TORONTO (October 25, 2016) – Demonstrating unwavering confidence and commitment to its first-ever original scripted drama FRONTIER, Discovery Canada is proud to announce the renewal of the series for a second season. Production of Season 2, once again starring Jason Momoa (GAME OF THRONES, Justice League), is currently underway in advance of the gritty new series’ world premiere on Sunday, Nov. 6 at 9 p.m. ET on Discovery Canada.

Produced in association with Discovery by Take The Shot Productions, together with their partners at ASAP Entertainment, filming of FRONTIER’s six-episode second season is now underway in St. John’s, Nfld., Cape Breton, N.S., Cornwall, U.K., and Ottawa. Season 2 of the premium, beautifully vivid 4K UHD-produced drama is set to premiere in 2017 in Canada on Discovery. Both seasons will be streamed around the world via partner Netflix.

“As we started to see this cinematic, well-cast, and meticulously produced series come to life as we’d dared imagine for Season 1, we knew we’d created a uniquely immersive world and story that begged for expansion to a second season,” said Ken MacDonald, Vice-President and General Manager, Discovery. “Our decision to begin filming another six episodes before the series’ world premiere is a testament to our confidence in FRONTIER’s world-class storytelling.”

Returning with Momoa in Season 2’s star-studded international cast are Landon Liboiron (HEMLOCK GROVE, DEGRASSI), Alun Armstrong (NEW TRICKS, Braveheart), Zoe Boyle (DOWNTON ABBEY, SONS OF ANARCHY), Allan Hawco (REPUBLIC OF DOYLE), Jessica Matten (A Red Girl’s Reasoning), and Shawn Doyle (HOUSE OF CARDS, BIG LOVE). The cast will be guided once again by celebrated filmmaker Brad Peyton (San Andreas, Incarnate, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island), who returns to direct the first episode of Season 2.

“We are thrilled to have the love and support of our partners, Bell Media and Netflix, in bringing Season 2 of FRONTIER to life,” said Executive Producers Jeff Fierson and Brad Peyton, ASAP Entertainment. “We are so proud of the work the incredible cast and crew put in to making Season 1 so special, and aim to make the second season just as strong.”

“It’s an amazing gift to be able to tell the stories of incredibly engaging characters in FRONTIER, all set against such a rich backdrop of Canadian history,” said John Vatcher, Executive Producer and Series Director, Take The Shot Productions.
