‘The Last Frontier’ – Season 1 (October 10)

A plane packed with America’s most dangerous convicts crashes in the wilds of Alaska. It’s their final chance of escape — and all hell is sure to break loose. Jason Clarke stars as the U.S. Marshal charged with tracking them down across the treacherous landscape.
