Set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas, “Landman” is a modern-day tale of fortune-seeking in the world of oil rigs and is based on the notable 11-part podcast “Boomtown,” an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires fueling a boom so big, it’s reshaping the climate, the economy and geopolitics.
In addition to Billy Bob Thornton, “Landman” also stars Ali Larter (“The Last Victim”), Michelle Randolph (“1923”), Jacob Lofland (“Joker 2”), Kayla Wallace (“When Calls the Heart”), James Jordan (“Yellowstone”), Mark Collie (“Nashville”), Paulina Chávez (“The Expanding Universe of Ashley Garcia”) and Demi Moore (“Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans”).
Hamm is best known to audiences for his award-winning role as high-powered advertising executive Don Draper on AMC’s “Mad Men,” where he earned numerous awards for his performance, including an Emmy, Golden Globe, TCA and Critics Choice Television Awards, and multiple Screen Actors Guild nominations. More recently, Hamm appeared in season three episodes of “The Morning Show” and the second season of Amazon’s “Good Omens.”
Currently filming in and around Fort Worth, Texas, “Landman” is executive produced by Taylor Sheridan, David C. Glasser, David Hutkin, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, Christian Wallace, Geyer Kosinski, Michael Friedman and Stephen Kay (“General Hospital”). Dan Friedkin and Jason Hoch for Imperative Development LLC, and J.K. Nickell and Megan Creydt for Texas Monthly, also executive produce. Peter Feldman serves as co-executive producer.
The series is the latest addition to Sheridan’s growing slate of originals on Paramount+, including “1923,” “1883,” “Special Ops: Lioness,” “Mayor of Kingstown,” “Tulsa King” and “Lawmen: Bass Reeves.”
