Netflix’s 2025 lineup has unfolded like a tapestry of wonder, weaving together stories that surprise, stir, and stay. Yet through it all, Bridgerton remains the crown jewel—an opulent symphony of romance, resplendent costumes, and daring charm. With each season, it deepens its enchantment, becoming not just a series but a sensation. Though Season 3 danced past the Emmys’ window, its legacy glows ever bright. And while Season 4 waits in the wings... something exquisite has arrived. Something Bridgerton souls may not resist.

A vibrant new Netflix series starring Jay Ryan hit the platform this month, echoing Bridgerton’s colorful charm—yet it soared past expectations, even doubling Bridgerton’s Rotten Tomatoes score with its captivating flair and storytelling.

Netflix’s debut Canadian original, North of North, flips the script on Arctic storytelling. Forget dark, isolated tundras—this series bathes in spring's bright, freeing light. Picture parkas with vibrant florals, boots adorned with unique beaded jewellery (yes, they had a separate earring budget!), all sprinkled with a touch of Bridgerton-esque charm. With its 100% Rotten Tomatoes score, the show bursts with fresh energy, reflected in both the characters’ lively wardrobes and sparkling dialogue. Anna Lambe shines, stepping away from her serious True Detective role into something fun, fabulous, and full of life.

Siaja, an awkward dreamer, is stuck in a lacklustre marriage to the oblivious local hero, Ting. After a near-drowning experience and a mystical encounter, she decides to take charge of her life. Cue a wildly impulsive kiss with a stranger, who turns out to be her estranged father! Set in the quirky town of Ice Cove, Siaja’s journey is a delightful blend of humor, self-discovery, and small-town chaos. With North of North embracing Inuit culture, Anna Lambe candidly shared her transformative experience.

Among the standout shows of 2025, North of North takes center stage, immersing viewers in Inuit culture. Anna Lambe’s candid reflections bring a refreshing, authentic twist, forging a deep connection between the audience and tradition.

Anna Lambe, who grew up in Iqaluit—the very backdrop of North of North—calls the show’s success “special,” as per CinemaBlend, as it finally gave the world a chance to see her homeland through her eyes. The warmth, quirks, laughter, and even the pain woven into northern life are rarely shown on screen. Unlike Netflix’s earlier cultural gems like Never Have I Ever or The Most Beautiful Flower, this series dives into Inuit life with heart. As Anna Lambe said, “Everybody sees what I see now.”

Though North of North spins like a sitcom on a joyride, its heart beats with real community spirit and cultural pride. Filming in Anna Lambe’s hometown only deepened that authenticity, much like how The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air mirrored Will Smith’s Philadelphia roots. While Netflix has yet to greenlight a second season (and let us be real, their track record is unpredictable), the show’s warmth, wit, and Bridgerton-level charm may just woo fans enough to demand more. Fingers crossed for another delightful return northward.
