Demi Moore Joins Billy Bob Thornton in Taylor Sheridan’s Landman Oil Rig Drama
Hot off her FEUD: Capote vs. the Swans debut, Demi Moore has boarded the cast of Landman, Paramount+’s upcoming series from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan.
Based on the 11-part Boomtown podcast and set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas, Landman is described as “a modern-day tale of fortune-seeking in the world of oil rigs,” offering an “upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires fueling a boom so big it’s reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics.”
