The first pictures of new Paramount+ series ‘Landman’ are online.
Billy Bob Thornton, Jon Hamm and Demi Moore are among the cast.
It’s the latest show from ‘Yellowstone’ creator Taylor Sheridan.

While ‘Yellowstone’ might be coming to an end, series creator Taylor Sheridan is certainly keeping himself busy. He has a variety of other shows either on streaming services or in the works, and the first images from one of the newcomers, ‘Landman’ are now online.

Starring Billy Bob Thornton (who first came into Sheridan’s orbit when he took a role on ‘Yellowstone’ prequel ‘1883’), the series is set in the high-pressure (in several senses of the word) world of oilrigs in Texas.

And around Thornton, he’s recruited a typically starry cast.

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 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.

Speaking to Vanity Fair, Thornton discussed his character:

“I’m a fixer and a foreman. Even though I work with the head guy, I also work very closely with the people out in the field. I check the wells every day, get the information to give him, I deal with the landowners, and if something happens on that land, if there’s an accident on the rig, I’ve got to solve that problem and go deal with the lawyers. There aren’t really a lot of scenes where my character comes home and says, ‘My God, was my day amazing!’ I slink into the house every day like somebody just beat the hell out of me.”

Moore discussed working with Sheridan on the show:

“He thinks way ahead. He’s thinking through not just one season. He’s thinking through an epic story. He writes incredible, complex, dynamic and delicious women who are powerful, vulnerable, flawed.”

When will ‘Landman’ be on screens?

Paramount+ will launch the 10-episode first season with its initial two episodes on Sunday, November 17th, with the rest following weekly.
