Set in the high stakes world of the Permian Basin oil industry, the series follows veteran landman Tommy Norris as he navigates corporate power struggles, dangerous alliances, and the personal cost of chasing energy wealth in West Texas
Created by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, Landman explores the high-stakes world of oil drilling in West Texas. Set in the booming Permian Basin, the series follows Tommy Norris, a seasoned landman navigating the ruthless intersection of energy, power, money, and survival.
Drawing inspiration from Wallace’s podcast Boomtown, the show examines the modern oil economy through the eyes of roughnecks, executives, politicians, and criminals who all orbit the same volatile industry. As the stakes escalate across each season, Landman becomes a gripping portrait of ambition, loyalty, and the cost of power in America’s energy capital.
This Landman Series Hub will be updated regularly with episode recaps, reviews, and analysis from each season of the series.
Taylor Sheridan and the Expanding Modern Western Landscape
As part of the Landman Series Hub, it is important to understand the creative vision of Taylor Sheridan, the writer and producer whose storytelling has redefined the modern television Western. Sheridan first captured global attention with Yellowstone, a drama that explored land ownership, family legacy, and political power in contemporary Montana while examining the fragile balance between tradition and modernization.
Since then, Sheridan has expanded his storytelling across multiple series that explore different chapters of American life and frontier identity. Projects such as 1883 and 1923 trace the origins of the Dutton family and the brutal realities of frontier survival, while other series examine the intersection of power, crime, and ambition in the modern American landscape.
Landman represents a new frontier within Sheridan’s expanding body of work. Instead of ranching empires or historical migration, the series shifts its focus to the high-stakes world of oil production in West Texas. Set in the Permian Basin, Landman explores the volatile ecosystem surrounding the modern energy industry, where roughnecks, executives, politicians, and opportunists all compete for control of one of the most lucrative resources in the world.
At the center of the story is Tommy Norris, a veteran landman navigating the ruthless intersection of business, power, and survival. Through Tommy’s journey, the series examines the economic engine that fuels modern America while revealing the human cost behind the wealth generated by the oil boom.
Sheridan’s storytelling continues to blend vast landscapes with deeply personal conflicts, allowing the environment itself to become a character. In Landman, the unforgiving terrain of the Permian Basin shapes every decision and every risk, creating a world where fortunes can be made overnight and lost just as quickly.
Through this series, Sheridan expands his exploration of the modern American frontier, where ambition, survival, and opportunity collide in a landscape defined not by cattle and railroads, but by oil, power, and the relentless pursuit of success.
