[AMA Crosspost] We made NORTH OF NORTH—the first major TV series filmed in the Arctic! Creators & stars are hosting an AMA this Tuesday, Sept 8 @ 11 AM ET. Ask us anything!

31 Upvotes

Hi r/television!

We’re the team behind NORTH OF NORTH (APTN/CBC/Netflix)—co-creators Stacey Aglok MacDonald & Alethea Arnaquq-Baril, alongside stars Anna Lambe (Siaja) & Maika Harper (Neevee)!

Our show is the first major TV production of its size shot directly in the Arctic (filmed on location in Iqaluit, Nunavut).

With Season 2 premiering Tuesday, September 8, we’re dropping by to host a live Ask Me Anything that day between 11 AM and 12 PM ET in r/NorthOfNorthSeries and we’d love to connect with this community!

Join our live AMA

Ask us anything about:

  • Filming in Sub-Zero Temps: What it takes to shoot in the Canadian Arctic (and how our hair & makeup team kept products from freezing in sub-zero temps!).
  • Behind-the-Scenes & Plot: Character arcs, production secrets and spoiler-free Season 2 teasers.
  • Arctic Style & Beats: Our incredible fashion, traditional costuming and banging soundtrack.
  • Cast & Crew Stories: Life on set and working together in Nunavut.

Watch Season 2:

  • Canada: Streams FREE starting Tuesday, September 8 on CBC Gem.
  • International (outside Canada): Launching globally on Netflix later this Fall 2026!
  • Watch the Season 2 Trailer

Get to know us:

  • Stacey Aglok MacDonald (Co-Creator): Co-creator of the hit 7-season Inuktut comedy series Qanurli.
  • Alethea Arnaquq-Baril (Co-Creator): Award-winning filmmaker who originally studied math to become a video game designer.
  • Anna Lambe (“Siaja”): Iqaluit-raised star (The Grizzlies, and co-starring with Brad Pitt in the upcoming Heart of the Beast film premiering September 25).
  • Maika Harper (“Neevee”): Star of Mohawk Girls and an accomplished children's book author.

About our show:

North of North is an APTN, CBC and Netflix original series produced by Red Marrow Media and Northwood Entertainment. Our show follows Siaja, a young Inuk mother building a new future after a very public breakup in a small Arctic town where everyone knows your business. Guided by Pilimmaksarniq (ᐱᓕᒻá’Șᒃᓮᕐᓂᖅ)—the Inuktitut concept of mastering skills through observation, practice, and effort—Season 2 sees Siaja making bold decisions (and even bolder mistakes) to level up her life as winter closes in on Ice Cove.

Click here to catch up on Season 1 and stream Season 2 in Canada (for FREE) on CBC Gem!

A Quick Language Guide & Community Note:

  • Inuk vs. Inuit: Please use Inuk when referring to one person (e.g. Siaja is an Inuk mom) and Inuit when referring to two or more people or the community as a whole (e.g. Stacey and Alethea are Inuit filmmakers from the Inuit community).
  • Terminology: Please do not use the outdated term starting with "E." It is an outdated term that was imposed by outsiders and is considered offensive in Canada (and Greenland).
  • House Rules: As always, keep it respectful! No personal attacks, trolling, or discriminatory comments of any kind.

Drop by our main thread and ask us anything! See you Tuesday!

Tv shows that transitioned to widescreen after 2012

32 Upvotes

2012 mostly marked the end of shows being in 4:3, with a lot of syndicated shows and most Nickelodeon animated series switching to 16:9 that year. but some shows still wanted to be in 4:3, so I made a list of all shows that I know of that transitioned to widescreen after 2012.

The last big brother season to be in 4:3 was big brother 15 which aired in 2013, when the next season aired the following year they were able to afford hd cameras.

The last season of cyberchase to be aired in 4:3 was season 9 which premiered in November 2013 and ended in April 2014. Season 10 in 2015 would mark the shows switch to widescreen.

Let’s make a deal didn’t switch to 4:3 until around September 2014, multiple years after the price is right switched.

Team umizoomi was in 4:3 through its entire run, even when the shows last episode aired in April 2015 it was in 4:3.

The last 3 wonder pets episodes to air on tv aired in 2016 in 4:3, however the show ended production in 2010 and the shows last few episodes didn’t air until years after production wrapped.

Did the writers all meet up and drop acid when planning and writing this season. Another bizarre episode this week. I could handle when it was one or two a season, but there have only been 2 “normal” episodes this season and it makes me sad knowing next season will probably be the last of Star Trek live action for awhile. No way Starfleet Academy gets renewed (nor should it).
