What This Announcement Means For The Last Frontier
2025 Has Been An Excellent Year For Apple TV+
Apple TV+ has had a banner year in 2025, withYour Friends and Neighbors,The Studio, andMurderbotleading the pack on the platform alongside other solid series likeSmokeandDope Thief. IfThe Last Frontieris a success, it could cap 2025 as one of Apple TV+’s best years critically.
The only other shows planned for 2025 on Apple TV+ areChief of WarandThe Savant, which premiere in August and September, respectively.That suggests the streamer has some faith in the series if they’re putting it at the end of the calendar year, and the trailer suggests the series will be big budget.
Our Take On The Last Frontier Release Date News
The Series Will Finish Out The 2025 TV Season
October-November always feels a little like the last gasp for TV premieres before the holidays begin in earnest, and we stop getting anything for a month or two.It’s exciting to learn that we should have something interesting to close out the year, and with 10 episodes, we’ll be entertained for a good while.
The trailer also wisely doesn’t give too much away, but it does seem to reveal that we will beginThe Last Frontierin the thick of things, with the plane crash happening early. It’s a frighteningly realistic scene, too, and it looks like Apple TV+ is shelling out the money for this thriller.
