Frontier is a gritty historical drama series set in the late 1700s, focusing on the violent and chaotic struggle for control over the North American fur trade. The show stars Jason Momoa as Declan Harp, a fierce and half-Irish, half-Cree outlaw who is waging a personal war against the corrupt Hudsonโs Bay Company. Harp, once a former company man, now seeks revenge for the injustices committed against his people and family, becoming a symbol of rebellion in a world ruled by greed and power.
The series explores the political and economic tensions between the British Crown, independent traders, Native tribes, and other colonial powers. As alliances shift and betrayals unfold, characters find themselves entangled in a deadly game of survival and dominance. The show dives deep into the brutal realities of frontier life, where violence, ambition, and loyalty are constantly tested. Alongside Declan Harp, other key characters such as Lord Benton, Michael Smyth, and Sokanon bring complexity and heart to the bloody conflict.
With its rugged landscapes, intense action sequences, and morally complex characters, Frontier delivers a powerful narrative about resistance and resilience. It sheds light on the often-overlooked Indigenous perspective and the harsh conditions of colonial expansion. Blending historical fiction with raw drama, the series offers a gripping portrayal of a lawless time when empires were built with blood and betrayal.
