told People.“It’s Taylor Sheridan and obviously it’s very well written. It’s very well researched. It’s a story very well told, and I think it’s an interesting take on what happens when it comes to how we get the stuff that makes our cars and our lives and our planes and everything in our modern world go.”“Landman” is based on the 11-part podcast “Boomtown.” Per Paramount+, the show is “An upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires fueling a boom so big, it’s reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics.”Hamm will play Monty Miller, a titan of the Texas oil industry.

This is just the latest show on superstar creator Sheridan’s resume — which also includes various “Yellowstone” spinoffs such as “1883” starring Sam Elliott, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill; “1923” starring Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren; the upcoming “6666” and yet another spinoff, whose title has yet to be announced, starring Matthew McConaughey.Sheridan also has the shows “Mayor of Kingstown” starring Jeremy Renner, mob drama “Tulsa King” starring Sylvester Stallone and “Lawmen: Bass Reeves” starring David Oyelowo. “We’re already halfway through it,” Hamm told the outlet about “Landman.”“It’s not actually cowboy-oriented at all.”The “Mad Men” star added, “It’s more in the world of oil.

It’s based on oil speculators and what they called landmen, which are the guys that run around and try to acquire mineral rights and land rights in the hope of speculating and finding oil.

There’s a lot of oil under the ground here in Texas and they are constantly trying to find it.”Although he’s successful, Sheridan is not without controversy.

Jon Hamm says Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Landman’ is ‘halfway’ finished — as ‘Yellowstone’ fate still unclear
