So, if a plane filled with convicts happens to crash-land in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness, the question isn’t just who survives—it’s how to bring these cons back into custody when the wild is on their side and the law is miles away.In the upcoming thriller series The Last Frontier, Jason Clarke (from Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and HBO’s Winning Time) stars as Frank Remnick, the lone U.S. marshal who finds himself battling both the elements and a gang of escaped convicts after their prison transport plane crashes in the Alaskan wild. While tasked with keeping order in a remote town where trouble usually comes in the form of harsh winters and long nights, Remnick scrambles to protect the community when it quickly becomes clear the crash wasn’t just bad luck—it was a setup for something much bigger, and far deadlier.The series boasts a stacked supporting cast, including Dominic Cooper, Haley Bennett, Simone Kessell, Johnny Knoxville, Clifton Collins Jr., Dallas Goldtooth, and Tait Blum, with Alfre Woodard adding extra firepower to the ensemble.Behind the camera, stuntman-turned-action director Sam Hargrave (Extraction) helms episodes, bringing his knack for visceral, bone-crunching action, while creators John Bokenkamp and Richard D’Ovidio steer the story into tense, conspiratorial territory.From the looks of it, The Last Frontier aims to deliver a tense survival drama mixed with hard-edged action and just enough paranoia to keep you second-guessing who’s pulling the strings. The wilderness is unforgiving, the convicts are ruthless, and the marshal might be the only thing standing between law and chaos.The Last Frontier is due to premiere Friday, October 10th exclusively on Apple TV+.📺 “Monster: The Ed Gein Story” Trailer: Charlie Hunnam Transforms into Horror’s Real-Life Boogeyman in Third Installment of Ryan Murphy’s Hit True-Crime Anthology Series — Premiering October 3rd on NetflixFor seven seasons of FX’s Sons of Anarchy, Charlie Hunnam proved you can play a morally questionable anti-hero capable of some truly heinous things on screen—yet still have the audience rooting for his character Jax Teller every step of the way. Well, for his latest TV project, Hunnam will be pushing that same kind of intensity into new territory, taking on a role that just might be one of the most reprehensible men to ever live in history. And as much as we loved Hunnam in Sons of Anarchy, this could be the performance that redefines him entirely. Pretty boy, no more—Hunnam taps into the monster within. After all, he plays the real-life serial killer who inspired such classic horror villains as Norman Bates, Leatherface, and Buffalo Bill. As far as serial killers go, Ed Gein may be the most terrifying of them all.In Monster: The Ed Gein Story, the third installment of Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s hit Netflix Monster anthology series, Hunnam steps into the role of Ed Gein, portraying the quiet recluse whose devotion to his domineering mother (played by Laurie Metcalf) and spiraling psychosis led to his gruesome crimes. The series doesn’t just recount Gein’s murders—it explores how his legacy bled into pop culture, reshaping the DNA of horror cinema itself.Known as the “Mad Butcher of Plainfield,” Gein wasn’t content with murder. He robbed graves, mutilated corpses, and turned human remains into household items. When police finally entered his decaying Wisconsin farmhouse in 1957, they uncovered an unimaginable nightmare: furniture made from bones, bowls carved from skulls, and, most chilling of all, a body suit crafted from human skin alongside multiple masks made from the faces of his victims. It was the stuff of legend—and the foundation of modern horror.Tom Hollander appears in the series as filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock, with Olivia Williams as his wife Alma Reville, while Will Brill portrays Tobe Hooper, director of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Their inclusion suggests the limited series will trace how Gein’s crimes directly inspired some of the genre’s most infamous films.Directed by Max Winkler and written by Brennan, the show also features Suzanna Son, Danielle Campbell, Addison Rae, Lesley Manville, Robin Weigert, Vicky Krieps, and more in an ensemble steeped in dread.Monster: The Ed Gein Story is slated to premiere Friday, October 3rd, only on Netflix—which gives audiences a whole month to binge before Halloween.📺 “The Diplomat: Season 3” Trailer: Keri Russell Faces Betrayal, Backroom Power Plays, and Allison Janney as America’s New President — Premiering October 16th on Netflix.Anyone who’s been watching two seasons of Netflix’s highly addictive political thriller The Diplomat can tell you that actress Keri Russell (The Americans, Felicity) might be delivering some of the best work of her career. There’s something so exciting about watching a character who’s unbelievably qualified at her job, yet has just enough know-how to temper her ambition rather than flaunt it.Keri Russell’s U.S. Ambassador Kate Wyler just might be the perfect government operator—sharp, strategic, and savvy enough to navigate both international crises and the political minefields at home. The only problem is, she’s surrounded by overly zealous colleagues and power players whose egos often threaten to derail the very diplomacy she’s trying to preserve. The biggest offender might be her own estranged husband, Hal (expertly played by Rufus Sewell), whose charm and cunning are as dangerous as they are irresistible. They could be the ultimate power couple—if it wasn’t for the fact that Hal’s ambition keeps colliding with Kate’s integrity.Well, with Season 3 on the horizon, Russell’s Kate Wyler will find herself dealing with more than just international crises—she’ll be navigating the fallout of personal betrayals, political landmines, and the kind of high-stakes choices that could shatter alliances both at home and abroad. And it’s all because Vice President Grace Penn (played by the always-wonderful Allison Janney) is a “terribly flawed woman”—and, worse yet, she’s just become the interim President of the United States after her predecessor’s unexpected fatal heart attack.It’s a twist made even more sinister by the fact that Penn herself orche
