A PTN has renewed documentary series Yukon Harvest for a third season ahead of its season two premiere on the network and its streaming platform APTN lumi on June 10.

Season three (13 x 22 minutes) will go into production this summer and fall, with filming taking place around the Yukon, British Columbia, the Northwest Territories, Alberta and Saskatchewan, according to a press release.

Yukon Harvest is written and produced by Todd Forsbloom and Erik Virtanen of Duncan, B.C.-based Rogue River Films, with Jim Shockey as executive producer. Joella Hogan, Annette Harris-Carter, and Dallas Harris are associate producers on the series. Natalie Glubb is a co-writer and editor.

The series is produced with the support of APTN and the Canada Media Fund.

Yukon Harvest follows the personal journeys of Indigenous guides and hunters as they travel across the remote wilderness. Season three will feature new journeys and also follow guides and hunters back into their communities across Canada, said the release.

The first season earned three nominations for the 2022 Canadian Screen Awards, including Best Factual Series.

The series is also released under the title Dän K’eht’e and translated into Northern Tutchone, a language spoken by a limited number of Elders and community members in the Yukon communities of Mayo, Pelly Crossing, Stewart Crossing, Carmacks, and Beaver Creek, added the release.

The Northern Tutchone version of season two premieres Monday (June 5).
