Business is booming for Paramount+ as Landman gets renewed for season 2.

FULL STORY ======================================================================The hit Paramount+ show Landman has been renewed for season 2. The Taylor Sheridan series received the most-watched global premiere and finale of any series in the history of Paramount+. The series stars Billy Bob Thornton and tells the story of the 21st century Texas oil boom in the Permian Basin.

Taylor Sheridan's creative reign over Paramount+ is set to continue as
Landman has been renewed for a second season.

Landman is another rural American drama by Sheridan that's become a huge hit on Paramount+ and even broke records on one of the best streaming services. According to Paramount, Landman had the most-watched global premiere and finale of any series in the history of Paramount+. This fact may be unsurprising to many given Sheridan's history of creating engrossing television with the likes of neo-Western behemoth Yellowstone , Tulsa King , and Special Ops: Lioness under his belt.

Chris McCarthy, president and CEO of Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios and Paramount Media Networks, told Variety : " Landman was one of the biggest shows of the year because of Taylor Sheridans unique ability to tap into the cultural zeitgeist, harnessing the neo-Western themes of rugged
individualism, ambition and working-class struggles set against contemporary debates around energy, climate change and economic growth.

"The series has helped drive Paramount+ to new heights as the #2 SVOD in the US for Original hours watched in Q4, alongside our other hit series Tulsa
King , The Agency , Lioness and Dexter: Original Sin . What is Landman about?

Thanks to Sheridan, Paramount+ has become the home of neo-Western dramas . Landman is an explosive melodrama that's just another addition to Sheridan's acclaimed works that rank among the best Paramount+ shows.

Landman is based on the podcast Boomtown , which is hosted by the show's co-creator Christian Wallace and focuses on the 21st century Texas oil boom
in the Permian Basin. In Landman, Billy Bob Thornton stars as Tommy Norris, the overseer of an oil-drilling operation, a role which nabbed him a Golden Globe nomination for best actor in a drama series.

The official synopsis for Landman reads: "Set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas, Landman 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."

Landman features a star-studded cast alongside Thornton, including Demi
Moore ( The Substance ), John Hamm ( Mad Men ), Michael Pea ( Ant-Man ), Andy Garcia ( The Godfather Part III), and Ali Larter ( Final Destination ).
