Apple TV cancels ‘The Last Frontier’ after one season

Apple TV’s drama series “The Last Frontier” premiered globally October 10, 2025.

Apple TV has canceled the thriller series “The Last Frontier” after one season. The series hailed from co-creators Jon Bokenkamp (“The Blacklist”) and Richard D’Ovidio (“The Call”).

The show starred Jason Clarke as Frank Remnick, who is described as “the lone U.S. marshal in charge of the quiet, rugged barrens of Alaska. Remnick’s jurisdiction is turned upside down when a prison transport plane crashes in the remote wilderness, setting free dozens of violent inmates. Tasked with protecting the town he’s vowed to keep safe, he begins to suspect the crash wasn’t an accident, but the first step of a well-crafted plan with far-reaching and devastating implications.”

In addition to Clarke, the ensemble cast included Dominic Cooper (“The Gold”), Haley Bennett (“The Magnificent Seven”), Simone Kessell (“Yellowjackets”), Dallas Goldtooth (“Reservation Dogs”), and Tait Blum (“For All Mankind”), with Academy Award Nominee and multi-Emmy Award winner Alfre Woodard (“Clemency”).

Selome Hailu for Variety:
‎

“The Last Frontier” received mixed reviews from critics, achieving a 46% on Rotten Tomatoes. Variety‘s review said that after “an entertaining bait-and-switch” in the first episode, the show “gets bogged down in a serialized plot that’s more convoluted and generic than the simple pleasures of maniacs running amok and small-town cops chasing them down.”
“The Last Frontier” premiered on Oct. 10, with the Season 1 finale coming on Dec. 5. In an interview with Variety after the finale, Bokenkamp and D’Ovidio said they were already discusing ideas for a potential second season, including a change of location.

‎
MacDailyNews Take: We liked “The Last Frontier” (which is currently a respectable 5th among the top 10 shows on Apple TV), so we’re sorry to see it go, especially the way it ends: setting up a second season with a lot of unanswered questions.
