The Last Frontier has aired its last (and only) season.
Apple TV+ has canceled the thriller series after one season, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Jason Clarke starred as Frank Remnick, the lone US marshal in charge of the barrens of Alaska who comes across conflict when a prison transport plane crashes, and a plethora of inmates are set free.
“Tasked with protecting the town he’s vowed to keep safe, [Remnick] begins to suspect the crash wasn’t an accident, but the first step of a well-crafted plan with far-reaching and devastating implications,” reads the logline for the series.
In The Hollywood Reporter‘s review of the series, Daniel Fienberg wrote that “in a television landscape absolutely parched for escapism, The Last Frontier sounds like a recipe for fun.”
“The only problem is that after a pilot that hints at dozens of ways that The Last Frontier could be an adrenalized thrill ride — a vaccination against the avalanche of self-important serial killer dramas forcing your friendly neighborhood television critic to consider Prozac — The Last Frontier turns out not to be very much fun at all,” Fienberg added. “It’s the very opposite of fast-moving, a lumbering and padded journey that stretches two hours of story across 10 hours bogged down in over-telegraphed twists, hollow military jargon and insufferable domestic melodrama, squandering most of the entertainment value of its premise and leaving most of its overqualified cast in the lurch.”
The show also starred Dominic Cooper, Haley Bennett, Simone Kessell, Dallas Goldtooth, Tait Blum and Alfre Woodard. Jon Bokenkamp and Richard D’Ovidio created The Last Frontier and served as an executive producer alongside director Sam Hargrave. Laura Benson, Glenn Kessler, Albert Kim and Clarke also executive produced.
Season one debuted on Apple TV+ on Oct. 10, and aired a total of 10 episodes.
