After "Landman" episode 1, I was ready to declare it "the next 'Yellowstone'." The show's debut episode wasn't perfect, but it was really good thanks to a killer performance from Billy Bob Thornton as Texas "landman" Tommy Norris.
It turned out I was right. "Landman" is, in fact, on track to be the next "Yellowstone" — if not even bigger. For context, the season 5 part 2 premiere of "Yellowstone" pulled in approximately 13.62 million viewers (h/t Variety) while the series premiere of "Landman" pulled in 14.6 million viewers in its first week on Paramount Plus (h/t Variety).
