Get ready to head back to the oil fields, where power, money, and survival collide in the most explosive way possible. Taylor Sheridan, the creative genius behind Yellowstone, 1883, and Mayor of Kingstown, is once again bringing the heat with the return of Landman — and it’s coming back to the Paramount Network this weekend!
If you thought the oil business was just about drilling and numbers, think again. Landman is a gripping, high-octane drama that digs deep into the modern-day American energy boom, where billion-dollar deals are made over whiskey, land disputes turn violent, and every handshake could be a trap.
🛢️ What’s Landman All About?
Set in the heart of West Texas, Landman tells the story of the roughnecks, dealmakers, and wildcatters shaping America’s future from underneath the dust and grit of oil country. But this isn’t just another show about industry — it’s about ambition, betrayal, and the cost of chasing power.
At the center of the drama is Tommy Norris (played by Billy Bob Thornton), a crisis manager for an oil company who’s forced to navigate corporate corruption, environmental chaos, and morally gray choices in a town where loyalty is rare and danger is always just one bad deal away.
The stakes are sky-high, and nobody plays clean.
🌟 A Cast That Commands the Screen
Billy Bob Thornton leads the series with a rugged charm and intensity that only he can deliver. But he’s not alone — the show features a powerhouse cast including Ali Larter, Michelle Randolph, and Jacob Lofland, each bringing layered, unforgettable performances that keep the tension alive in every scene.
Expect characters you’ll root for, others you’ll love to hate — and some who may not survive long enough for you to decide
⚡ Real Stories. Real Grit. Real Consequences.
What sets Landman apart is its basis in reality. Inspired by the Texas Monthly podcast Boomtown, this series isn’t just entertainment — it’s a window into one of the most powerful and controversial industries in America today.
From environmental protests and high-stakes legal battles to backroom deals and oil rig disasters, Landman dives into the dark underbelly of the American dream. It forces you to ask: how far would you go for power and profit?
