Jon Hamm is moving from Fargo to Landman.
The Mad Men alum has joined the cast of Taylor Sheridan’s newest show, Landman.
Paramount+ says the drama is set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas and is a modern-day tale of fortune seeking in the world of oil rigs. Based on the 11-part podcast Boomtown, Landman is an “upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires fueling a boom so big, it’s reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics.”
Hamm will have a recurring role in the series, which recently began production, and play Monty Miller, a titan of the Texas oil industry who has a long personal and professional relationship with Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton).
Hamm joins a cast that also includes recent addition Demi Moore, Ali Larter (The Last Victim), Michelle Randolph (1923), Jacob Lofland (Joker 2), Kayla Wallace (When Calls the Heart), James Jordan (Yellowstone), Mark Collie (Nashville) and Paulina Chávez (The Expanding Universe of Ashley Garcia).
Sheridan co-created Landman alongside Christian Wallace. Both exec produce the MTV Entertainment Studios, 101 Studios and Bosque Ranch Production alongside David C. Glasser, David Hutkin, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, Geyer Kosinski, Michael Friedman and Stephen Kay. Dan Friedkin and Jason Hoch, for Imperative Development LLC, and J.K. Nickell and Megan Creydt, for Texas Monthly, also executive produce.
Hamm’s credits include the most recent installment of Noah Hawley’s Fargo anthology for FX, Amazon’s Good Omens and Apple’s The Morning Show. He’s repped by CAA, Forward Entertainment and Sloane Offer.
