How to Watch 'Landman,' Taylor Sheridan's Drama Starring Demi ...
Taylor Sheridan is at it again, folks. When the man isn’t beefing with Kevin Costner, he’s pumping out westerns. (And the occasional CIA drama.) Sheridan’s latest series, Landman, explores the world of Texas oil rigs. Like Yellowstone—and its spin-offs, 1923 and 1883—Landman is ultimately about money and power, but this time Sheridan has replaced ranchers with roughnecks.
Landman is based on the Boomtown podcast, which tells the story of a modern-day gold rush. Feel free to check it out if you want to brush up on your oil-industry knowledge. In the meantime, check out the Landman trailer (streaming above) and keep reading for more details.
In Landman, Billy Bob Thornton (!) plays Tommy Norris, the crisis manager of a burgeoning oil company. His line of work becomes untenable when he’s forced to manage the billionaires funding the oil rig along with the men who work on it.
Sheridan reportedly crafted the role with Thornton in mind and tried to reflect the actor’s voice in the script. “When I read the first script, sure enough, it’s like, yeah, if I were a landman, I think I’d try to be like that,” Thornton told CBS. “I don’t take things that I’m not right for,” said Thornton. “If I read something and it fits like a glove, then those are the things I do if I’m interested in the subject.”
Well, if it’s good enough for Mr. Billy Bob, it’s good enough for me. Landman premieres on Paramount+ on November 17. If you have bandwidth for yet another Sheridan-created series in your life, we’ve provided Landman’s full release schedule and streaming information below.
