In this eight-part format, two multi-generational extended families will leave the 21st Century behind for the Frontier, to live as 1880s pioneers in a bold ‘Living History’ social experiment. The challenges they’ll face will be riven with adventure and require their collective ingenuity and creativity to succeed. In stepping back in time to a world where nothing beyond the 1880s exists, each individual and family will rediscover themselves and reconnect with each other in truly transformational, life-changing ways.

Back to the Frontier is available on HBO Max. It’s available to stream on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Hulu, Disney+, and Citytv+.
