Momoa will be in the shoes of Declan Harp, a charismatic trader, ambitious and confident. He has a reputation for being uncompromising in business, driven by lust and revenge.

Brad Peyton (“San Andreas”) will direct the six episodes and is involved in the production as executive producer alongside Fierson Jeff, Alex and Patrick John Vatcher. “Frontier” also includes the casting Landon Liboiron (“Hemlock Grove”), Alun Armstrong, Allan Hawco and Zoe Boyle.

Filming will begin this month in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Ontario and Cornwall, scheduled for broadcast next year.
