Billy Bob Thornton stars in the series as Tommy Norris, the so-called "Landman," a crucial figure in the oil industry. His character is the ultimate fixer—a problem-solver who is constantly navigating the chaotic and dangerous world of oil drilling. With explosions, dangerous work environments, and power struggles, the show brings the gritty reality of the business to life. Tommy Norris’s job is to resolve issues that arise within the world of oil and gas, and the show explores the tensions between the workers in the field and the billionaires who profit from it all.
The show features an impressive ensemble cast, with Thornton’s character surrounded by a family dynamic. Ali Larter plays Tommy’s ex-wife, while Michelle Randolph and Jacob Lofland take on the roles of his children. Together, they add depth to the storyline as the family navigates their lives amidst the turbulent and often dangerous world of oil. The series also stars other notable names, including Kayla Wallace, James Jordan, and even Demi Moore in a guest role. Landman promises to blend family drama with the rawness of West Texas oil culture, making for an exciting and complex narrative.
One of the most interesting aspects of Landman is its filming location—Odessa, Texas. The show’s crew set up camp in the town this past May to shoot a significant scene at Ratliff Stadium during the Permian High School’s Spring Black and White game. With nearly 1,000 extras filling the stands, the crew filmed for hours, capturing the essence of Odessa’s football culture alongside the oil industry drama. The cast and crew spent several days in Odessa, but the exact episode that will feature this iconic location hasn’t been revealed yet. Fans will have to tune in to find out!
The first episode of Landman will premiere on November 17, 2024, with two episodes dropping to start the season. Following that, new episodes will air every Sunday, providing fans with a gripping storyline each week. With its deep roots in the oil-rich regions of Texas, powerful performances, and complex storytelling, Landman is shaping up to be a must-watch series for anyone who loves high-stakes drama with a touch of Western grit.
So, mark your calendars, and get ready to dive into the world of oil, family, and power struggles when Landman hits Paramount+ this November!
