‘Landman’ season 1 is over. Here’s all the Fort Worth and North Texas references

Taylor Sheridan’s “Landman” has finished its first season, which contained a multitude of references to Fort Worth and North Texas.

“Landman” is co-created and executive produced by Sheridan and Christian Wallace, who wrote and hosted the Texas Monthly’s podcast “Boomtown,” which the series is based on. The series premiered on Paramount+ in November 2024 and wrapped its 10-episode run on Jan. 12.

Billy Bob Thornton leads the series that filmed in and around Fort Worth in spring 2024.

Since the show is also set in Fort Worth and West Texas, viewers saw more than a few references to the region and the state as a whole.
