Will ‘North of North’ return for a third season?
No matter how much Netflix users dread the wait between seasons, nothing comes close to the anxiety of waiting for renewals. So, even though a day or two ago fans were ecstatic about the return of the Arctic comedy North of North, they’re now at a loss for direction.
The hit Netflix comedy returned just in time for winter, with young Inuk mother Siaja back in the spotlight. In the second season, she approaches everything with newfound enthusiasm in hopes of levelling up her life from every direction. In addition to convincing her boss to trust her with more, she puts in more hard work for her community, dives back into the dating scene, takes care of her domestic and motherly duties, and learns more about the half-sister she never knew existed.
In short, Siaja truly believes the best has yet to come, and the second season of North of North might just be it. But now that the season is done and dusted, the burning question is: will it return for more?
Well, Netflix hasn’t officially renewed North of North for a third season. But that’s not too surprising, given the Arctic comedy just returned on November 5th. The streaming giant typically gauges a few non-negotiable metrics, including total viewership data and completion rates, before formally announcing a renewal or cancellation. So, the silence is honestly standard.
Of course, Netflix turns to rapid renewals in exceptional cases. But it usually takes weeks, if not months, for the streaming mogul to address returning and cancelled shows. The good news is North of North was never really conceived as a limited series, and history suggests the door remains somewhat open for future explorations.
Plus, in a recent conversation with TV Insider, Anna Lambe said, “You know, I think in season three, you know, season two, Siaja goes about trying to solve problems and trying to tackle things in a very CIA way, which is very impulsively and very kind of like jump first, think second.”
“And I would love in a season three to see what it means to Siaja to be a bit more thoughtful and considerate with something as sensitive as reconnecting this relationship between her mother and her sister. And what does it mean to, um, create that kind of space.”
Although Lambe’s words may not definitively suggest a confirmation of a third season of North of North, they do ignite hope. But since we have to wait on an official nod, it’s best to check back later for more information.
