In modern-day Oakland, people of color are becoming as rare as polar bears in the arctic. That’s the idea behind “The North Pole,” the stylish and hilarious web series from the Oakland-based duo of Yvan Iturriaga and Josh Healey, who direct and write along with co-writers Reyna Amaya and Donte Clark. Set in North Oakland, California, from which the series takes its name, “The North Pole” follows three friends as they struggle to stay afloat amidst a rapidly changing neighborhood. In the Season 2 trailer, debuting exclusively below, executive producer Rosario Dawson plays an immigration lawyer with a comically pragmatic attitude.

Gentrification is a difficult and complicated force, and its effects are under examination in a new web series that features a sharp and snappy tone. The North Pole, written by Josh Healey and directed by Yvan Iturriaga, is a comedy that follows three friends who are adapting to the changing face of their neighborhood.
The North Pole's title refers to a local name for North Oakland, which in recent years has undergone significant gentrification. The protagonists of the show, Nina, Marcus, and Benny, have spent their lives in the area, and as they cope with new conditions around them, they crack jokes, have some fun at the expense of new arrivals, share observations about their home territory, and come up with clever schemes. The first episode is styled as a safari through North Oakland, with Nina, Marcus, and Benny equating the neighborhood's characters to wild animals.
