New Taylor Sheridan drama series adds Jon Hamm to cast

Taylor Sheridan’s Landman cast continues to grow, with Jon Hamm joining the Yellowstone creator’s new series in a key role.

Taylor Sheridanis the busiest man in television right now. On top of finishing upYellowstone Season 5 Part 2and developing even moreDutton family spin-offs, the creator is also currently padding out his cast for Landman.

The new show will see Sheridan join hands with Paramount Plus once again to adapt the ‘Boomtown’ podcast into anew drama series. Landman will take place in the boomtowns of West Texas, following a fortune-seeking journey in the world of oil rigs. (There Will Be Blood:Yellowstone-style!)

So far, the cast already includes the likes of Demi Moore, Billy Bob Thornton, and Ali Larter. There’s also a few Sheridan alumni, including Michelle Randolph (1923) and James Jordan (Yellowstone, 1883). But Landman just added a major TV star to its ranks, and he already has a cowboy hat ready to go.

Hamm comes fresh off Fargo Season 5, which saw him play Roy Tillman, a villainous Sheriff who himself is above the law. (Sounds like good experience for any Taylor Sheridan project, really.)

The new series stands separately from Sheridan’s Yellowstone universe, joining the ranks ofMayor of Kingstownand Tulsa King. However, the official show description calls it: “an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires fueling a boom so big, it’s reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics.” …Sounds like it’ll feed the Yellowstone fans just fine.
