Jason Momoa is headed back into the wilderness. Recently, Discovery Canada announced they have renewed the TV show Frontier for a third season of six episodes.

The historical drama, which airs on Netflix in the U.S., centers on the rough and often violent North American fur trade of the late 18th century. In addition to Momoa, the series stars Alun Armstrong, Zoe Boyle, and Landon Liboiron.

Season three of Frontier will begin production this winter. It’s unclear if Netflix will pick up the new season of the Canadian drama, but it seems likely.

More on FRONTIER Season 2:

Fort James is left in chaos after Michael Smyth (Liboiron), Sokanon (Matten), and Grace Emberly (Boyle) detonated the munitions magazine, and Declan Harp (Momoa) slips through the hangman’s noose. With Harp gone, the Black Wolf Company is fractured and scattered to the wind. No one knows if Harp survived, but Lord Benton (Armstrong) isn’t taking chances, offering a dead-or-alive bounty for Harp that also threatens his allies, as killers come to the frontier in search of the reward.

With Lord Benton making reckless decisions in the wake of being bested by Harp, Captain Chesterfield (Evan Jonigkeit) angles for an opportunity to make his mark. Laying a dangerous proposal on the table, Emberly puts everything she has worked for at risk, including the safety of the women who work for her at the ale house, Mary (Breanne Hill) and Imogen (Diana Bentley). Lord Benton gets to work righting the deceitful trespasses against him, and promises to unleash pain upon his enemies tenfold in response – all while the Black Wolf Company attempts its riskiest gamble yet trying to destroy the stranglehold the Hudson’s Bay Company has on the fur trade.

In the burgeoning city of Montréal, the power dynamic of the trade is in flux, as serious battle lines are drawn between Elizabeth Carruthers (McGrath) and Samuel Grant (Shawn Doyle). No one is safe in the crossfire of their escalating personal war, and no one is above their manipulations – something the Brown Brothers (Hawco, Michael Patric) and Clenna Dolan (Lyla Porter Follows) will come to know all too well, as the unpredictable Cobbs Pond (Greg Bryk) interferes in their business.
