Alaska The Last Frontier is returning soon to Discovery Channel. The tenth season of the docu-series is set to premiere in October. This season will show how the Kilcher family deals with the pandemic on the homestead.
Discovery Channel revealed more about the new season of Alaska The Last Frontier in a press release.
“This season, the Kilcher family will have to dig deep to overcome a number of challenges. With a potentially explosive summer wildfire season on the horizon and a global pandemic reaching Alaska, the Homer natives must work together to ensure that they can continue to survive and thrive on the homestead that Yule Kilcher established 80 years ago. The brand-new season of ALASKA THE LAST FRONTIER premieres Sunday, October 25 at 8PM ET/PT on Discovery Channel.
Life is always unpredictable on the homestead, but this season when the Covid-19 pandemic hits Alaska, the Kilchers must adapt and rely on each other like never before. When film crews must be evacuated, the Kilchers step up to the challenge and decide to continue to self-film their lives and the day-to-day mayhem of the homestead, and we see the family in a whole new way.
This season, with hunting off the homestead put on hold during the pandemic, Jane works to help fill the family’s freezer with fish and becomes the main provider of meat this summer. And after seeing so many locals hit hard economically, Eve plants a massive summer garden that is large enough to supply both the homestead and Homer’s food bank with fresh fruits and vegetables. Meanwhile, August takes the opportunity to follow in his grandfather Yule’s footsteps as a filmmaker and document this unprecedented time on camera.
And the Kilchers work to overcome other difficulties as well. As Atz Sr. plans to rebuild the first cabin his family ever lived in on the homestead, he suffers from several health scares that threaten to sideline this important project. Atz Lee devotes the summer to building a new off-grid cabin in the backcountry, but is plagued by crippling episodes of PTSD from his life-threatening fall several years ago. Helping Atz Lee with both the build and his PTSD is his 19-year-old son, Etienne, who became a man in his father’s eyes this summer. Otto, Charlotte and their 23-year-old son August must contend with two complicated cattle drives during the pandemic, as well as an emergency on Kilcher road after a rainstorm threatens to wash out the only passage to the homestead. And Eivin, with his wife Eve and two young children at home, severely cuts his leg and must be rushed to an emergency doctor for help. This year, for the first time ever, the outside world comes crashing into the homestead, and the Kilchers rally to protect their way of life for the future.

What do you think? Are you a fan of this docu-series? Will you watch season 10 of Alaska The Last Frontier on Discovery Channel?
I am the same age as Otto. I live in NC. I have enjoyed this series so much but I feel I can no longer watch it because of Otto’s foul mouth.
Just wanted to know why they never used dogs for their trail drives.
I adore this family and don’t want them to stop filming. Their family and life values are so refreshing. Lots of love in and hard work with this family. My favorite show!
I love this show and family.
My wife and I enjoy the show and some how have accepted the Kilchers in to our hearts and have watched all 10 season’s.
I love Alaska Frontier. I have watched since the beginning!! I love to see the Antz Lee Son join the show and watching Eve and Eiven kids grow. I absolutely love August!! Everyone is amazing! Otto, Charlotte, Antz Sr and Bonnie have so much knowledge and they are truly one of a kind. Thanks for making my life more complete just by watching your show!!! Much love
I love Alaska the last Frontier. Even if it is scripted it is interesting and fun to watch! Please bring it back for season 10, 11, 12, and beyond. Glad Etienne came back now that he’s grown!
Please please don’t take Alaska last frontier off. It’s the best Alaska show. We look forward to the show each year. We will miss it!
Wonderful series and I was saddened when it was reported that the series had been cancelled. Great news that it will resume!
I don’t understand why Azt Lee & Azt Sr always seem to do their own thing when there seems to be a crisis on the Homestead. Poor Jane is always hunting & fishing for the family & Azt Lee is building another Cabin? And now Azt Sr decides to rebuild the family old cabin. Is it just me or do they seem to be self centered? I love the show. But those women can put the men to shame.
I really enjoy this program. thank you for bringing it back. I really like the kilcher’s families. these families try to show how you live off the land, so very glad its returning.
does anyone no if shane finish he’s house?
HUNTER—–I so agree with everything you said. Nothing but re-runs, and sometimes they didn’t even come on. I say we get half our money back from cable as well. But so happy so hear ALASKA THE LAST FRONTIER is coming back. It’s a very good, very real show that we love watching. Who cares about the housewives of where ever or filthy rich. Dump those shows and put something watchable on, as well as ALASKA THE LAST FRONTIER. We want something interesting and funny to watch, as well. But will certainly be watching this show for sure. WE LOVE IT.

I was beginning to wonder IF we would ever get new shows to watch ??? I as one with THOUSANDS of folks want something to watch for entertainment on TV that be it DISH OR CABLE that the big companies could of at the very least take the bill and give back some of the money for showing all reruns knowing folks were NOT watching TV so they get richer while their customers pay to NOT… Read more »
