Landman
Created by Taylor Sheridan, Christian Wallace
On Paramount+
A contemporary Western drama that balances the grit and ambition of oil-boom fortune-seeking with ensemble character work across class lines, mixing dramatic stakes with comedic relief.
Set in the proverbial boomtowns of West-Texas and a modern-day tale of fortune-seeking in the world of oil rigs, the series is an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires that are fueling a boom so big it’s reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics.
