by

Great news for television enthusiasts! It appears Paramount+ has given a nod to another season of ‘Landman.’ If you haven’t had a chance to watch it yet, this gripping drama delves into the world of oil rigs and West Texas’ wildcat billionaires, crafted by Taylor Sheridan. His narratives never fail to captivate us, and ‘Landman’ is no different!

The first season concluded on January 12, and it’s been a massive success! We’re talking about impressive viewership—according to Paramount, the premiere attracted a staggering 35 million viewers globally. This is their largest debut in two years. Moreover, the finale broke records by becoming the most-watched ending for any series on their platform. It’s no surprise that they’re planning to bring it back again!

Title ‘Landman’ explores the lives of oil rig workers, referred to as roughnecks, and the wealthy individuals seeking fortune in the oil industry. The storyline is loosely based on the podcast Boomtown, presenting an intriguing contrast between the laborious work conditions and high-stakes financial maneuvers. This series showcases the struggles of both the working class and the privileged, offering a unique upstairs-downstairs perspective. An impressive ensemble cast, including Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore, Jon Hamm, and Ali Larter, graces the screen in this production.

The show began airing in November and steadily rose in popularity as shown by Nielsen’s data, peaking at number 8 for original streaming content towards the end of 2024. According to Chris McCarthy, the head of Paramount+, it played a significant role in elevating the platform to greater heights alongside other successful series like ‘Tulsa King’ and ‘Lioness.’ Furthermore, Thornton’s performance earned him a nomination for a Golden Globe award, which speaks volumes.

In the background, Sheridan collaborated with Christian Wallace to bring about the project, and they serve as executive producers. Additionally, there are individuals such as David C. Glasser, Bob Yari, and Dan Friedkin involved, while MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios are producing. Moreover, Deadline has hinted at a casting call in Fort Worth, suggesting that preparations for season 2 could be underway.

It’s quite likely that the untamed West Texas spirit will make another appearance once it’s released. As of now, there’s no news about the start of filming or its release date, but given its pace, we may not have to wait much longer.
