The fight to save Fairbanks is on. Watch the first two episodes of The Last Frontier streaming October 10 on Apple TV+ https://apple.co/_TheLastFrontier_

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.

In addition to Clarke, the ensemble cast includes 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 winner Alfre Woodard (“Clemency”).

Hailing from Apple Studios, The Last Frontier is executive produced by Bokenkamp and D’Ovidio, who also serve as writers, alongside Clarke, Laura Benson (“The Big C”), Glenn Kessler (“Bloodlines”), Albert Kim (“Nikita”), and series episodic director Sam Hargrave (“Extraction”).

00:00Everyone circle up!
00:02We have a downed plane big enough to see about 100 detainees.
00:05These are federal inmates.
00:07Armed, violent, and dangerous.
00:09Stay safe until the cavalry gets there.
00:14Honey, we are the cavalry.
00:17The Last Frontier is a love letter to action films of the 90s.
00:21It's character-driven with a lot of action.
00:24Come on, Ethan.
00:28What?
00:29The discovery of this airplane felt like the perfect place to do a one-er here.
00:32The idea was to feel overwhelmed with Frank
00:35when he realizes the severity of the situation in which he finds himself.
00:39The idea of doing a six-minute one-take, it's a lot to pull that all off.
00:44The challenge with a one-er is you don't get to cut.
00:47You need to work out the acting and dramatic beats within the frame.
00:51We just used one camera because it had to move in 180 degrees.
00:55Moving to get to a close-up at the right time
00:57to feel the expression of the actor,
00:59backing up to a wider shot to capture the spectacle of the action.
01:03It's a collaborative process where you let somebody like Sam run with the idea.
01:08Hey, what's that?
01:09Three, two, one.
01:17That was good. Yeah, that was our best one.
01:18We could move on, but we're not going to.
01:21It was really fun to use creative problem-solving and creative storytelling.
01:26We try to up the bar, the action from day one.
01:30Everything has to be story-driven, organic,
01:32and then let the action take us on a journey.
01:35Where are you headed to?
01:36I need this party start.
01:38Each episode is sort of a different action movie,
01:40all working toward one unexpected resolution.
01:43It's down and dirty.
01:44It's a gritty, wild experience.
01:47Do whatever it takes to secure the perimeter. Can you do that?
01:50This is Alaska.
01:51There is no perimeter.
