First images of new Netflix drama Frontier released

The drama that is being filmed in Canada is based on the American fur trade of the 1800's.

In a press release the drama is described as 'an action-packed adventure drama following the chaotic and violent struggle to control wealth and power in the North American fur trade in the late 18th century.'

The press release continues to say that the drama is 'Told from multiple perspectives, the series takes place in a world where business negotiations might be resolved with close-quarter hatchet fights, and where delicate relations between Native tribes and Europeans can spark bloody conflicts.'

The strong cast includes Jason Momoa (Game of Thrones, Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice), Alun Armstrong (New Tricks, Braveheart), Landon Liboiron (Hemlock Grove, Degrassi), and Zoe Boyle (Downton Abbey, Sons of Anarchy).

The first season will be made up of six, one hour-episodes and a date has not yet been confirmed for its release as it is still currently shooting.
