Landman S1

The most streamed series globally in the first quarter of 2025, Landman is a modern-day tale of fortune-seeking, set in the West Texas oilfields, where roughnecks and wildcat billionaires are fuelling a boom so big it’s reshaping the region’s climate, economy and geopolitics.

Billy Bob Thornton was nominated for the 2025 Golden Globe for Best Actor as oil company fixer Tommy Norris. The all-star cast includes Oscar nominee Demi Moore (The Substance), Teen Choice nominee Ali Larter (Heroes, Final Destination), and Emmy winner Jon Hamm (Mad Men, Fargo).

Landman is co-created by Oscar nominee Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone, 1923, Lioness, Tulsa King) and Christian Wallace, inspired by the podcast Boomtown, which Wallace hosted and based on his own experiences working on oil rigs.

Paramount+ has already ordered a second season of Landman, which has an 8.2/10 rating on IMDb.
