Watch Landman

Landman is a compelling new drama from Paramount Network that plunges into the gritty, high-stakes world of the West Texas oil boom. The series is co-created by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, and is based on the popular podcast Boomtown, offering a raw and authentic look at a modern-day frontier where fortunes are made and lost in the blink of an eye. The show is a nuanced character study and a sprawling epic about an industry that shapes economies and shatters lives.

At the center of the story is Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton), a veteran landman in the oil business. A landman's job is a delicate and often deceptive one: securing drilling rights from landowners. Tommy is a man who has seen it all, and his face tells the story of decades spent navigating the treacherous waters of the oil fields. He's not a hero in the traditional sense, but a survivor, driven by a deep sense of loyalty to his family and an unwavering belief in the promise of the land. However, his life is a constant tightrope walk, balanced precariously between the demands of powerful corporations and the needs of the local people.
