A co-production between Netflix and Discovery Channel, with the former having the rights to air it outside of Canada, Fronter is a historical drama created by Brad Peyton (San Andreas) and Rob and Peter Blackie.

Jason Momoa is headlining the miniseries, and based on the first images it looks like he'll be getting back to something approaching his Khal Drogo roots (basically, quite bloody and violent).

The series will centre on the 18th Century fur trade, and the chaotic struggle for power within it, taking place "in a world where business negotiations might be resolved with close-quarter hatchet fights, and where delicate relations between Native tribes and Europeans can spark bloody conflicts."

The series is expected to hit Netflix later this year.
