Alaska: The Last Frontier is an American reality cable television series on the Discovery Channel, currently in its 6th season of broadcast. The show documents the extended Kilcher family, descendants of a Swiss immigrant Alaska pioneer, at their homestead 11 miles outside of Homer. By living without plumbing or modern heating, the clan must subsist by hunting and preparing for the long winters. The Kilcher family are relatives of the singer Jewel. Jewel herself has been shown on the show.

Production occurs throughout the year on site. The production crew is based out of California.

In 2015, Atz Lee, his wife Jane, and a company involved in the production of the show were charged with using a helicopter as part of bear hunt while filming an episode in 2014. Using any aircraft to spot prey, or using a helicopter in any way as part of a hunt is illegal in Alaska. All three pleaded not guilty. The matter was on hold due to Atz Lee being seriously injured in a hiking accident. but eventually the charges against the Kilchers themselves were dismissed, while production company Wilma TV was fined $17,500.
