Everything You Need to Know

Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan is launching a new show called Landman in November, and we’ve assembled everything you need to know, from the all-star cast, to the trailer and release date and more.

What Is Landman About?

According to a press release from Paramount, Landman is set within the high-stakes world of the West Texas oil business.
