Several Fort Worth references and locations appeared in the latest “Landman” episode.

The Taylor Sheridan co-created show returned for its 10-episode second season on Nov. 16 and will air weekly until January. The Paramount+ show filmed in and around Fort Worth over the spring and summer. A third season was just announced.

TCU, Frost Tower, 61 Osteria, Oakwood Cemetery, Cattleman’s Steak House, River Crest Country Club, downtown Fort Worth and even the Star-Telegram have been spotted in the first four episodes this season.

Here’s a look at all the locations and references featured in episode five, “The Pirate Dinner.”

Sabine Pass

At 3:25, Angela (Ali Larter) asks T.L. (Sam Elliott) what his last meal would be if he was on death row. He says the best meal he ever had in his life was “at the marina in Sabine Pass.”

This is in reference to Sabine Pass, a neighborhood in Port Arthur, Texas. Sabine Pass is located just off the Sabine River near the Texas-Louisiana border.

Troy Aikman

At 14 minutes, Tommy (Billy Bob Thornton) is going over a beer menu at the Patch Cafe. He makes jokes at some of the names, including a beer named “Eight.”

Ellie, the waitress, says that former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman owns the brand to which Tommy says that he may have to try it just out of respect.

Aikman launched Eight in 2022, and the beer brand is named after the number he wore while playing for America’s team.

Stockyards, downtown Fort Worth

At 35 minutes, Tommy is seen driving past Cattlemen’s Steak House in the Stockyards as Nathan (Colm Feore) calls him from downtown Fort Worth.

Nathan is seen walking on the sidewalk of the First on 7th building at 500 West 7th Street. The building was built in 1961 and was the former home of the First National Bank of Fort Worth.

East Fort Worth house

At 50 minutes, Cooper (Jacob Lofland) arrives at Ariana’s parent’s in Corpus Christi.

When Ariana (Paulina Chávez) pours the Bud Light, right next to the tap is one for Four Sixes Grit & Glory. A sign for the beer is also seen on the back wall of the bar.

Four Sixes Grit & Glory is part of the larger Four Sixes Ranch brand, which also sells beef products and equine supplements. Sheridan purchased the ranch for more than $300 million a few years ago.

“Landman” airs Sundays on Paramount+.
