Billy Bob Thornton leans against a truck labelled M-Tex Oil in Landman
Billy Bob Thornton is set to take on the role of a modern-day fixer in Taylor Sheridan's latest series, Landman. The show, which premieres on Paramount+, places Thornton in the shoes of Tommy Norris, a character caught between the ultra-wealthy and those scraping by in the hot, oil-rich fields of West Texas.
What is 'Landman' About? Landman is based on the popular 2019 podcast Boomtown, which delved into the real-life stories of the Permian Basin in Texas, an area synonymous with oil exploration. Like many of Sheridan's other works, Landman promises to capture the intense highs and inevitable lows of life in this volatile region.
In addition to Thornton and Hamm, the series also stars Demi Moore as Cami Miller, adding to the high-profile cast. Landman continues Sheridan's streak of creating compelling dramas set against rugged, real-world backdrops, joining the ranks of hits like Yellowstone, 1923, and Tulsa King. Landman is shaping up to be yet another powerful addition to Sheridan's ever-expanding television universe, promising viewers a drama filled with tension, ambition, and the stark realities of life in the oil industry.
