A strong return for North of North
The second season of North of North has earned a 100% Tomatometer score, repeating the first season’s result. The show’s debut season also received a 78% audience score.
The series first premiered in 2025 and is available on CBC Television, the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network, and Netflix. Its second season’s matching critic score gives the comedy a rare two-season record on Rotten Tomatoes.
Stories rooted in Nunavut
Set in Ice Cove, Nunavut, the show centers on Siaja Kudlak, played by Anna Lambe. Siaja is a young single mother navigating a public divorce, starting a new job, and moving back in with her mother, Neevee, portrayed by Maika Harper.
Created by Stacey Aglok MacDonald and Alethea Arnaquq-Baril, North of North foregrounds Inuit culture and representation. Its cast includes performers of Indigenous Inuk heritage, alongside Mary Lynn Rajskub and Jay Ryan.
