Taylor Sheridan is still keeping Yellowstone fans well-fed with the upcoming series, Landman — here’s everything you need to know about the new show, including the release date, cast, plot, and more.

While Taylor Sheridan fans have taken a hit with Yellowstone’s early ending, there’s still plenty on the horizon. Thanks to his dedication to the impossible and ability to keep viewers hooked on unfinished plot points, Sheridan has managed to give audiences the best ranch opera since Dallas.

There’s more to come, and not all of it has to do with the Dutton family, either. While there are further Yellowstone spinoffs like 6666 and 2024 on the way, Sheridan’s latest series, Landman, will travel from Montana to Texas to explore the booming oil industry.

There’s already plenty of hype for the new Paramount series, so here’s what you need to know about the Landman release date, cast, plot, and more.

Landman: Is there a release date?

There’s no confirmed release date for Landman yet, but it’s likely the show will come out in late 2024 or early 2025.

Paramount hasn’t yet revealed where Landman sits on its slate of upcoming projects. But given how Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 is premiering in November 2024, we imagine that Landman would follow later in the year.

Either that, or it could be one of the first shows they put out in 2025. Either way, filming began back in early February, meaning things are well in motion.

What is Landman about?

Landman will be set in West Texas and follow the Norris family as they navigate the politics of the oil rig industry.

The show is based on the 2019 Boomtown podcast, an 11-part series that hit number one on the streaming charts. The podcast covered environmental issues and explored the 21st century Texas oil boom, which is the same thread the Landman TV show will follow.

The official synopsis for the Taylor Sheridan 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.”

Though there’s not much detail about the characters yet, it’s clear that the on-screen Norris family will play a big role based on the casting.

Who’s in the Landman cast?

The Landman cast already has a few famous faces, including Billy Bob Thornton starring as Tommy Norris. He’s set to lead, and there are quite a few other big names, too.

Here’s the Landman cast and characters:

Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris
Demi Moore as Cami
Jon Hamm as Monty Miller
Ali Larter as Angela
Robyn Lively as Ellie
Michelle Randolph as Ainsley Norris
Jacob Lofland as Cooper Norris
Bart Johnson as Patrick Ramsey

Most recently, Jon Hamm was added to the cast as Monty Miller. According to Variety, Miller is “a titan of the Texas oil industry who has a long personal and professional relationship with Tommy Norris (Thornton).”

Being a Taylor Sheridan venture, Yellowstone cast members will turn up, too. Michelle Randolph has stepped out of 1923 to play Ainsley Norris, Tommy’s daughter, while Jason Jackson (from Yellowstone and 1883), will be joining in an undisclosed role.

Is there a trailer for Landman?

There’s no Landman trailer yet, since production is still in early stages.

We’ll be sure to update this section when the trailer does drop, so check back! In the meantime, revisit where Yellowstone is at with the trailer for Season 5 below.

Where can I watch Landman?

Landman will be available to watch on Paramount+ when it arrives.

It’s likely that the series will be a streaming exclusive on Paramount+, the home of all Taylor Sheridan’s new TV shows. It’ll join the ranks of the Yellowstone spinoffs 1883 and 1923, as well as Sheridan’s non-Yellowstone projects, like Mayor of Kingstown and Tulsa King.
