In the latest thriller from Taylor Sheridan, known for hits like Yellowstone and Sicario, audiences are taken into the world of oil drilling in West Texas with Landman. The trailer sets the stage for a tale of fortune seekers, wildcat billionaires, and roughnecks, all navigating the high-stakes landscape of oil extraction.
Billy Bob Thornton commands the screen as a resilient oilman in this gritty setting. Supported by a talented cast including Ali Larter, Michelle Randolph, and Jon Hamm, with guest appearances from Andy Garcia and Michael Peña, ‘Landman’ promises a series filled with compelling performances.
Derived from the podcast Boomtown by Christian Wallace, Landman delves into the economic, political, and environmental impacts of the oil industry, offering a blend of drama and social commentary. Executive produced by Sheridan and Wallace, the series ensures a well-rounded and detailed narrative.
While the series may touch on familiar themes of power and greed, the fresh setting and timely subject matter could resonate with viewers. Set to debut on Paramount+ on November 17, 2024, ‘Landman’ is a show that both fans of Sheridan’s previous works and new audiences interested in the oil industry should keep an eye on.
