The Story

Set against the backdrop of the contemporary oil boom in Texas's Permian Basin, Landman follows land manager Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) as he navigates the rough-and-tumble oil fields, company boardrooms, and the personal struggles that come with his work.

The series juxtaposes the lives of roughneck oil workers with those of billionaires profiting from the boom, exploring the economic, environmental, and human costs of America's energy industry.

Created by Taylor Sheridan and based on the Texas Monthly podcast “Boomtown,” the show delivers a raw and authentic look at modern-day wildcatting in West Texas.
