Angel Entertainment is proud to announce that principal photography has begun on Season Two of Searchers, the acclaimed half-hour documentary series airing on APTN.

Filming is currently underway in scenic Saskatchewan locations including Pike Lake, Nisbet Forest, Poplar Bluffs, and St. Volodymyr. The series continues to honour the vital work of Indigenous communities by sharing powerful stories of rescue missions—bringing viewers into the suspenseful journey from the first emergency call to the dramatic outcome. Through cinematic re-creations and firsthand interviews with searchers, families, and survivors, Searchers offers an immersive look at each unique rescue.

The film industry remains a vital driver of Saskatchewan’s economic growth. Productions like Searchers generate jobs, stimulate local spending, and attract external investment, all while celebrating the province’s unique talent and stories.

“Creative Saskatchewan is proud to support Searchers with a commitment of $526,314 through our Feature Film and Television Production Grant,” said Erin Dean, CEO of Creative Saskatchewan. “This investment is projected to generate $1.7 million in economic impact and create nearly 200 jobs—delivering a return of $3.32 for every dollar spent. It’s a testament to the strength and value of Saskatchewan’s screen-based industries.”

“We’re thrilled to be back filming Season Two of Searchers,” said Wally Start, President & Executive Producer at Angel Entertainment. “This series shines a light on the extraordinary efforts of Indigenous communities who dedicate themselves to search and rescue. Their stories deserve to be seen and heard.”

Season Two of Searchers is expected to premiere on APTN in 2026.
