Is Taylor Sheridan capable of spreading himself too thin? Paramount hopes not, as the busy creator has four shows dropping this year with new seasons of Tulsa King , Lioness, and the flagship Yellowstone. And after that comes another, Landman, an oil rig drama coming in November that could be Sheridan’s next franchise.
Look at the incredible cast of this one: Billy Bob Thornton takes the lead role, joined by Ali Larter, Demi Moore, Michelle Randolph, Jacob Lofland, Kayla Wallace, James Jordan, Mark Collie, and Paulina Chavez, with Jon Hamm, Andy Garcia, and Michael Pena in guest roles. Damn.
Here’s the synopsis: 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.
Landman debuts on Paramount+ with a two-episode premiere on November 17th.
