Landman — How to Watch the New Billy Bob Thornton Series in the

Landman arrived on Paramount+ and quickly became the kind of prestige drama American viewers talk about. 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) with journalist Christian Wallace, it carries the marks of Sheridan's best work: working-class grit, moral complexity and sharp character writing.

Where Is Landman Streaming in the USA?

Landman streams on Paramount+, which is its official home in the USA. It is a Paramount+ original, so every episode sits there and new episodes land there first.

Paramount+ sells a standalone subscription in more than one tier, and it is also offered as an add-on channel through some other platforms. Prices and tier names have changed several times, so check the current plans on the Paramount+ website before you sign up rather than relying on a figure quoted on a blog.

If you use TVNado for live TV, note that its on-demand catalogue changes over time and is not a substitute for checking the official service. The reliable route to every episode of Landman is Paramount+.

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 disputes and manages the human chaos around a working oil field. Thornton plays Tommy with the weary pragmatism he has built a career on, navigating impossible situations between roughnecks, wildcatters, drug cartels and corporate executives.

The series is based on Boomtown, the podcast hosted by Christian Wallace about the Permian Basin oil boom. That reporting is why so much of the detail, from lease negotiations to the safety culture on the rigs, feels specific rather than generic.

What Does a Real Landman Do?

A real landman secures the rights to drill. Before an oil company can sink a well, someone has to find out who owns the minerals under the ground, which in Texas is often not the person who owns the surface, and negotiate a lease with them.

That means hours in county records tracing ownership back through generations, then kitchen-table conversations with ranchers and families about royalties and terms. The show stretches the job into crisis management, with Tommy handling accidents, lawsuits and cartel pressure, but the core idea, the person who stands between the company and everyone it affects, comes straight from the real role.

Which Paramount+ Plan Should You Choose for Landman?

Any Paramount+ plan that includes its original series will play Landman; the choice is mostly about adverts and extras. The cheaper tier carries ads and the higher tier removes most of them; the other extras in each tier change over time.

If you only want to binge Landman, a single month on the lower tier is the cheapest route; if you plan to keep Paramount+ for other Sheridan shows, compare the yearly options. Paramount+ lists what each tier includes on its sign-up page, and that is the place to check before you pay.

Who Is in the Cast of Landman?

Billy Bob Thornton leads, with Jon Hamm, Demi Moore, Ali Larter and Michelle Randolph in the main supporting roles.

• Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris: the landman and crisis manager for M-Tex Oil.
• Jon Hamm as Monty Miller: the oil company's owner and Tommy's boss.
• Demi Moore as Cami Miller: Monty's wife.
• Ali Larter as Angela Norris: Tommy's ex-wife, a scene-stealing comic presence.
• Michelle Randolph as Ainsley Norris: Tommy and Angela's daughter.
• Jacob Lofland as Cooper Norris: Tommy's son, who starts out working on the rigs.

How Many Episodes and Seasons Are There?

Season 1 of Landman has 10 episodes. Paramount+ renewed the show after its first season, so check the Paramount+ page for the latest season and episode count before you plan a binge.

Episodes run close to an hour each. If you are new to the show, start at Season 1, Episode 1: the story is serialised, and much of the tension depends on relationships set up early on.

Is Landman Part of the Yellowstone Universe?

No. Landman is a standalone story with its own characters, and you do not need to have seen Yellowstone, 1883 or 1923 to follow it. It shares Taylor Sheridan as creator and some of his recurring themes, not a storyline.

Is Landman Worth Watching?

For fans of Taylor Sheridan's previous work, yes. Landman has a different tone from Yellowstone: more openly comedic in places and more interested in the mundane bureaucracy of the oil industry, but it shares the same fascination with American capitalism and working-class survival.

Billy Bob Thornton gives one of his strongest TV performances, and Jon Hamm is reliably excellent. Be aware it is made for adults: expect strong language and violence. If you enjoyed Yellowstone, Tulsa King or 1883, put Landman on your list. More picks like it are in our roundup of the best TV shows to watch in 2026.

What Should You Watch If You Liked Landman's Oil-Country Setting?

Start with Hell or High Water (2016), the West Texas crime film Taylor Sheridan wrote before his TV career took off; it shares Landman's dusty landscapes and its eye for small towns living off oil and debt. There Will Be Blood (2007), with Daniel Day-Lewis as a ruthless oilman, is the darker, older version of the same story of land, drilling and greed. For the classic Hollywood take on Texas oil money, Giant (1956) with Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson and James Dean still holds up. If it was the crime and cartel threads that hooked you, our list of crime series worth streaming has more.
