The latest trailer for Apple TV+’s new action thriller has Jason Clarke hunting down escaped criminals after a plane crash lands in the Alaskan wilderness. Hailing from the creator of The Blacklist and the director behind the Extraction franchise, a stacked creative team brings the goods in the explosive new footage.
Apple TV+ has unveiled the official trailer for The Last Frontier, which stars Clarke as Frank Remnick, a U.S. Marshal who must deal with the aftermath of a plane full of prisoners crashing in Alaska. However, this was no accident, as it is teased that it was orchestrated to secure the escape of a special masked prisoner. Whatever the case may be, audiences will unravel the conspiracy alongside Frank when The Last Frontier premieres on Apple TV+ on October 10, 2025. You can check out the trailer below.
In addition to Clarke, the cast of The Last Frontier features Dominic Cooper (The Gold), Haley Bennett (The Magnificent Seven), Simone Kessell (Yellowjackets), Dallas Goldtooth (Reservation Dogs), Tait Blum (For All Mankind), Clifton Collins Jr. (Eddington), and Alfre Woodard (See). The action-packed series was created by Jon Bokenkamp (The Blacklist) and Richard D’Ovidio (The Call), while Sam Hargrave (Extraction) directed the first and third episodes of the season. The official plot synopsis:
“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’ Was Inspired by 90s Action Films
If the general vibe of The Last Frontier reminded you of the thrillers that were released during the 1990s, that was the intention. During an interview with Esquire, series co-creator Jon Bokenkamp revealed that he ultimately wanted to tell a story that was “fun, escapist, not steeped in politics. Just a roller coaster of a ride.” He compared his vision with the Apple series to high-octane thrillers of the 90s, including Point Break and Enemy of the State.
“Those movies are sort of based on one concept: a train crashes, a fugitive escapes, a plane is hijacked. I think of movies like Point Break or Enemy of the State. Popcorn movies that an audience could come together and go on a ride. … Oftentimes it’s absurd and goes to places where it might not be totally grounded in reality, but that’s the fun of it.”
With Sam Hargrave at the helm, The Last Frontier opens with an explosive first episode full of action. As the very first teaser revealed, audiences will be treated to an anxiety-inducing sequence of the inciting incident, when a plane carrying 50 felons crash lands in the wilderness. Although Hargave only directed two of the 10 episodes present this season, it appears viewers should expect a thrill-ride that doesn’t let up, or take itself too seriously.
