Anna Lambe returns as Siaja, a young Inuk mother navigating the public ramifications of her breakup. The season also features Maika Harper, Braeden Clarke, Jay Ryan, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Zorga Qaunaq, Bailey Poching, Nutaaq Doreen Simmonds, and Kiera Cooper.
A synopsis for the second season reads:
"Winter is settling over Ice Cove, and Siaja (Lambe) 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 pilimmaksarniq — the Inuktitut concept of mastering skills through observation, practice, and effort — Siaja is ready to put in the work."
North of North is a standout show, and you should definitely check it out. Stay tuned to Collider for more.
