Director: Taylor Sheridan
Oil money and hard labor collide in Landman, a 2024 drama that trades the boardrooms of prestige television for the dust and diesel of West Texas drilling sites, built around one exhausted fixer trying to keep an entire operation from falling apart.
What is Landman about?
Tommy Norris spends his days solving problems nobody else wants to touch — cartel disputes over land rights, roughnecks hurt on the job, executives who understand spreadsheets far better than they understand the ground they're drilling into. As an oil boom reshapes a small Texas town almost overnight, Tommy finds himself pulled between the world of roustabouts risking their lives on the rigs and the corporate leadership cashing in from a comfortable distance. His estranged family complicates things further, arriving with their own demands just as the stakes of his job start climbing toward something genuinely dangerous, forcing him to decide how much of himself he's willing to trade for a paycheck.
Cast & crew
Billy Bob Thornton plays Tommy with a weathered, dry-humored exhaustion that carries most scenes, whether he's negotiating with cartel figures or fielding calls from his own kids. Demi Moore and Ali Larter add sharp, competing energy as women navigating a boom-town economy that rewards ruthlessness, and Jacob Lofland brings a younger, rougher counterpoint as one of the roughnecks working the rigs Tommy oversees.
Context & significance
Created by Taylor Sheridan, whose recent work has centered on modern American industries under strain, Landman applies that same lens to the oil business, mixing boardroom politics with the physical danger of rig work. The show draws on real reporting about the human and financial cost of the shale boom, giving its drama a grounded, occasionally blunt edge rather than a glamorized one. It sits comfortably alongside Sheridan's other contemporary dramas without repeating their settings or characters.
