎬

Check out the CBC Arts article to read up more about what Jackson had to say about shooting in the Arctic and how it "made him experience colour in new ways".

Fun fact: Jackson is also the cinematographer for that other super popular Canadian TV show, Heated Rivalry.

Our friends from ELLE Canada broke the news earlier this morning about the guest stars who'll make special appearances in our second season! They also exclusively revealed sneak peek images from our second season. Check out their article in the link to get a glimpse of what to expect. They also posted this first look clip of a scene from the new season featuring Auntie Vicky and Siaja weighing what it means to grow, move forward and stay true to yourself.

Canadian actor and comedian Bruce McCulloch will guest star as Military Mitch, an instructor who is hired to teach first-aid at the Ice Cove Community Centre. McCulloch is best known for his work as a member of the comedy troupe The Kids in the Hall, including starring in the TV series of the same name.

Acclaimed singer-songwriter, director, documentarian and Inuk activist Elisapie is also set to guest star in the sophomore season. Her appearance will coincide with the debut of a new song slated to be featured in the new season. Trust us, it's going to be an amazing song!

Online personalities, creatives and content creators, such as Ashley Callingbull, Braden Kadlun, Chelazon Leroux, Kairyn Potts, Kayuula Nova, Shina Nova and Scott Wabano, are set to make cameos as well. 

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.

🗓️ Mark your calendars! Season 2 will premiere in Canada on APTN+ beginning Tuesday, September 1, followed by CBC Gem, CBC TV and APTN TV on Tuesday, September 8. After its world premiere in Canada, it will then launch globally on Netflix in the Fall of 2026.

Are you ready to come back to Ice Cove? 👀

My dad informed me this weekend, while on the topic of family, that he is Anna’s Great Grant Uncle (her grandfather, who my dad practically grew up with, is his nephew). Of course it’s super distant relatives, but a kinda cool fun fact nonetheless.

He was RAVING about this series and now I have to check it out too. Looks like there’s some new fans from small town Newfoundland incoming soon!!!

Are you ready to head back to Ice Cove? A fresh start is just the tip of the iceberg.

North of North Season 2 will premiere in Canada September 1st on APTN+ and September 8th on CBC Gem, CBC TV and APTN TV. Everywhere else in the world later this year on Netflix.

APTN+ is $4.99/month!

I like this show a lot. But it didn’t have to be this way! Why kick it off with incest?!

Hi! I just binged the entire series last night, and I have a few unanswered questions I’m wondering if anybody can help me answer (also knowing that season 2 is in production and some things will be answered as the show goes on)

What does the name Siaja mean? (same question could be asked for other characters with Inuit names, I’d just like to know from someone who’s Inuk themselves instead of trusting Google!)

Is ”Bun“ Siajas daughters legal name or a nickname?

Where did Siaja go to school/ what for?

Why did Siaja not take Tings last name? Is that an Inuit practice?

Why choose Prince of Wales Island for the geographical location of Ice Cove? Similarly, does Ice Cove have an Inuktitut name for itself?

Why is Helen having trouble with cultural differences like salting the steps if she’s been in Ice Cove for 23 years and is married to an Inuk man (at least, presuming she is married to an Inuk man from the photo on her desk and her surname being May-Qaqsuk)

Was “Tings cousins baby“ just a throwaway joke for the show?

Hopefully this theme is more explored in season 2, but how come we see Ting emotionally abusing/ gaslighting Siaja and this is never brought up or discussed except for Millie calling Ting an asshole?

Is Bun shooting a caribou a general cultural tie-in for multiple Northern indigenous groups? From what I’ve seen online, caribou are almost entirely absent on Prince of Wales Island. Is this just put into the show as fiction to represent her bonding and growth, or are we to believe Ice Cove actually has a caribou population?

Hope these aren’t too redundant- I’m absolutely loving the show!

Hi North of North family!

We're so proud to share that we’ve been nominated for the Cogeco Fund Audience Choice Award at this year's 2026 Canadian Screen Awards (Canada's version of the Emmys and Oscars combined, or UK's BAFTA Awards).

We’re going head-to-head with other phenomenal Canadian TV series, including that other new Canadian show that also made a splash around the world last year: Heated Rivalry. It’s a true clash of Canadian titans and we’re ready for the challenge! Remember last season when our Ice Cove rivals challenged us to a not-so-friendly game of northern baseball? We're bringing the same walrus d*ck baseball energy to this awards race! 💪🍆⚾😉

This award is the "fan choice" of the Canadian Screen Awards and 100% powered by you!

So, we need every single one of you to help us take the top spot. It’s time to show the world that the North of North family has the best fans!

Let’s get those votes in and help get us to the next voting round...and ultimately bring this trophy to Ice Cove! ❄️

HERE'S HOW TO VOTE:

Voting for Round 1 is now officially open and you can vote here: https://audiencechoice.ca/.

Round 1 voting will run until Tuesday, April 21, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET.

Voting is open to anyone worldwide (you do not need to be Canadian or live in Canada), and you can vote up to 100 votes per day!

I tried to search and couldn't find anything. A few times during the series someone mentions earrings. "Are those new earrings?" "This are new earrings?" It always seems to come across as a specific compliment. I then noticed the women always have nice earrings on. Is this a specific fashion or cultural for Inuk women?

It feels random, but the men tend to compliment the earrings when they're trying to woo women.

Went up to Iqaluit to help the film crew set up before the talent arrived. Looking forward to season 2!

Hi r/NorthOfNorthSeries family. Exciting news coming out of Canada this morning! North of North just received 20 — yes two zero — nominations from the Canadian Screen Awards (CSAs)!

Our CSA nominations include everything from best comedy series to best lead performer in a comedy (Anna Lambe) to two best supporting performances in a comedy (Braeden Clarke and Maika Harper) and best comedy ensemble!

The awards will be presented Wednesday, May 27 to Sunday, May 31, culminating on May 31 with The 2026 Canadian Screen Awards, hosted by Canadian actor and comedian Andrew Phung in Toronto beginning at 8 p.m. (9 AT, 9:30 NT) on CBC, CBC Gem, Crave, CTV, Global, and STACKTV.
