Landman: release date, cast, plot and everything we know about the Taylor Sheridan series

Rejoice fans of Taylor Sheridan, the prolific writer has another TV series in the works with Landman. The Sheridan-verse is growing to levels that may only be comparable to Shonda Rhimes and Dick Wolf, as Land Man is one of about 10 shows that he has on-air or is developing, and another for the Paramount Plus streaming service.

Best known as the creator of Yellowstone, Sheridan has helped give Paramount Plus a number of its flagship shows, including 1883, 1923, Mayor of Kingstown and Tulsa King. Land Man is just another one that he has on the way, in addition to Special Ops: Lioness and Lawmen: Bass Reeves.

If you want to know more about Landman though, read on to get all the main details we can find on the series.

Landman release date

Landman is going to premiere on Sunday, November 17, exclusively on Paramount Plus. The first two episodes are going to be made available immediately, with 10 episodes in total comprising the season.

In order to watch Landman, you must be a Paramount Plus subscriber.

Landman plot

Landman is based on the podcast Boomtown, an 11-part documentary podcast that debuted in 2019 and chronicled the oil business in Texas. Here is the official synopsis for Landman:

"Set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas, 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."
