Taylor Sheridan's latest series, 'Landman,' has set a new record as the biggest global premiere for a Paramount+ original, reaching 14.6 million multiplatform views in its first week.
The show, inspired by the 2019 podcast 'Boomtown,' explores the complexities of the Texas oil industry through layered storytelling and nuanced characters.
Billy Bob Thornton leads the cast as Tommy Norris, a crisis manager navigating personal and professional challenges, with notable performances by Jon Hamm, Demi Moore, and Ali Larter.
