TORONTO — Blue Ant Media announced today Cottage Life’s hit series Life Below Zero: Canada is returning for a second season beginning Tuesday, March 22 at 9 p.m. ET/PT during the channel’s eight-week nationwide free preview event.
Based on the Life Below Zero format created and produced by BBC Studios’ Los Angeles production arm, the second installment of the Canadian adaptation is a co-production between Saloon Media, a Blue Ant Media company, and Quebecor Content in partnership with APTN.
“Filmed across the Northwest Territories, Yukon, Northern Ontario and Nunavik in Northern Quebec in bone-chilling -51° C weather conditions, Life Below Zero: Canada Season 2 gives viewers unfiltered access into the day-to-day lives of Canadians who live off-the-grid in some of the most unforgiving and coldest regions on Earth,” reads a synopsis in a Blue Ant Media press release.
Season one of Life Below Zero: Canada ranked as the best-performing original series ever for Cottage Life, according to the press release.
The second season sees the return of Becky Broderick, Bentley Kakekayash, Kim Pasche and Pierre-Yves Duc and the introduction of newcomer Jonathan Grenier (pictured above) from Kuujjuaq, Nunavik in northern Quebec. Grenier is “a man of mixed Inuit and French Canadian heritage and a father of two who is determined to teach his sons how to live off the land in a traditional Inuit way,” the release says.
Each episode of the series (8 x 60’) follows the hardships of this diverse group of characters and “chronicles their individual journeys as they use traditional survival practices and find ingenious ways of adapting to their extreme environment.”
