Watch the Explosive Trailer for Taylor Sheridan’s New Series ‘Landman’
Billy Bob Thornton says it best in the trailer: "Welcome to the oil business." Paramount+ has finally given us a look at its new drama series, Landman from the mind of Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan—and it's nothing short of explosive.
The show is a modern-day tale of fortune seeking in the world of oil rigs, set in West Texas and based off Christian Wallace’s 2019 podcast Boomtown. The show follows Oscar winner Billy Bob Thornton, who plays Tommy Norris (aka the "Landman,") as he navigates the fiery world of Texas oil rigs, where there’s a new problem gumming up the pipelines each and every day.
Along with Thornton, the rest of the impressive star-studded cast includes, Jon Hamm, Demi Moore, Ali Larter, Michelle Randolph, Jacob Lofland, Kayla Wallace, James Jordan, Mark Collie, and Paulina Chávez.

If that video is anything to go off of, this show is sure to be a wild ride from start to finish. In the teaser, you see phenomenal cinematography that captures the transparent magnitude of the volatile industry: an expansive oil field, an enormous drilling rig, and plenty of explosions.
With shots of both grim-faced men laboring in the dusty landscapes and wealthy characters at swanky black-tie events, it's clear the show will explore both sides of the business along with all the drama that unfolds in their worlds.
But all that power comes with a price—heard in a voiceover warning from star Billy Bob Thornton, who says, "The oil and gas industry makes $3 billion a day in pure profit. But before any of that money is made, you got to secure the land and manage the people. That’s my job. The first part is pretty simple, it’s the second part that can get you killed."
The oil drilling and profiteering series will premiere Sunday, November 17, on Paramount+. This only adds to Sheridan’s growing slate on the streaming service, which includes 1923, 1883, Lawmen: Bass Reeves, Tulsa King, Mayor of Kingstown, and Special Ops: Lioness.
Landman will debut with a two-episode premiere with subsequent episodes of the 10-episode first season dropping on the platform every Sunday until its finale on January 12, 2025. Let the battle for oil begin!
