US-Star Hilary Swank was last in the headlines because of her late twin pregnancy (the actress is 48 years old). In terms of career, on the other hand, things have not been looking too rosy for Swank for several years: Although she is considered a great talent – especially when it comes to portraying strong, fearless female characters – major successes have been missing for some time.

Where and when can “Alaska Daily” be seen?
“Alaska Daily” startet am February 22 on Disney+. One episode will appear once a week.
In the US, the series can be seen on ABC. So far, however, there are only six episodes, it should only continue in March. Is that a good omen? Or will “Alaska Daily” join the ranks of the many Hilary Swank flops?
