Discovery hasn’t announced when Alaska: The Last Frontier season 12 will return, but it could premiere in mid-2024 with a slightly different cast.
Alaska: The Last Frontier season 12 could be released soon, but the network hasn’t revealed any official details yet. The Discovery Channel reality TV show first aired in 2011 and has since become popular for being a great blend of family drama and survival. Season 11 aired in October 2022 and featured Alaska’s last frontier man, Otto Kilcher, fighting for his life after a snowstorm accident. Fortunately, the 71-year-old made it through and recovered while his son, Eivin Kilcher, and the rest of the family took charge and handled the work.
Since Alaska: The Last Frontier season 11 ended in November 2022, viewers may be curious about the next one. There is some suggestion that the show won’t get its season 12. Many also have wondered if the Kilcher family patriarch will return to the show after what happened in the last season and if any new cast members will join. Nonetheless, neither Discovery Channel nor the show’s cast members have talked about it yet, leaving fans with speculation and guesses.

Alaska: The Last Frontier Season 12 Potential Release Window
Since Alaska: The Last Frontier season 12 isn’t official yet, there’s no confirmed news on when it will come out. However, the release pattern of the last few seasons reveals when fans can expect to see the show’s next edition. Over 11 years (via IMDB), Alaska: The Last Frontier has mostly hit cable TV in the month of October.
While a few rare seasons came out in May, December, and September, most aired later in the fall. Ideally, viewers should have received an Alaska: The Last Frontier season 12 premiere in mid-October 2023, but that never happened. It’s possible the season could be released sometime in 2024.
Alaska: The Last Frontier Season 12 Potential Cast
Alaska: The Last Frontier season 12 doesn’t have a trailer yet, but it’s easy to guess the potential cast if there is a season. It should feature Atz Kilcher and his younger brother Otto. It should also include the rest of the family, such as their sons and wives. Some returning cast members could include Eivin Kilcher, Jane Kilcher, Eve Kilcher, Charlotte Kilcher, Bonnie Kilcher, and more.
However, a few people may or may not be on the show. Eivin’s cousin Atz is working on his music career. He has been traveling around over the months. Still, it won’t be surprising if Alaska: The Last Frontier season 12 doesn’t hit the screens in 2024.
