Production for Taylor Sheridan's newest series Landman is currently underway in Texas, with the show already halfway through filming. Landman, unlike Sheridan's previous works, focuses on a 21st-century oil boom in West Texas rather than modern-day cowboys or ranch hands. The series, based on the podcast Boomtown, delves into the world of oil speculators and landmen who seek mineral and land rights in hopes of striking oil.
With a cast including Jon Hamm, Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore, and Ali Larter, Landman explores the complexities of the oil industry, highlighting the challenges and political dynamics involved in oil exploration. The show is set to be released in 2025 on Paramount+, offering viewers a modern-day tale of fortune-seeking in the oil rig industry.
According to Hamm, Landman is a well-written and well-researched story that provides an intriguing perspective on the impact of oil discovery on climate, economy, and geopolitics. The series promises a mix of drama, intrigue, and a deep dive into the world of oil drilling and speculation.
With a stellar cast and Sheridan at the helm, Landman is shaping up to be a compelling and engaging series that is sure to captivate audiences. Hamm expresses confidence that fans will enjoy the show, citing the talented cast, Sheridan's direction, and the overall quality of the storytelling.
