North of North Season 2 Screening And Q&A In Winnipeg, MB

There was a genuine sense of excitement inside Winnipeg’s Park Theatre on September 14, 2026, as fans gathered for an exclusive screening of the second season of North of North. Hosted by CBC Manitoba’s Marjorie Dowhos and APTN’s Kim Sullivan, the sold-out event offered audiences a special opportunity to experience the hit APTN, CBC, and Netflix series on the big screen before hearing directly from the people who help bring it to life.

From the moment the evening began, it was clear this was more than simply a television screening. It was a celebration of a series that has connected with audiences through its humour, heart, and distinctly Northern Indigenous perspective.

Dowhos and Sullivan welcomed the packed house and outlined what promised to be an exciting evening: a special screening from the new season, followed by a Q&A featuring members of the cast and creative team, and ultimately a meet-and-greet.

The evening's centrepiece was episode five of season two. Watching North of North with a theatre full of enthusiastic fans gave the episode an added energy. The laughter and reactions from the audience reinforced just how much affection viewers have developed for the characters and the world the series has created in such a short time.

Once the episode concluded, Dowhos and Sullivan returned to the stage and welcomed North of North star Anna Lambe, who plays Siaja; Zorga Qaunaq, who plays Millie; co-creator and executive producer Alethea Arnaquq-Baril; and director Zoe Hopkins, who has directed multiple episodes of the second season.

What followed was an engaging discussion that lasted approximately forty minutes before the floor was opened to questions from the audience. The panel offered insight into the experience of creating the series, the characters they portray, the collaborative work that goes into producing North of North, and much more.

One of the early highlights came when Winnipeg actor Lewis Sinclair, who was attending the event, was invited onto the stage. Sinclair joined the panel to answer questions about his upcoming role in the series, giving the audience an additional glimpse at what is still to come from the show's expanding cast and story.

The Q&A also demonstrated the strong connection between the series and its audience. Rather than feeling like a standard promotional appearance, the conversation had the atmosphere of a community gathering, with fans getting the rare chance to hear directly from the performers and creators behind a show that has made such an impact.

At the heart of the evening was the opportunity to celebrate the people behind North of North. Arnaquq-Baril and Hopkins provided a behind-the-scenes perspective on the creative process, while Lambe, Qaunaq, and Sinclair offered the performers' perspective on bringing Siaja, Millie, and the rest of the show's characters to life.

After the Q&A, the evening concluded with a meet-and-greet, allowing fans to meet members of the North of North cast in person. For many in attendance, it was a fitting conclusion to a night built around bringing the show's audience and creative team together.

The September 14th screening at the Park Theatre succeeded because it felt personal. Audiences weren't simply given an advance look at a new episode; they were invited to celebrate the series alongside some of the people responsible for creating it.

With its sold-out crowd, enthusiastic reception and lively Q&A, the event served as a reminder of the special relationship North of North has established with its viewers. The combination of an exclusive season-two screening, candid conversation, and an opportunity to meet the cast made for an evening that felt both celebratory and intimate.

For fans of North of North, it was an opportunity to see where the story is headed. For everyone involved, it was a chance to celebrate how far the series has come—and the community that continues to embrace it worldwide.
