Rewatching 'Bering Sea Gold' recently, I marveled at how reality TV mines drama from Nome's gold dredgers. The show's dredges chewing through frozen coastline capture a grittier side of frontier life than most scripted fare. It's all frostbite and faulty machinery, with the Beaufort Sea looming like a hungry spectator.
'Northern Exposure' was my gateway into Arctic-set shows, though technically it's set in fictional Cicely, Alaska. The quirky townsfolk battling moose and midnight sun taught me how TV can turn remoteness into charm. Later discoveries like 'Life Below Zero' documentary series raw footage of hunters tracking caribou across the Brooks Range made me appreciate unscripted survival narratives where the tundra dictates every scene.
I got hooked on 'Dark Winds' when its supernatural crime plot led detectives into Barrow's polar night. The way director used auroras as eerie crime scene lighting made the location feel alien yet sacred. Made me research other indigenous-led productions set above the Arctic Circle—there should be way more.
BBC's 'Frozen Planet' documentary segments on Alaska's North Slope spoiled me for nature footage. When their cameras followed muskox herds through snowdrifts near Prudhoe Bay, I finally understood why filmmakers brave −60°F temperatures. That slow-motion blizzard sequence lives rent-free in my head.
Ever since I stumbled upon 'The Terror' while scrolling through historical dramas, I've been fascinated by how Northern Alaska's brutal landscapes become characters themselves in TV shows. That series, blending horror with real-life Franklin Expedition tragedy, uses the icy desolation to amplify the crew's isolation and desperation. The endless white voids and cracking ice sheets aren't just backdrops—they're existential threats.
Then there's 'Alaska Daily', where Anchorage's urban edges meet rural wilderness. While not entirely set in the far north, its episodes venturing into indigenous communities showcase how modern life clashes with traditional survival in places like Utqiagvik. The way blizzards swallow whole storylines in that show makes me reach for blankets even in summer.

When he brings news of the Northern Alpha King hosting a ball to pick his Luna of the North, I know my chances are slim and didn't want to go. But my uncle Storm charges me to act as a spy for him. Gather Intel on the runnings of the Northern Pack and bring to him.
Failure to do so?
He'll have my head.
When I meet Alpha King Elijah Lahiz, King of the North under weird circumstances, the mate bond snaps into place, and we're bonded to each other. However, after a night of passion, Elijah acts like I don't exist and picks my best friend, Raya as his Luna.
Distraught and feeling betrayed, I run away to the South and into the patient arms of the Southern King Jeremiah, to escape my uncle's wrath. Jeremiah propositions an alliance to take down both my uncle and Elijah.
But there's a problem. A huge one, really.
I'm carrying Alpha Elijah's child.
Everything North Campbell believes about her life is a lie. She doesn't discover that until the night her father dies, and she learns he wasn't her father. He kidnapped her as a baby from her birth parents, Jim and Carol Allis. They seem ecstatic to find her, but she quickly learns they, along with their powerful dragon-shifter ally Pytor Douglas, have nefarious plans for her.
She runs straight into the arms of another mysterious group, and they tell her she's a Trueblood—descended from all the mythic races and capable of great power. She's at risk, but the Council assigns her six bodyguards, and the Oracle has seen her future husband is among the six.
North is dragged from realm to realm to learn how to use her powers. That task seems impossible—almost as impossible as choosing just one man from among the six mythics entrusted with her protection. How can she choose between a vampire, an angel, a demon, a witch, a dark elf, and a wolf-shifter when each of the men is perfect for her in different ways? Dare she risk everything and choose them all? Will she have a chance to make the decision, or will Pytor's group get her first?

***Excerpt***
"My breath just made you quiver," He leaned closer so that I could almost taste his breath, "...Then imagine what my tongue would do."
"I warned you not to play with fire if you are afraid of flames," He added, his voice hoarse with need.
My plump lips parted in response, "I am not afraid to burn for what I love." I had just stirred something in him that had lay dormant all his life.
"Then so be it... Princess."

The fate of Luxuria, who was set to marry the love of her life, Kahel, takes a drastic turn when she finds out she was mated to this cursed Alpha, whom she dreaded with her life.

Northern Alaska's stark, breathtaking landscapes have been the backdrop for some unforgettable films. One that immediately comes to mind is 'The Grey,' with Liam Neeson leading a group of plane crash survivors through the brutal wilderness. The endless snow and isolation amplified the tension perfectly. Another standout is 'Insomnia,' where the perpetual daylight messed with Al Pacino's character just as much as the murder case.
Then there's '30 Days of Night,' a horror flick that turned the region's month-long darkness into a vampire's playground. The setting wasn't just background—it was practically the antagonist. Even documentaries like 'Alaska: Spirit of the Wild' showcase the raw beauty that draws filmmakers. There's something about that untamed frontier that makes stories feel larger than life.
Living near one of the places called Delta County has turned me into an accidental location-spotter — there are at least a few counties with that name across the U.S., and what films there varies a lot. For the Delta County in Colorado, most of what I’ve seen are travel features, nature documentaries, and regional commercials taking advantage of the sweeping landscapes and old mining towns. National newsmagazines and true-crime shows like 'Dateline' sometimes roll through for human-interest or crime segments; they don’t always call it out as the county name in promos, but locals recognize the storefronts and road signs when episodes air.
Out in the Midwest, in Delta County, Michigan, crews tend to be smaller: indie films, short-run reality spots, and occasional episodes of collectors-and-antique shows — think along the lines of 'American Pickers' or similar history-and-collectibles programs that love small-town salvage shops. I’ve also seen documentary teams charting agricultural life, plus a couple of streaming docuseries crews one autumn. Larger scripted network dramas rarely set base there, but they’ll occasionally use local farms or downtown facades for single-episode shoots.
If you’re curious about a specific show, film commission logs and IMDb’s filming locations are where I go, but it’s fun to catch a production notice on the county Facebook page or a local coffee shop bulletin board. Seeing a road blocked off and a film truck parked outside the diner still makes me grin — Delta County has a quiet charm that translates well on camera.
