New Apple TV+ crime thriller puts dozens of violent inmates on the loose

Crime thrillers look like a big part of the Apple TV+ fall lineup, as the streamer just unveiled a release date and teaser for The Last Frontier, starring Jason Clarke. Here are all the details.

The Last Frontier stars Jason Clarke as U.S. marshal when violent inmates suddenly arrive

Yesterday Apple TV+ announced a new crime thriller, The Savant, wherein Jessica Chastain hunts down domestic extremists in online hate groups.

Now today, we get another very different sort of crime thriller in The Last Frontier. Jason Clarke’s new show kicks off with a plane crash that sets dozens of violent inmates free.

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

The show hails from co-creators Jon Bokenkamp (“The Blacklist”) and Richard D’Ovidio (“The Call”).

Apple TV+ teaser for The Last Frontier

Here’s Apple’s series summary and a teaser:

“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.

The Last Frontier looks like another compelling new show added to the strong Apple TV+ fall lineup, and there’s likely plenty more yet to be announced which we’ll hear about soon.
