Set to premiere on November 17, 2024, on Paramount+, Landman is an anticipated drama series created by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, inspired by the podcast Boomtown. This series explores the intricate world of oil rigs in West Texas, highlighting the lives of roughnecks and ambitious billionaires amid a booming oil economy that significantly impacts climate and geopolitics.
Landman centers around Tommy Norris, portrayed by Billy Bob Thornton, who is a crisis executive at an oil company. The story unfolds in a contemporary boomtown where individuals chase fortunes, often facing dire consequences. Alongside Thornton, the cast includes Demi Moore as Cami Miller, the wife of a powerful oil baron, and Jon Hamm as Monty Miller, a titan in the Texas oil industry with deep ties to Tommy. Other notable characters include Tommy’s ex-wife Angela Norris (played by Ali Larter), their daughter Ainsley (portrayed by Michelle Randolph), and various supporting characters that enrich this complex narrative.
Taylor Sheridan not only co-created the show but also serves as the writer for all ten episodes, ensuring a consistent vision throughout the series.
Filming took place primarily in Fort Worth, Texas, from February to June 2024. The production captures the essence of West Texas’s oil culture, utilizing real locations such as the Fort Worth Petroleum Club. Executive producers include notable figures like David Glasser and Ronald Burkle, further solidifying the show’s high production values.
The score for Landman is crafted by composer Andrew Lockington, known for his work on various film and television projects. His musical contributions are expected to enhance the emotional depth of the series.
