Where to watch Landman? Streaming and channel details explored
Landman is a brand new series by Taylor Sheridan, centered around the world of oil rigging in West Texas. The show is co-created by Sheridan and Christian Wallace. Landman premiered on Paramount+ on November 17, 2024, and a total of ten episodes will be aired up to January 2025.
The show revolves around the lives of the "roughnecks" and billionaires of West Texas as they navigate the sudden boom in the oil business to make a fortune. It also explores the massive impact of the oil rigs on climate, economy, and geopolitics.
The show is led by Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton), who is the crisis manager of an oil company. According to a 2024 Esquire report, Sheridan has written the role of Timmy keeping Thornton in mind from the get-go.
