Landman is an upcoming drama series set to premiere on Paramount+ on November 17, 2024. Created by Taylor Sheridan, known for works like Yellowstone, the series delves into the high-stakes world of the West Texas oil industry, exploring the lives of both roughnecks and billionaires.

Set in the boomtowns of Texas, Landman offers a modern tale of fortune-seeking among roughnecks and billionaires in the oil industry. The series is an upstairs/downstairs story, highlighting the dynamics between the working class and the elite, and examines how the oil boom impacts the climate, economy, and geopolitics.

Landman is inspired by the podcast “Boomtown” by Christian Wallace, which delves into the complexities of the Texas oil industry. Wallace, a former oil worker, contributes his industry expertise as an executive producer, ensuring authenticity in the portrayal of the oil fields and the challenges faced by those within the industry.

Given Taylor Sheridan’s track record of creating compelling narratives with complex characters, Landman is highly anticipated by audiences and critics alike. The series is expected to provide an in-depth look into the personal and professional lives of those navigating the volatile oil industry, set against the backdrop of West Texas.
