Forget those other guys, Taylor Sheridan will be America's big winner in November 2024. His buzzy new series filmed around North Texas, Landman, will premiere Sunday, November 17 on Paramount+, the network revealed.
That's just one week after the November 10 debut of the final episodes of Sheridan's Yellowstone on Paramount.
Landmanwill launch with two episodes, with subsequent episodes of the 10-episode-long first season dropping weekly on Sundays, a release says.

Ali Larter, right, stars as Angela Norris, and Michelle Randolph plays her daughter Ainsley.
"Set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas, Landman is a modern-day tale of fortune seeking in the world of oil rigs," the release says of the show. "Based on the notable 11-part podcast Boomtown, the 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."

The series stars Billy Bob Thornton as the titular "landman" Tommy Norris, a crisis manager for an oil company. He leads an all-star cast that includes Demi Moore as Cami Miller and Jon Hamm in a recurring guest role as her husband, Texas oil titan Monty Miller. Ali Larter plays Thornton's wife, Angela Norris; their two kids are portrayed by Michelle Randolph (1923) and Jacob Lofland (Joker 2).

Other stars include James Jordan (Yellowstone), Kayla Wallace (When Calls the Heart), Mark Collie (Nashville), and Paulina Chávez (The Expanding Universe of Ashley Garcia); Andy Garcia (Expendables franchise) and Michael Peña (End of Watch)will make guest appearances.
Sheridan is creator and executive co-producer, and the show is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, 101 Studios, and Sheridan’s Bosque Ranch Productions. Its release comes sooner than expected; even the show's IMDB page says "2025."
Landman has been filming around Fort Worth in recent months, and, just as they did when Sheridan's 1883 came to town, fans have been making a sport of posting local star sightings on social media.
Some lucky residents even got to be extras in scenes shot at TCU earlier this year. The show reportedly also invited TCU film, television, and digital media students to shadow the crew during filming.
Unlike 1883, which was shot in and around North Texas in 2021, Landman is not considered a Yellowstone spinoff.
Filming around Dallas-Fort Worth is convenient for Sheridan, who lives on a ranch near Weatherford with his wife, Nicole. He also filmed parts of his series Lawmen: Bass Reeves in North Texas in 2023.
Sheridan is an honorary Fort Worthian who attended Pascal High School. He is the creator of the award-winning series Yellowstone, its prequels 1883 and 1923, and the forthcoming 1944, starring Matthew McConaughey.
The only question left is: Will Fort Worth get to host the big Landman red-carpet premiere, as it did for the Yellowstone Season 5 premiere in November 2022? Stay tuned.
