Landman: Release date, cast, plot, trailer and latest news
Everything you need to know about Taylor Sheridan's new show.
With Yellowstone and its many spin-offs under his belt, not to mention Tulsa King, Lioness and Mayor of Kingstown, you might have assumed that Taylor Sheridan had quite enough to be getting on with for the time being.
But like Ryan Murphy, Shonda Rhimes and Dick Wolf, to single out some of TV's most prolific creatives, Sheridan has turned his attention to another new title, Landman, which is set in the world of west Texas oil rigs.
Billy Bob Thornton leads the cast as Tommy Norris, a crisis manager working in the industry.
"Taylor said to me one day, 'When you go over to this house and you think of where you live, you're looking around and you think: I could have had this – but it went a different direction,'" Thornton said of his character (via Vanity Fair).
"I'm a fixer and a foreman. Even though I work with the head guy, I also work very closely with the people out in the field. I check the wells every day, get the information to give him, I deal with the landowners, and if something happens on that land, if there's an accident on the rig, I've got to solve that problem and go deal with the lawyers."
