Paramount+ has released the trailer for its new drama series “ Landman ” from “Yellowstone” creator Taylor Sheridan .

Adapted from Christian Wallace's 2019 podcast “Boomtown,” the show follows Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris, also known as the “Landman,” who acts as a peacekeeper and problem solver in the world of Texas oil rigs. Additional cast members include Jon Hamm, Demi Moore, Michelle Randolph, Kayla Wallace, James Jordan, Jacob Lofland and Paulina Chávez.

In the trailer, Thornton can be seen careening down the barren Texas landscape in a dusty white pickup truck, looking for anything or anyone out of place. “The oil and gas industry makes $3 billion a day in pure profit,” Thornton says in a voiceover. “But before any of that money is made, you got to secure the land and manage the people. That’s my job. The first part is pretty simple, it’s the second part that can get you killed.”

This marks Thornton's first leading role in a television series since his portrayal of Billy McBride in Amazon Prime's crime drama “Goliath,” which concluded in 2021. “Mad Men” star Hamm joins “Landman” following his antagonistic role as Sherrif Roy Tillman in the fifth season of “Fargo.”

Sheridan’s previous western series “Yellowstone,” despite recent controversy surrounding the departure of leading man Kevin Costner, has been one of the most popular shows for Paramount since its debut in 2018 on Paramount Network. In 2023, the show received a Critics Choice Award nomination for best drama series, and Costner won the Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series.

Michael Friedman serves as director with screenplays from Sheridan and Wallace. Executive producers include Friedman, Sheridan, Wallace, Scott Brown, Ron Burkle, Megan Creydt, Peter Feldman, David Glasser, Jason Hoch, David Hutkin, Geyer Kosinski, J.K Nickell, Bob Yari and Dan Friedkin. 101 Studios, MTV Entertainment Studios and Sheridan's Bosque Ranch Productions act as producers.

“Landman” is scheduled to premiere on Nov. 17. View the trailer below.
