Fort Worth’s Don Artemio made latest ‘Landman’ episode. See all the North Texas references
The seventh and eighth episodes of Taylor Sheridan’s “Landman” aired on Dec. 22 and Dec. 29, and contained a few references to Fort Worth.
“Landman” stars Billy Bob Thornton and is described as a “modern-day tale of fortune-seeking in the world of oil rigs.” The Paramount+ series premiered Nov. 17 and airs new episodes weekly on Sundays.
Since “Landman” was filmed in the Lone Star State and is set in West Texas and Fort Worth, viewers can expect in-house references in the series.
The series has mentioned Fort Worth’s Petroleum Club, TCU, Hotel Drover, Sundance Square Plaza and more. The sixth episode featured scenes at the Fort Worth Stockyards.
Here’s a look at all the Texas and Fort Worth references in the seventh episode, “All Roads Lead to a Hole,” and in the eighth episode, “Clumsy, This Life.”
