The series stars Oscar winner and Boxmasters’ Billy Bob Thorton
Paramount+ has renewed the 2024 breakout hit Landman for season two. The series, co-crated by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, stars Oscar winner and Boxmasters frontman Billy Bob Thornton. Landman scored in the Top 10 SVOD Original Series for quarter four across all SVOD, alongside Paramount+’s Tulsa King and Lioness, marking only the second time since Nielsen began tracking SVODs that a service had three of the Top 10 series, outside of Netflix.
Landman had 35 million global streaming viewers for the premiere episode and set new records for Paramount+. It was the most watched global premiere and finale of any series in Paramount+ history. It has placed as the top Paramount+ Original ever on the service with the top engagement driver and No. 1 on households.
Billy Bob Thornton scored a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Drama Series for his role as Tommy Norris.
Landman is set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas and 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, that it’s reshaping our climate, our economy, and our geopolitics.
In addition to Thornton and Moore, the series stars Academy Award nominee Andy Garcia, Ali Larter, Jacob Lofland, Michelle Randolph, Paulina Chávez, Kayla Wallace, Mark Collie, James Jordan, and Colm Feore.
The series is executive produced by co-creator Taylor Sheridan, David C. Glasser, David Hutkin, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, co-creator Christian Wallace, Geyer Kosinski, Michael Friedman, and Stephen Kay. Dan Friedkin and Jason Hoch for Imperative Entertainment, and J.K. Nickell and Megan Creydt for Texas Monthly also executive produce. Peter Feldman serves as co-executive producer.
Season one is available to stream exclusively on Paramount+ with a Blu-ray and DVD release scheduled for May. Further details on season two are forthcoming.
