Paramount+ has officially renewed Landman for a second season following a massive showing in Q4. The series, led by Billy Bob Thornton, became one of the top 10 SVOD original shows across all platforms—alongside fellow Paramount+ hits Tulsa King and Lioness. It’s only the second time since Nielsen started tracking streaming in 2017 that a service other than Netflix placed three series in the top 10.
Landman racked up 35 million global viewers for its premiere and now holds several Paramount+ records:
- Most-watched premiere and finale in the platform’s history
- #1 original series on Paramount+
- Top engagement driver
- Highest in household viewing
Thornton also earned a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Drama for his role as Tommy Norris. Read our review here where we rate it a 9/10 and call it a must-watch series.
