After earning the largest audience to follow the first season of a CBC Television drama series in 15 years in its premiere season, CBC's blockbuster adventure drama,
ARCTIC AIR, takes off for a second season in January 2013.
Starring Adam Beach as Bobby Martin, Pascale Hutton as Krista Ivarson and Kevin McNulty as Mel, ARCTIC AIR is about the Yellowknife-based series about a maverick airline and the extended family of unconventional people who run it. This season the ARCTIC AIR crew will face exciting missions that involve fighting raging forest fires, attempting to defuse a bomb on a plane and fleeing hired killers in the bush.
Season Two picks up three months after the deadly crash that ended Season One, with physical and emotional repercussions having occurred for all the characters. The airline company continues to expand and grow under Bobby's leadership, but like any small business it is not without its challenges. Does Mel recover? Is Krista's engagement off with Blake? Does Bobby and Krista's relationship continue? It's a messy triangle that will only get more complicated as the season progresses. Hostility between Bobby and Dearman continues to simmer, made worse by the fact that Dearman is investing seriously in Yellowknife. Blake, Dev, Astrid, Petra, Connor, Hailey, Kirby, Caitlin, Nelson, Loreen and Cece will all struggle with difficult personal issues during the course of the season.
With the thrill of adventure pulsing through it, ARCTIC AIR is about community and family. It is about who we are and how we live, refracted through the unique dramatic prism of the Canadian north. It's a world of wild extremes and contrasts unlike anywhere else. ARCTIC AIR features the star power of Adam Beach (Cowboys and Aliens, Flags of our Fathers, Law & Order: SVU), Pascale Hutton (Fringe, Rookie Blue, Sanctuary) and Kevin McNulty (The Killing, End Game, Battle Star Galactica). ARCTIC AIR is created by Ian Weir and produced by Omni Film in development with CBC.
