At the beginning of 2026, Apple TV+’s recently canceled thriller series, “The Last Frontier,” is defying expectations by maintaining a strong presence on the platform’s global streaming charts. Despite Apple’s sudden cancellation of the Jason Clarke-led series after its single season concluded in December 2025, the show, which revolves around a U.S. Marshal facing chaos after a prison plane crash in remote Alaska, continues to captivate audiences worldwide. This demonstrates that cancellation doesn’t necessarily signify the end of a show’s momentum.
