Paramount+ announced that Landman, the new contemporary western from Taylor Sheridan starring Billy Bob Thornton, is set to premiere on Nov. 17.

The 10-episode Landman is set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas, and is a ‘modern-day tale of fortune seeking in the world of oil rigs’ based on the 11-part podcast “Boomtown.” The series is described as ‘an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires fueling a boom so big, it’s reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics.’

In addition to Thornton, Landman stars Ali Larter, Michelle Randolph, Jacob Lofland, Kayla Wallace, James Jordan, Mark Collie, Paulina Chávez, and Demi Moore. Jon Hamm will star in a recurring guest role, with Andy Garcia and Michael Peña also serving as guest stars.

Landman will launch with two episodes, and subsequent episodes of the 10-episode long first season will be available weekly on Sundays.
