Lots of fiery explosions and grimy-faced roughnecks fill the trailer for the new Paramount+ drama Landman, which also features a warning from star Billy Bob Thornton about how “getting oil out of the ground is the most dangerous job in the world.”

The drama set in west Texas that’s about — what else? — oil drilling and profiteering will premiere Sunday, November 17, on the streamer. The series will launch with two episodes with subsequent episodes of the 10-episode first season dropping every Sunday.
