New Paramount+ Show “Landman” Starring Billy Bob Thornton Premieres on Nov. 17
Taylor Sheridan’s latest TV creation, “Landman,” is set to debut on Paramount+ on November 17th, featuring a star-studded cast led by Billy Bob Thornton. The 10-episode series is described as an upstairs/downstairs drama set against the backdrop of the Texas oil boom, showcasing a diverse range of characters from roughnecks to wildcat billionaires.
Based on the podcast “Boomtown,” the show delves into the modern-day gold rush that is reshaping life in Texas, exploring the high-stakes world of executives, startups, pipeline workers, and exotic dancers. With themes touching on Big Oil’s impact on climate, economy, and geopolitics, “Landman” promises to be a gripping and timely series.
Joining Thornton in the cast are familiar faces from Sheridan’s previous Paramount+ dramas, including Ali Larter, Michelle Randolph, Jacob Lofland, and Demi Moore. Jon Hamm, Andy Garcia, and Michael Peña will also make guest appearances, adding to the star power of the show.
Known for his ruggedly individualistic characters that explore different aspects of the American experience, Sheridan has created a string of hit shows like “Yellowstone,” “1883,” and “Mayor of Kingstown.” “Landman” is expected to continue this trend, offering viewers a compelling look at the complexities of frontier expansion, modern ranching, and more.
