The words “Taylor Sheridan” attached to any project these days are like catnip for certain TV viewers. So, the arrival of Landman, Sheridan’s latest offering, is bound to generate some buzz. Tonight, Stephen Colbert welcomes Billy Bob Thornton, star of the upcoming Paramount+ series, to discuss the gritty world of West Texas oil and the global implications of black gold.
Premiering November 17th, Landman centers around the oil-soaked landscapes of the Permian Basin, exploring the high-stakes game of drilling, ambition, and the characters caught in the middle. Thornton, no stranger to playing morally ambiguous figures, leads a cast including Ali Larter, Michelle Randolph, Jacob Lofland, J.R. Villarreal, and J.J. Thompson. With Sheridan penning all ten episodes, expect a potent dose of his signature blend of tension and Western-tinged drama. The series is based on the Boomtown podcast, offering a glimpse into the world where fortunes are made and lost amidst the clatter of oil rigs.
Also gracing Colbert’s stage is the always engaging Sharon Horgan. Fresh off the season 2 premiere of her acclaimed Apple TV+ series Bad Sisters, Horgan is expected to dish on the latest twists and turns in the darkly comedic saga of the Garvey sisters.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert airs Thursday, November 14, 2024, at 11:35 PM-12:37 AM ET/PT on CBS.
