Apple TV+ Has a Twisty New Crime Thriller From The Blacklist Creator
The 10-episode Alaska thriller follows U.S. Marshal Frank Remnick tracking escaped convicts while exploring espionage and covert operations in the snowy wilderness.
- On Friday, Oct. 10, Apple TV+ premiered two episodes of The Last Frontier, a ten-episode Alaska-set thriller created by Jon Bokenkamp and Richard D'Ovidio, starring Jason Clarke as U.S. Marshal Frank Remnick.
- After a fiery crash in Alaska's remote wilderness, the prison transport plane releases dozens of violent inmates, and U.S. Marshal Frank Remnick leads a manhunt uncovering a deliberate conspiracy.
- The production built ambitious action set pieces—the CGI plane crash, helicopter-versus-bus tug, and fights—shot in freezing Canada while Jason Clarke performed most stunts without a full 'Texas Switch'.
- Critics say the show drifts into camp and uneven plotting as the serialized espionage subplot centered on Haley Bennett's Sidney Scofield distracts from the central manhunt, causing many to lose patience soon.
- New episodes will drop every Friday through December 5, 2025, maintaining a weekly rollout on Apple TV+, which costs $12.99 per month and offers a 7-day free trial.
