The show’s official description: “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.” The series is co-created by Sheridan and Christian Wallace.
“It’s based on oil speculators and what they called landmen, which are the guys that run around and try to acquire mineral rights and land rights in the hope of speculating and finding oil,” Hamm previously said of the project. “There’s a lot of oil under the ground here in Texas and they are constantly trying to find it. It’s a story very well told, and I think it’s an interesting take on what happens when it comes to how we get the stuff that makes our cars and our lives and our planes and everything in our modern world go.”
Landman stars Oscar-winner Billy Bob Thornton and Demi Moore, along with Ali Larter (The Last Victim), Michelle Randolph (1923), Jacob Lofland (Joker 2), Kayla Wallace (When Calls the Heart), James Jordan (Yellowstone), Mark Collie (Nashville) and Paulina Chávez (The Expanding Universe of Ashley Garcia). Andy Garcia (Expendables franchise) and Michael Pe?a (End of Watch) also serve as guest stars.
Hamm plays Monty Miller, a titan of the Texas oil industry who has a long personal and professional relationship with Tommy Norris (Thornton). Moore will play Cami, the wife of another powerful oil man in Texas and a friend of Norris.
Landman premieres the first of its 10 episodes on Paramount+ on Nov. 17.
