Apple TV+ unveils new crime thriller from creator of The Blacklist

Apple TV+ has a huge fall lineup ahead, including the return of one of its best shows next week. Over the coming weeks, Apple TV+ has several brand new crime thriller series debuting, and one of them—The Last Frontier—just got its first trailer.

The Last Frontier puts dozens of violent inmates on the loose, with Jason Clarke as lone U.S. marshal

If you’re a fan of crime thrillers, Apple TV+ has a lot of new offerings coming soon, including Jessica Chastain’s The Savant next week, and Down Cemetery Road from the Slow Horses author next month. In between the two series is The Last Frontier.

The Last Frontier premieres Friday, October 10 on Apple TV+ with its first two episodes, followed by weekly releases through December 5.

The original series hails from co-creators Jon Bokenkamp and Richard D’Ovidio. Bokenkamp is best known for creating hit NBC show The Blacklist starring James Spader.

Here’s Apple’s official summary of the new series:

“The Last Frontier” follows Frank Remnick (Clarke), 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.

Today Apple released the trailer for The Last Frontier, which reveals a lot of intrigue and mystery surrounding the plane crash and the significance of Jason Clarke’s character being at the center of it.

As someone who watched and enjoyed The Blacklist, The Last Frontier seems to offer many similar elements to that popular series. The heavy emphasis on criminals and law enforcement, combined with a plot that’s always throwing new reveals at you, could prove a similarly fun watch.

Do you plan to watch The Last Frontier when it hits Apple TV+? Let us know in the comments.

Apple TV+ is available for $12.99 per month and features hit TV shows and movies like Ted LassoSeveranceThe Morning ShowSilo, and Shrinking.
