Looking for something to watch? Another Indigenous television show is coming to Netflix.

A new Indigenous sitcom called “North of North” is premiering on CBC Television and will follow the life of a young Inuk mother.

Set in the heart of the artic, “North of North” follows Siaja, a fictional character living in small town with realistic small-town drama.

“I am a modern Inuk woman,” Siaja narrates in the show’s two-minute trailer. “I got married out of high school, started a family and now he’s the town golden boy and I’m… his wife.”

She realizes without her husband she has no car, home or money and decides to reset her life and find herself with the help of her community.

The show follows her around her small artic town filled with Indigenous characters and traditions. One of Siaja’s relatives has the traditional face tattoos of Inuit culture. Most of the characters wear Tribal-patterned clothing, traditional furs to stay warm and lots of beaded earrings.

The trailer shows her landing a job that can help her community and allow her to be her unique self. 

“Every community need a special person like you to bring the generations together,” a character says in the trailer.

The show is now available on Canadian channels but will be made available on Netflix in the spring of 2025.
