"Landman is loosely based on journalist Christian Wallace's podcast Boomtown, which was put out by Texas Monthly in 2019. The podcast was an exploration by Wallace, a West Texas native who had a brief stint working in oil and gas, of the oil boom in Texas' Permian Basin region, where laborers and billionaires alike clambered to be a part of the upswing."
"Co-created with Taylor Sheridan, who also made the hit series Yellowstone, the pair just wrapped their second season of the high drama Texan show. When we reunite with Tommy in this latest season, he's tired as ever, and working alongside Cami Miller (Demi Moore), who is now the acting president of M-Tex following the death of her husband Monty (Jon Hamm) in the last season."
Landman follows Tommy Norris, a landman who secures oil leases, manages roughneck crews, and confronts frequent industry crises while smoking and offering wry comments. Tommy balances demanding work with family obligations, including his aging father T.L., ex-wife Angela, daughter Ainsley, and son Cooper entering the oil business. The series is loosely based on the Boomtown podcast originating from West Texas experiences during the Permian Basin oil boom. Co-created with Taylor Sheridan, season two finds Tommy fatigued and collaborating with Cami Miller, now acting president of M-Tex after her husband Monty's death. The show films across Texas landmarks, emphasizing regional authenticity.
