Paramount+ has announced that ‘Landman‘, the latest drama from ‘Yellowstone’ co-creator Taylor Sheridan, which stars Billy Bob Thornton, will premiere this November on the streaming service.
Set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas, ‘Landman’ is a modern-day tale of fortune-seeking in the world of oil rigs. Based on the notable 11-part podcast “Boomtown” from Imperative Entertainment and Texas Monthly, the series is an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires fueling a boom so big, it’s reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics.
Oscar-winner Billy Bob Thornton takes the leading role. The series stars Ali Larter (The Last Victim), Michelle Randolph (1923), Jacob Lofland (Joker 2), Kayla Wallace (When Calls the Heart), James Jordan (Yellowstone), Mark Collie (Nashville), Paulina Chávez (The Expanding Universe of Ashley Garcia), and Demi Moore (Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans). Jon Hamm (Mad Men) will star in a recurring guest role with Andy Garcia (Expendables franchise) and Michael Peña (End of Watch) also serving as guest stars.
‘Landman’ is executive produced by Taylor Sheridan, David C. Glasser, David Hutkin, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, Christian Wallace, Geyer Kosinski, Michael Friedman and Stephen Kay. Dan Friedkin and Jason Hoch, for Imperative Entertainment, and J.K. Nickell and Megan Creydt, for Texas Monthly, also executive produce. Peter Feldman serves as co-executive producer. ‘Landman’ is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
This is the latest drama in a string of hits for Sheridan on Paramount+. Along with the main ‘Yellowstone’ series, there are also the spin-offs series ‘1923‘ and ‘1883‘, plus the brilliant ‘Lioness‘ which was recently renewed for Season 2, the Jeremy Renner-fronted ‘Mayor Of Kingstown‘, ‘Tulsa King‘ starring Sylvester Stallone, and ‘Lawmen: Bass Reeves‘ starring David Oyelowo.
‘Landman‘ Season 1 premieres Sunday, 17th November 2024 on Paramount+ in the UK and USA. The series will launch with two episodes, and subsequent episodes of the 10-episode-long first season will be available weekly on Sundays.
