An Indigenous Canadian comedy series called “North Of North” will launch globally on Netflix this coming spring.

The show began streaming in Canada on CBC last month and was filmed in Iqaluit, Nunavut.

The series stars Inuk actor Anna Lambe (“True Detective,” “Trickster,” “The Grizzlies”) as the lead character Siaja, a young Inuk woman who dreams of reinventing herself in her tiny Arctic community of Ice Cove, a town where everybody knows your business.

After a spontaneous — and extremely public — exit from her marriage, Siaja finds herself navigating the unpredictable, and often hilarious, highs and lows that come with relationships, motherhood, a new job and finding your way.

“North Of North” was created, executive produced and written by Inuk writer and producer Stacey Aglok MacDonald (“Qanurli,” “The Grizzlies”) and Inuk filmmaker Alethea Arnaquq-Baril (“Angry Inuk,” “The Grizzlies”) and executive produced by Miranda de Pencier (“Anne with an E,” “Beginners,” “The Grizzlies”).
