If you’re already a fan of Landman, the latest offering from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan, Newsweek has compiled a list of all the real-life filming locations you can visit.
Set in West Texas, Paramount describes Landman as a “modern-day tale of fortune-seeking in the world of oil rigs… an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires that are fueling an [oil] boom so big it’s reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics.” It stars the likes of Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore, Ali Larter and Jon Hamm.
The show is based on the documentary podcast Boomtown, which told the story of the West Texan oil boom. Boomtown‘s host, Christian Wallace, co-created Landman with Sheridan, which premiered on Paramount + on November 17.
Landman is filmed in Texas, with Fort Worth having served as the central backdrop. This is also where Sheridan filmed scenes for a few of his other TV series, including 1883, Yellowstone and Lawmen: Bass Reeves. Other locations include Odessa, Weatherford and Young County.

American Association of Professional Landmen Headquarters, Fort Worth
Filming for the series took place at the American Association of Professional Landmen (AAPL) headquarters. This is a good fit for the show’s themes of resource extraction and land management because the organization represents land professionals working in the oil and gas sector.
Fort Worth Petroleum Club
Another noteworthy setting for Landman‘s filming is the Fort Worth Petroleum Club. The high-stakes world of energy and finance is perfectly portrayed at this exclusive club, which acts as a gathering place for experts in the oil and gas industry.
Texas Christian University, Fort Worth
Texas Christian University (TCU) served as the backdrop for scenes featuring collegiate life and athletics. The university’s track and field stadium, otherwise known as Lowdon Track and Field Complex, is particularly notable, hosting sequences that involve the family of Jon Hamm’s and Demi Moore’s characters.
River Crest Country Club, Fort Worth
Known as the oldest country club in Fort Worth, its green-roofed central building is a standout feature in scenes where Thornton’s character interacts with influential figures. The club reflects the intersection of wealth, power, and social dynamics central to the plot.
Downtown Fort Worth
The towering skyline of Fort Worth is prominently showcased, with Burnett Plaza and City Place Center towers providing a contemporary backdrop. Additional scenes were filmed in Sundance Square.
Main Street near Fort Worth Stockyards
Main Street north of the Stockyards was used for various exterior shots, bringing a rustic Texan vibe and capturing the cultural authenticity of the area.
Ratliff Stadium, Odessa
This iconic football stadium in Odessa in Ector County, widely recognized from the 2004 film Friday Night Lights, is used for the establishing shots of the football stadium seen in the show.
Weatherford, Parker County
Weatherford’s small-town charm is prominently featured in Landman, with its wide-open spaces contributing to the show’s visual aesthetic. The town’s close proximity to Sheridan’s home ranch made it a convenient choice.
Rugged Landscapes of Young County
Young County, Texas, was also used as a backdrop for the show, enhancing its neo-Western appeal thanks to its vast plains and historical architecture.
What ‘Landman’ Stars Have Said About Their Characters
Describing her role in Landman at a talk at the American Pavilion during the Cannes Film Festival in May, Moore said: “I play an oil tycoon’s wife… lots of nice clothes. The substance of it is really exploring the issues around oil, petroleum, on all sides…and then of course there’s—as Taylor does so well—there’s delicious drama within and family dynamics.”
Speaking in more detail about what fans can expect from the show, Thornton recently told British TV network ITV: “It’s about the ins and outs, the ups and downs, the good and the bad and ugly of the oil business.
“It’s how we get the oil out of the ground and how dangerous it is and the people that worked in it or around it. It’s about families that are affected by it, so it’s not just a series about oil, it’s also about the lifestyle of the people and what it does to them.”
