Discovery Drama Netflix Period Drama

Commissioned by Discovery Canada as the channel’s first original scripted series, Frontier will debut in Canada on the network before coming to Netflix Canada beginning in 2018. The series follows the chaotic and violent struggle to control wealth and power in the North American fur trade in the late 18th century. 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.
