Landman | Official Trailer 2 | Paramount+

The oil business transforms into the Wild West in the new trailer for Landman, Taylor Sheridan’s new series at Paramount+.

“Men die; oil companies don’t,” Billy Bob Thornton emphatically states in the footage. When oil companies need something to get done, they send in a fixer. In Landman, that’s Tommy Norris (Thornton), a crisis executive at an oil company. Tommy is the bridge between the wealthy executives and the crew on the ground. The explosive trailer features Tommy doing everything to ensure the oil operation stays running, even if that means putting out a fire or two.

“You wouldn’t want to have my job any week,” Tommy remarks as he walks away from a plane crash.

Besides Thornton, Landman stars Ali Larter, Michelle Randolph, Jacob Lofland, Kayla Wallace, James Jordan, Mark Collie, Paulina Chávez, and Demi Moore. Jon Hamm will appear in a recurring guest role, with Michael Peña and Andy Garcia serving as guest stars.

Sheridan and Christian Wallace co-created Landman, based on the story from Imperative Entertainment and Texas Monthly. Like most of his Paramount+ series, Sheridan is the writer of Landman. Executive producers include Sheridan, Wallace, David C. Glasser, David Hutkin, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, Geyer Kosinski, Michael Friedman, Stephen Kay, Dan Friedkin, Jason Hoch, J.K. Nickell, Megan Creydt, and Peter Feldman.

Sheridan fans will be very busy in November. Besides the Landman premiere, Sheridan’s flagship show, Yellowstone, returns for season 5, part 2, on November 10. Additionally, Tulsa King season 2 wraps up with its season finale on November 17, 2024.

Landman will premiere on November 17 with two episodes on Paramount+. Subsequent episodes of the 10-episode first season will be available every Sunday.

Comcast's breakup sounds like an alarm bell for Peacock, Xfinity, and the monthly internet bill. At the service level, the answer is calmer. Current customers shouldn't expect subscriptions, billing, or broadband plans to change while the company works through the split.

NBC News reports that Comcast plans to spin NBCUniversal and Sky into a separate public company, moving Peacock, Universal, NBC, Telemundo, Bravo, theme parks, and Sky away from the broadband and wireless business. The separation is expected to take about a year.

If you have ever scrambled for the remote because a commercial is suddenly blasting twice as loud as the show you were watching, relief is on the way.

Starting July 1, California is making it illegal for streaming platforms to run ads louder than the content they interrupt. Governor Gavin Newsom signed the bill, known as SB 576, back in October 2025, and it finally takes effect this week.

3 critically loved Apple TV+ shows that somehow still fly under the radar.

Apple TV makes excellent shows that somehow never break into the mainstream conversation the way Severance or Ted Lasso did. These three picks all share that frustrating pattern, stacked with critical praise, loved by the people who found them, and still criminally underwatched.

Between them, you get a mystery comedy, a sweeping historical drama, and a sharp workplace sitcom, which is proof that Apple's range goes way beyond its biggest hits. If you're looking for something genuinely great that flew under your radar, start here.
