Where Is Landman Filmed? Complete Location Guide

While Landman is set in Midland and Odessa—the heart of the Permian Basin—the series actually films primarily in Fort Worth, Texas, with select locations across North Texas and Oklahoma. Here's our complete guide to where the show is made.

Primary Production Base: Fort Worth, Texas

Fort Worth serves as Landman's main production hub, located approximately 300 miles northeast of the show's fictional Permian Basin setting. The city's diverse geography allows it to stand in for locations across West Texas.
