In developing 91裸聊视频淣orth of North,91裸聊视频� a new Inuk comedy co-produced by Netflix and CBC in partnership with APTN, the creators made one thing clear: it had to be 91裸聊视频渁 horny show.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淪o often Indigenous women don91裸聊视频檛 have any bodily autonomy in shows and aren91裸聊视频檛 allowed to enjoy sex. They91裸聊视频檙e often victims of it,91裸聊视频� said Nunavut-born co-creator Stacey Aglok MacDonald during an interview last month in Toronto.

91裸聊视频淲e really wanted to show Inuit women and Indigenous women being in control of their bodies, having feelings and wanting romance and wanting sex and all of that stuff.91裸聊视频�

Turning to star Anna Lambe and co-creator Alethea Arnaquq-Baril, who were sitting beside her at the CBC headquarters, she added: 91裸聊视频淚t also felt real to us, and we91裸聊视频檙e all about authenticity.91裸聊视频�

The three burst into laughter, somewhat delirious from the long day of promoting the show. MacDonald quipped that the endless parade of journalists shuffling in and out of the junket room left them feeling 91裸聊视频渓ike we91裸聊视频檙e in a brothel,91裸聊视频� drawing another round of chuckles.

91裸聊视频淣orth of North91裸聊视频� follows Lambe91裸聊视频檚 Siaja, a young Inuk mother who craves more than the predictable life she91裸聊视频檚 been living in Ice Cove, a tight-knit Arctic town. After a spectacularly public exit from her stagnant marriage to the self-absorbed Ting, played by Kelly William, she finds herself back at square one. Crashing with her mom Neevee, portrayed by Maika Harper, she navigates single motherhood, a new job and the dating world 91裸聊视频� all while trying to figure out what she really wants from life.

The half-hour series, which was shot in and around Iqaluit in the spring of 2024, premieres Tuesday on CBC and APTN.

Lambe, who is Inuk and was born in Nunavut, said she hopes Siaja breaks stereotypes of Indigenous women being 91裸聊视频渧ictims of our circumstances.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淭o have a character who is so actively determined to chase what she wants and to reach a new level in her life that she can look back on and be proud of, I hope is something that a lot of Indigenous women feel seen by and that, more importantly, non-Indigenous people can look at and be like, 91裸聊视频楢h! It does exist,91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频� said the 24-year-old.

91裸聊视频淚 know so many women like that and that91裸聊视频檚 who I look up to. Like anybody else, we have dreams.91裸聊视频�

MacDonald and Arnaquq-Baril previously collaborated on 2018 drama 91裸聊视频淭he Grizzlies,91裸聊视频� which also marked Lambe91裸聊视频檚 acting debut.

Arnaquq-Baril said working on that film, based on the true story of a youth lacrosse team created to address a wave of suicides in Kugluktuk, Nunavut, was powerful but 91裸聊视频渆motionally taxing,91裸聊视频� and they were ready to do something more lighthearted.

91裸聊视频淲e just wanted to pivot a little bit and rest our hearts and do something that was full of joy and laughter,91裸聊视频� she said.

CBC greenlit the series in 2021 but eventually sought production partners so the story could be told with the scope and scale it called for. On top of capturing Iqaluit91裸聊视频檚 sweeping vistas of frozen tundra, the show features many local community members as background actors, as well as artwork, garments and artifacts by local artisans and designers.

91裸聊视频淭o be authentic it had to be shot in Iqaluit, and we wanted it to be, but there91裸聊视频檚 many costs that come with that that make it more expensive,91裸聊视频� said Sally Catto, CBC91裸聊视频檚 general manager of entertainment, factual and sports.

MacDonald described it as 91裸聊视频渟erendipitous91裸聊视频� that they were pitching the 91裸聊视频淣orth of North91裸聊视频� pilot right as Netflix opened its Canadian production office in 2023.

91裸聊视频淭hey just happened to be starting to look for their first Canadian projects and we were just like, 91裸聊视频淲hat better project than an arctic comedy?91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频�

The streaming giant also ordered 91裸聊视频淭all Pines,91裸聊视频� a thriller series by Toronto comedian Mae Martin, around the same time.

91裸聊视频淣orth of North91裸聊视频� will premiere globally on Netflix this spring.

Arnaquq-Baril said she and MacDonald wanted an international audience for 91裸聊视频淣orth of North91裸聊视频� from the very beginning.

91裸聊视频淭he way the world has seen us has been so far in history 91裸聊视频� like we don91裸聊视频檛 exist anymore,91裸聊视频� she said.

91裸聊视频淪o we were ambitious for the story to be seen on the global stage so that we could shift the way the world sees us.91裸聊视频�

She wants audiences to see that Indigenous women aren91裸聊视频檛 frozen in time, but are connected to the wider world, with their own hopes, dreams and yes, carnal desires.

MacDonald teased that the series will have some 91裸聊视频渢wisted and sexy91裸聊视频� moments.

91裸聊视频淚t looks cute, but it91裸聊视频檚 just a trick,91裸聊视频� she laughed, referring to the show91裸聊视频檚 promotional photos featuring Lambe donning fur-lined parkas in front of snowy mountains.

Lambe joked that she will have to walk around Iqaluit with her hood up after the season airs, thanks to the show91裸聊视频檚 steamy scenes.
