A pilot commissioned by US television network NBC will film in Victoria, it was announced today.

Frontier, produced by Sony Pictures Television and created by former Cold Case executive Shaun Cassidy, will shoot in the towns of Thornton, Alexandra and Mansfield.

 In a statement, Minister for innovation, services and small business, Louise Asher said the pilot will spend an estimated sum of $6 million in the region. The production is also expected to create 100 jobs for local crew and technicians.

Frontier follows the journey of a group of men and women determined to build new lives for themselves on the Pacific coast of America in the spring of 1840.

It was drawn to Australia by Film Victoria's Production Investment Attraction Fund and Regional Location Assistance Fund.

**Correction: Filming on Frontier began in mid-March and is expected to wrap in early April.

Hey guys. Please check your research. This has been coming for a couple of months now ... and from memory the 6 week shoot is due to finished shooting TODAY (the day you posted this)!!!. So basically has been and gone. A whole bunch of the crew came from Queensland to Victoria to shoot this one. The kicker is that if it goes into a series, its not going to be shot here. Already slated to shoot in Canada, and only came here because of excess snow in Canada.
