Taylor Sheridan has a knack for crafting shows that don't just entertain but also tap into the cultural zeitgeist, striking a chord with audiences worldwide. His success is undeniable, but even his most popular creations face the inevitable ebb and flow of viewer interest. While one of his series has been shattering records, another is experiencing a notable shift in momentum, suggesting that time away from the spotlight can take a toll.
Landman, the hit Paramount+ drama starring Billy Bob Thornton, has officially fallen out of the platform's U.S. Top 10 television chart after an impressive 400-day run. This streak is even more remarkable when compared to other streaming giants: South Park managed 467 days, Ghosts reached 581, Everybody Loves Raymond hit 837, and NCIS achieved a staggering 980 days. Notably, no other Sheridan series has come close to matching Landman's longevity on the chart.
Set in the oil-rich boomtowns of West Texas, Landman is a modern saga of fortune seekers, roughnecks, and wildcat billionaires whose ambitions are reshaping the climate, economy, and geopolitics. The series, based on the podcast Boomtown by Christian Wallace, has been a standout for the streamer, blending gritty drama with sharp social commentary.
Season 2 raised the stakes as oil production surges, but secrets surface, and Tommy Norris (Thornton) finds himself closer to his breaking point than ever. With mounting pressure from M-Tex Oil, Cami Miller, and the weight of his family's legacy, survival in West Texas proves brutal—and something has to give.
The ensemble cast is a powerhouse: Demi Moore (The Substance) as Cami Miller, Jon Hamm (Mad Men) as Monty Miller, Colm Feore (The Umbrella Academy) as Nathan, Mustafa Speaks (Power) as Boss, Bobbi Salvör Menuez (Under the Silver Lake) as Paigyn, and Francesca Xuereb (Room 104) as Cheyenne. Season 3 will introduce Michael Kelly (House of Cards) as the head of a global oil investment firm, adding another layer of intrigue.
While Landman takes a breather from the Top 10, fans can explore other projects from Thornton, including his upcoming noir thriller set for a 2026 debut. Meanwhile, Sheridan's universe continues to expand, with delays for 'The Madison' and other developments keeping viewers on their toes.
Both seasons of Landman are currently streaming on Paramount+. Season 3 is in development, though no official premiere date has been announced. As the wait continues, fans can revisit the gripping drama that has defined Sheridan's recent success.
