The first trailer for Landman, the most recent rural America drama from Taylor Sheridan, has been launched – and I’m satisfied it will be Paramount Plus’ subsequent massive TV hit.
Released yesterday (September 5), the forthcoming present’s first teaser would not simply give us a glimpse of its spectacular star-studded forged. Indeed, the most recent unique sequence from Yellowstone creator Sheridan additionally offers us our greatest look but on the explosive melodrama that’ll not solely be a serious a part of Landman‘s enchantment, however has additionally come to outline lots of Sheridan’s acclaimed works for Paramount’s streaming platform.
Watch On
Hooked already? I do know I’m. After all, Sheridan’s monitor report with making engrossing tv for one of many world’s finest streaming companies is extremely sturdy.
The extremely fashionable Yellowstone, which Sheridan co-created with John Linson, is without doubt one of the finest Paramount Plus reveals round, however, Sheridan has nearly single-handedly put Paramount’s streamer on the map with plenty of different highly-rated sequence. That roster contains Yellowstone spin-offs 1883 and 1923, the Jeremy Renner-led Mayor of Kingstown (Sheridan co-created it with Hugh Dilllon), the Sylvester Stallone-starring Tulsa King, and the Zoe Saldana-fronted Special Ops: Lioness. There’s no motive to suspect, then, that this’ll be a licensed dud amongst viewers and/or critics upon launch.
Speaking of its launch date, Landman is about to make its Paramount Plus debut on Sunday, November 17. It’ll arrive with a two-episode premiere, with new installments set to air weekly on the platform till its finale is launched on January 12, 2025.
Who is a part of Landman’s forged? And what’s it about?
Plot smart, there is not a lot to go on. Paramount is enjoying it fairly coy on the story transient entrance, with solely a few in another way worded synopses being launched earlier than and alongside Landman‘s first trailer.
In a press blast accompanying the present’s inaugural teaser, Paramount merely mentioned of Landman‘s story: “Set within the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas, Landman is a modern-day story of fortune searching for on the planet of oil rigs”. As I mentioned, that is about as secretive as you are going to get from a narrative synopsis standpoint, however there are different snippets of knowledge that we learn about it.
Firstly, Landman is not a completely unique thought concocted by Sheridan. It’s really primarily based on a month-to-month podcast sequence known as Boomtown that was developed by Christian Lawrence and produced by Texas Monthly. The 11-part sequence, which launched on audio streaming platforms together with Spotify and Apple Podcasts in December 2019, tells the story of the ever-expanding massive oil business within the Permian Basin, which sits within the southwest nook of Texas.
As for the opposite massive factor we have discovered about Landman, it considerations its extraordinarily gifted forged. Indeed, there are many heavy hitters set to star in it, together with Billy Bob Thorton (Fargo, Goliath), Demi Moore (Empire), John Hamm (Mad Men), Michael Pena (Ant-Man), Ali Larter (Heroes), and Andy Garcia (The Untouchables, The Godfather Part III).
Landman is about to compete for viewer’s consideration with some massive TV rivals in mid-November, not least from Cobra Kai season 6 half 2, which arrives on Netflix on November 15. But, armed with its star-studded forged, engrossing plot, and gifted showrunner in Sheridan on the helm, it is bought an excellent probability of holding its personal.
