"Set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas, Landman is a modern-day tale of fortune seeking in the world of oil rigs," a synopsis said.

"Based on the notable 11-part podcast Boomtown, the series 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."

Sheridan is also the mastermind behind Yellowstone, 1883, 1923, Mayor of Kingstown and Lioness.
