‘North of North’ Premieres on CBC, Scored by Caleb and Brian Chan

North of North, a heartfelt new comedy series from CBC scored by Caleb and Brian Chan and featuring a talented cast of Indigenous actors, premieres on CBC on January 7, 2025. The 8-episode series is set in a charming, fictional Arctic town and captures the beauty of the Arctic while offering a glimpse into life in remote northern communities. 

North of North stars Siaja (Anna Lambe) as a young Inuk mom who suddenly — and very publicly — ends her marriage to the town golden boy, Ting (Kelly William). She struggles to build a new life for herself and her daughter Bun (Keira Belle Cooper) in the tight-knit community of Ice Cove where everyone knows each other's business. With housing and jobs in short supply, Siaja crashes on her single mom Neevee's (Maika Harper) couch while she lobbies for a job at the local community centre, run by the sometimes difficult but well-meaning Helen (Mary Lynn Rajskub). Life gets even more complicated when Alistair (Jay Ryan), a handsome stranger with a shocking past, arrives with his sweet and attractive assistant, Kuuk (Braeden Clarke). (Source: CBC)

Caleb and Brian’s lighthearted score can be heard in the pilot episode, which premieres January 7, 2025 on CBC and CBC Gem. The series will release new episodes weekly, and Caleb and Brian’s original music can be heard again beginning with episode 5.

The series is produced by Red Marrow Media and Northwood Entertainment and co-commissioned by CBC and Netflix in association with APTN. It will be available on Netflix later this year.
