Landman, a new Paramount+ series created by Taylor Sheridan, is a fictional story inspired by the podcast Boomtown. The series follows Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris, an oil industry intermediary who navigates the complex world of big corporations and the "little guys" on the ground. Landman, like other Sheridan works, explores themes of family, business, and survival against a backdrop of rugged Americana. The series draws parallels to Yellowstone, featuring similar storytelling elements and characters, yet it distinguishes itself through its Texas setting and the real-world context provided by Boomtown.
