Ice Lake Rebels, the reality TV show portraying Yellowknife houseboaters as “survivalists” who “hunt for food” and “protect their turf,” has been picked up for a second season by the U.S. television network Animal Planet.
Executive producer Kathryn Haydn-Hays confirmed this in an email to me from California, then asked what her chances are of getting my husband to agree to be a houseboater on the show? This is telling, because we don’t live anywhere near the houseboats.

I like Kathryn. I met her a couple years back when she hired me as casting producer for what was then billed as a docu-drama about people who live in remote sub-Arctic settings, unconnected to the power grid, preferably making their living with animals. I found her honest and professional. After making some calls, meeting a few potential candidates, and introducing them to her, my involvement in the show ended.
Gradually, for logistical reasons and presumably at the behest of her funders, the focus of the series narrowed down to strictly houseboaters. Problem is, with the exception of t

If you’ve been a steadfast fan of the cinematically rich reality show Ice Lake Rebels over the past two seasons, you will be disappointed to discover that it hasn’t been renewed for a third. If you’re a real-life houseboater in Yellowknife, you’re probably relieved.
The series “follows a handful of renegade houseboaters as they hunt for food, drill for water, trade for necessities and protect their turf,” on the lawless and pristine Great Slave Lake, according to specialty channel Animal Planet, which hosted 19 episodes before quietly dropping the show.
Judging by the overwhelming response from Americans to my last story on the series – which pointed out that, absolutely, there are houseboaters living an extreme lifestyle on a frozen lake in the sub-Arctic; but no, they are not bad-ass survivalists dependent on foraging wild food – some further clarification might be useful.
