Landman is another rural American drama from Taylor Sheridan that's become Paramount Plus' next big TV hit. It's no surprise though since Sheridan has a knack for creating riveting television with the likes of Yellowstone, Mayor of Kingstown, and Special Ops: Lioness to name a few.

Landman is based on the podcast Boomtown, which focuses on the 21st century Texas oil boom in the Permian Basin and features Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris, the overseer of an oil-drilling operation. The official synopsis for Landman reads: "Set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas, Landman is a modern-day tale of fortune-seeking in the world of oil rigs. Based on the notable 11-part podcast Boomtown from Imperative Entertainment and Texas Monthly, the series is an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires fueling a boom so big, it's reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics."
