Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan brings his latest drama to our screens this week. Landman features an all-star cast and is set in the ruthless and dangerous world of the Texas oil industry.
Paramount+’s 10-parter stars Oscar-winner Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris, a debt-ridden alcoholic who works as a crisis manager for his old friend, billionaire oil baron Monty Miller (Jon Hamm).
