Landman dropped on Paramount+ and immediately became the kind of prestige US drama that US viewers were clamouring to watch. Billy Bob Thornton plays Tommy Norris, a fast-talking fixer working for an independent oil company in the Permian Basin of West Texas. Created by Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone, Tulsa King), it carries the DNA of Sheridan's best work — working-class grit, moral complexity, and exceptional character writing.
What Is Landman About?
The show follows Tommy Norris, a "landman" — an oil industry term for the person who brokers deals for drilling rights, handles legal disputes and manages the human chaos around a working oil field. Thornton plays Tommy with the kind of weary pragmatism he has built a career on, navigating impossible situations between roughnecks, wildcatters, drug cartels and corporate executives.
The supporting cast includes Ali Larter, Jon Hamm, Demi Moore and Michelle Randolph. Season 1 is ten episodes.
Where Is Landman Streaming in the USA?
Landman is a Paramount+ original series. In the USA, Paramount+ is available as a standalone subscription or as an add-on channel through Prime Video and Apple TV, with an ad-supported Essential plan and an ad-free Premium plan.
Landman is a streaming original rather than a TV channel broadcast, so Paramount+ is where to watch it. An IPTV player such as TiviMate only shows the channels and titles your provider distributes, and whether those include any Paramount+ series depends on that provider's rights.
Is Landman Worth Watching?
For fans of Taylor Sheridan's previous work, absolutely. Landman has a slightly different tone than Yellowstone — more overtly comedic in places, more interested in the mundane bureaucracy of the oil industry — but it has the same underlying fascination with American capitalism and working-class survival.
Billy Bob Thornton gives one of his best TV performances. Jon Hamm is reliably excellent. If you watched and enjoyed Yellowstone, Tulsa King or 1883, Landman is essential viewing.
