10 Shows Like ‘Landman’ You Should Should Watch Next

Taylor Sheridan and Billy Bob Thornton are such a natural duo that it’s not at all surprising that Landman was another success for the creator behind Yellow stone and there are many spin-offs. Thornton plays Billy Norris, a crackerjack consultant, fixer, and general mercenary for a major oil conglomerate in present-day West Texas. Beyond the economic and political complexities of the oil industry, the poor man also faces extremely complex family drama, debt, criminal ties and substance abuse problems. Call him Dallas for a new generation.

You can broadcast Landman on Paramount+, and watch these similar shows once your binge is over.

Mayor of Kingstown (2021– )

Another Taylor Sheridan creation, this one stars Jeremy Renner as Mike McLusky, head of a family that has more or less kept the peace in the company town of the title for decades. It turns out that the corrupt town’s “business” is incarceration, and the McLuskys thrive when business is good, even if Mike himself has slightly different ideas about how to run things. The series deals, at least generally, with systemic racism and inequality in the prison system, but it is primarily a modern western about justice in a corrupt city. Flow Mayor of Kingstown on Paramount+.

Dallas (2012-2014)

It’s tempting to take you back to all 14 seasons of the original series, but this one is harder to stream – plus, this direct sequel is still pretty fun. Patrick Duffy, Linda Gray and Larry Hagman (as JR from the original) are all back, joined by a new generation led by Josh Henderson, Jesse Metcalf and Jordana Brewster. They are just as intriguing, conniving, horny and obsessed with oil as their parents. Stream Dallas on Tubi.

Yellow stone (2018 – 2024)

The Taylor Sheridan drama that launched an empire, plus a thousand spin-offs (well seven, including those in development). Montana’s Dutton family, owners of the state’s largest cattle ranch, faces family and political drama, much like a Dallasbut with the atmosphere of HBO Succession. Although the main series ended after five seasons, mainly to accommodate the departure of Kevin Costner, there is still much to explore in the show’s past and future. Yellow stone universe. Flow Yellow stone on Peacock.

Empire (2015 – 2020)

Terrence Howard leads a truly impressive cast (including Taraji P. Henson, Gabourey Sidibe and Vivica A. Fox) in this juicy and brilliant hip-hop-influenced soap opera. Howard plays Lucious Jackson (born drug dealer Dwight Walker), who changed his own fortunes by starting Empire Entertainment from scratch. At the start of the series, the music mogul is diagnosed with ALS and given a life expectancy of only a few more years. Refusing to see his life’s work die, he pits his three sons against each other to determine who will be in control after his departure. His plans are complicated by the release from prison of Cookie Lyon (Henson), the company’s co-founder and Jackson’s ex-wife. As the children say: drama! There is a little Dallas and a little of Succession (which Empire previous) here, sharing with these broadcasts and Landman all that family dynasty stuff, but with hip-hop rather than black gold. Flow Empire on Hulu and Tubi.

Goliath (2016 – 2021)

If the traction of Landman is Billy Bob Thornton as a complex anti-hero with substance abuse issues, this legal drama from David E. Kelley will work just fine as a streamalike, even without the oil wells. Here, Thornton plays Billy McBride, a once-successful lawyer who leaves the firm he founded after a murder suspect he acquitted kills his family. After a long period of doing nothing but drinking, he is drawn back into the fray when the sister of a deceased man asks him for his help on a case involving her old company, a large corporation, and some very crooked cops. Flow Goliath on Prime Video.

Mine (2021)

American television shows tend to view the rich with nuance, even when they engage in overtly criminal behavior. South Korean creators, on the other hand, have no problem criticizing the 1% (Parasite And Squid game are hardly exceptions), particularly the plutocratic chaebol families that control huge swaths of the country’s economy. The miniseries Mine centers on the women fighting for control of the massive fictional Hyowon Group from their family’s outrageously opulent (and extremely photogenic) residential compound. The plans of two increasingly powerful women who have married into the family, Hi-soo and Seo-hyun, are upended when the new housekeeper begins a romantic relationship with one of the male heirs, while a new guardian seems ready to reveal old family secrets. It’s really a Dynasty-a soap opera style, with various family members creeping on each other in search of control and a sense of identity. Flow Mine on Netflix.

The seafront (2025)

Trading oil for a family fishing business may seem like a big step, but we still have plenty of crime and drugs in this Netflix series. Holt McCallany stars as Harlan Buckley, returning to run the family business, which is linked to multiple dueling drug cartels, as well as unreliable family members and at least one (Supergirl(Mélissa Benoist) who seeks to escape her own legal problems by working with the FBI against her father and brother. Flow The seafront on Netflix.

Joe Pickett (2021 – 2023)

An atmosphere that matches, even if it does not reproduce Landman‘s family and business drama still works with the neo-western vibe that defines a Taylor Sheridan series. Michael Dorman plays Joe Pickett, a Wyoming game warden with a violent past and, of course, a violent present too. Dorman’s Pickett is less of a tough action hero type, and more of a nice, everyday guy who just happens to be involved in a murder via his day job. It’s not a comedy, but it’s definitely a bit weirder and surreal than the more literal style of something like Landmanwhich lacks frills like PickettThe memorable emu wrestling scene. Flow Joe Pickett on Paramount+.

Queen of sugar (2016 – 2022)

Another intense drama in a family business, with a hint of a succession crisis: in Queen of sugarthree widely separated siblings living in distant towns are brought together by the death of their father, who left them each an equal share in an 800-acre sugar cane farm in rural Louisiana. The Ava DuVernay-produced (and sometimes directed) series offers plenty of scandal and soapy drama, but ultimately it’s a show about a family coming together to preserve their legacy. The siblings (Rutina Wesley, Dawn-Lyen Gardner, and Kofi Siriboe) are a little less plucky and troubled than the Norris family (they’re mostly just trying to do the right thing), but they still generate enough drama to fuel seven successful seasons. Flow Queen of sugar on Hulu.

The Son (2017-2019)

The popularity of Taylor Sheridan-style neo-westerns inevitably leads us to something closer to a true western. In this series, adapting the novel of the same name by Philipp Meyer, a finalist for the 2013 Pulitzer Prize, Pierce Brosnan plays Eli McCullough, a ruthless cattle baron who attempts to break into the booming oil industry in the Rio Grande Valley in 1915. A parallel narrative sees Eli as a young man, kidnapped and raised within a Nʉmʉnʉʉ family. Although his history gives the character a welcome complexity, in the present he is as determined to build his empire as he is to prepare his son and grandson to take over after he is gone. Flow The Son on Prime Video and AMC+.
