Set in the stark desert of West Texas, the Paramount+ drama follows an oil company's dogged fixer as he tries to prevent the rigs, his family, and the American dream from falling apart.

Thornton stars in the 'Yellowstone' creator's newest series 'Landman,' set in the world of the Texas oil business.

Every oil company has a landman, we learn in the premiere of Taylor Sheridan’s new Paramount+ drama. The person in this position secures the company’s rights to drill land, keeps the employees in check and generally keeps things running — even if he has to do things that aren’t exactly legal to make that happen.
