‘Landman’ premier explodes with record-breaking viewers for Paramount+

This week, Paramount+ announced, with great glee, that last Sunday’s multiplatform global premiere of “Landman” delivered 5.2 million total viewers on its launch day, Sunday, November 17, across Paramount+ and linear preview – which aired immediately following the second episode of Yellowstone’s record-breaking new season. This marks the biggest global series premiere on Paramount+ in two years – and “Landman” joins “Tulsa King” and “1923” as the top three biggest season launches in Paramount+ history. “Landman” also secured the #1 spot for a U.S. premiere in Paramount+ history within its first three days.

In 2015, Taylor Sheridan started his writing career with “Sicario” (then “Hell of High Water”, “Yellowstone”)

In 2022, he bought 6666 Ranch in Texas for $320m. He paid for it with a 10+ show deal with Paramount, which is how we get this “Landman” dialogue:pic.twitter.com/dRWkpiLDEA

Starring Oscarwinner Billy Bob Thornton and from co-creators Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, “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 notable 11-part podcast “Boomtown” from Imperative Entertainment and Texas Monthly, the series is 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, the drama series stars Ali Larter, Jacob Lofland, Michelle Randolph, Paulina Chávez, Kayla Wallace, Mark Collie, James Jordan and Demi Moore. Jon Hamm stars in a recurring guest role. Andy Garcia and Michael Peña serve as guest stars.

“Landman” is executive produced by co-creator Taylor Sheridan, David C. Glasser, David Hutkin, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, co-creator Christian Wallace, Geyer Kosinski, Michael Friedman and Stephen Kay. Dan Friedkin and Jason Hoch for Imperative Entertainment, and J.K. Nickell and Megan Creydt for Texas Monthly also executive produce. Peter Feldman serves as co-executive producer.
