Landman Debuts as Paramount+ Top Series Premiere

Taylor Sheridan's new series 'Landman' debuted on November 17, 2024, attracting an impressive 5.2 million viewers across Paramount+ and the Paramount Network, making it the most-watched series premiere on Paramount+ in two years. The show, which follows the oil boom in West Texas, stars Billy Bob Thornton and is based on the podcast 'Boomtown.' 'Landman' joins previous hits 'Tulsa King' and '1923' as the top three premieres in Paramount+ history. The series aired immediately after an episode of 'Yellowstone,' which itself garnered nearly 7 million viewers. Despite ongoing contract disputes with Nielsen, viewing figures were compiled using VideoAmp and internal Paramount data. The success of 'Landman' reflects the continued popularity of Sheridan's storytelling in the television landscape.
