After numerous series from the Yellowstone universe, the unbeatable dad TV tycoon Taylor Sheridan finally presents a project that has nothing to do with the Dutton family. Sure, it’s still about mumbling men in cowboy hats, but that’s just part of his unmistakable brand. In the oil business drama Landman, which you can access directly here the first original trailer you can see:
Landman – S01 Trailer (English) HD
Landman by Yellowstone mastermind Taylor Sheridan takes us into the dirty oil business
Oscar winner Billy Bob Thornton (Goliath) leads Landman as Tommy Norris. The Crisis manager of a large oil company from Texas keeps the perversely lucrative business running, the enemies of the business at bay and apparently acts as a kind of fixer for oil baron Monty Miller (Mad Men star Jon Hamm). Together with Monty’s wife Cami (Demi Moore) they experience the highs and lows of the dangerous business with the liquid, black gold on which entire regions and branches of business depend.
The most amusing sentence in the Paramount+ preview makes it clear how stressful the dirty job is. When a bartender asks Tommy if he would like something stronger to drink, he replies: “I’ve stopped drinking, I’m sticking with beer.”
The Landman series is based on the twelve-part podcast Boomtown from 2019. Its description states: “In a rough corner of West Texas, wild billionaires and ruffians are fueling an oil boom so big it’s changing our climate, our economy and our geopolitics. This modern-day gold rush has both big oil companies and small startups vying for a piece of the action.”
When does Landman start on Paramount+?
The US series launch of Landman is with a double episode for the 17 November 2024 on Paramount+. The format will then soon be pumped into our living rooms. A total of ten episodes were filmed for the first season.
