"ALASKA: THE LAST FRONTIER" RETURNS TO DISCOVERY CHANNEL SUNDAY, OCTOBER 9
The Kilcher family return to Discovery Channel as their lives as homesteaders outside of Homer, Alaska continue to be documented in an all-new season of the multiple Emmy-Award nominated series ALASKA: THE LAST FRONTIER which premieres Sunday, October 9 at 9PM ET/PT.
Several generations proudly live off the land that Yule Kilcher obtained more than 80 years ago. Along-time Alaskan who helped write the state constitution and later served in the Legislature, Yule was fiercely dedicated to his family's mission as homesteaders. He and his wife Ruth taught their family to be self-sufficient and to live solely off the resources the land can provide. Yule's sons, Atz and Otto Kilcher, continue Yule's vision and traditions of a subsistence lifestyle and teach this way of life to their children and their families who live on the 640-acre homestead, including Atz's son, Atz Lee, and Otto's son, Eivin.
The all-new season of ALASKA: THE LAST FRONTIER begins when Otto Kilcher is critically mauled by a steer during a severe snowstorm. With doctors unsure if he will recover, his wife Charlotte is left reeling with grief and the family overwhelmed with homestead work. Life has always been unpredictable yet rewarding on the homestead but now the Kilcher family is faced with a hard truth after Otto's accident: the younger generation must step up and take on more responsibilities or the homestead will not survive.
Other stories this season include Atz, with the help of his daughter, singer-songwriter Jewel, mobilizing a group of military veterans to do good deeds for others and bring water to a local homesteader; Eivin considering expanding the Kilcher's reach in the state by becoming a bush pilot; Charlotte leaving the homestead for the very first time since Otto's injury; August and his brother Eivin taking a trip to Red Mountain; and Atz's son Etienne enduring a homestead rite of passage in the wilderness before he leaves the homestead for college.
ALASKA: THE LAST FRONTIER is produced for Discovery Channel by Bright Spot Content, an All3Media America company.

THE KILCHER FAMILY HOMESTEAD IS PUT TO THE ULTIMATE TEST IN LANDMARK 10TH SEASON OF "ALASKA THE LAST FRONTIER" PREMIERING OCTOBER 25 ON DISCOVERY CHANNEL
(Los Angeles) - 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.
